Looking for early users & feedback: Test Phillux (lean alternative to Proxmox/VMware)

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋

With hypervisor setups getting heavier and virtualization licensing becoming increasingly expensive, I built Phillux to offer a lean, reliable bare-metal alternative for running VMs and LXC containers.

Key highlights:

• Single service / binary deployment (no cluster bloat on standalone hosts)

• Clustering & live migration across nodes with shared OCFS2 storage

• Built-in Windows 11 support (automatic UEFI, Secure Boot & vTPM 2.0)

• Per-guest firewall attached directly to virtual network interfaces (cannot lock you out of the host)

• Live ransomware emergency brake on hypervisor write patterns

Who I'm looking for:

Sysadmins, developers, homelab enthusiasts, and small IT teams who want a lightweight, modern virtualization dashboard and REST API.

What you get as an early user:

1. Instant access to our live demo (no setup required)

2. Free 1-year Standard license for anyone who provides constructive feedback

3. Direct line to me for roadmap requests, features, and troubleshooting

Drop a comment below with your current virtualization setup or what feature you miss most in existing platforms, and I'll send over license details!
