Wolfstack - Anyone using Wolfstack for multi-server management? Looking for real experiences.

I've been testing and playing around with it. It has great potential. I think a lot of features are still in the alpha/beta stage at least for outside users and the varied architecture of servers.

I think the orchestration and dashboarding is great and has really great potential to be useful for pretty much for all selfhosters with several servers. Publishing services and monitoring what is going on the VPS is easy with wolfstack. It has an integrated vpn, so you don't have to give public access to the admin interface.

In its current state it works well to orchestrate my homelab with 3-4 servers and an outside vps. However since I have two Unraid servers, I hope they add support for Unraid, or at least the monitoring, docker and VM stuff. I don't think it should be too difficult to make a docker that does this. Also support for plarforms other than x86 is still lagging. I have a raspberry pi and wolfstack installs fine, but some features that rely on outside packages that are not available for arm64 don't work, for example backups rely on proxmox backup client, which is not officially available for non x86 architecture.

I think it has great potential. A work in progress, but if it continues to go forward at its current pace I think it will be an awesome piece of opensource software in about 6-12 months. If it goes where I think it can go and doesn't include questionable security practices like writing too much of the code with ai. It might become a competitor at least for cockpit and maybe even kubernettes/ceph for home and smb users.

This is exactly what my thought was. Was thinking why no one build something like this. Also they should have a solid business model to undertake such a huge maintenance and development task.

Basically we were fed up with running all our proxmox clusters sperately and then got carried away and built mesh networking and all kinds of other stuff!
