  • Are you looking at reproducibility for dev environments, or for a home server?

    For the former, Vagrant is probably the tool you’re looking for.

    For the latter it depends on the level of complexity and reproducibility that you’re comfortable dealing with. Something like Proxmox lets you snapshot and restore VMs, which may be enough. On the other end of the spectrum you would have golden images that you rebuild on demand, or cloud init coupled with ansible or chef to customize VMs on demand based on metadata.






  • Unfortunately, it’s both. They also hold back security updates for non-latest releases that are still covered under Standard support. I work in an environment where we track new CVEs for our builds, and we constantly see vulnerabilities for 22.04 that are fixed in Pro but not made available otherwise.

    Sure, technically you can opt into Pro as an individual user without paying, but it puts everyone who uses off the shelf installs and containers at risk and is therefore an immoral and unethical process in my opinion.
