Sorry, we want to understand your use case better. Did you provision *one VM via Proxmox* and then run *multiple users via Incus* inside it?

We’re curious how you handled provisioning, isolation, and resource limits in your setup. More importantly, what’s the maximum scale you’ve been able to push?

Why would I need a VM? I just install Proxmox on a computer/server and then create as many containers as I need. No VMs at all. VM is a waste.
A VM is more robust as a security boundary than a container is. Still not as good as independent physical hardware but certainly worthwhile.
We're not talking VM vs containers. We're talking VM vs no VM at all in base system.
I understand that. I'm saying that wrapping all the dev containers up inside a single VM serves to further protect the host system from the dev containers.
