Compatibility
- Hypervisors supported: KVM/QEMU (QCOW2 native). Running on Proxmox VE recommended for easiest compatibility. May also work on other hypervisors that accept QCOW2 with virtio support, though performance/compatibility may vary.
- VirtIO requirement: Use virtio-net and virtio-blk for best throughput and correct interface naming.
- Cloud platforms: Not directly cloud-marketplace image-ready; converting to raw or other formats may be required.
