    Do you run other things on your system other than containers? I have a VM that only runs containers so it really doesn’t do anything else with systemd apart from the basics so I’m curious if there would be any advantage to me switching.

      Most VMs only run containers, but I have supporting services on every host as well. Stuff like the mesh VPN, monitoring agent or firewall.
      If I want a quick overview, a quick systemctl status will tell me everything I need to know.

          I use Yggdrasil now with a whitelist of public keys. Though I’m thinking about redoing my architecture in general to make key distribution easier, have more automated DNS entries and also use the tunnel for any node to node communication.

          Before that I tried Tailscale with Headscale, but I didn’t want to have a single node responsible for the network and discovery.

            That’s very interesting. Once you connect something to your mesh you can access the rest of the mesh by IP? What is the gateway in that case?
