Hello everyone,

Having a homelab is certainly fun and educational. Especially since CODESYS launched their Virtual Control SL for the masses. CODESYS Virtual Control SL is the "CODESYS Linux SL Runtime" shipped in a prefab Container Image for use with either Docker and/or Podman. The container is available in 4 CPU flavours: x86/AMD64 and ARM32/64.

I run a HP DL360 Gen9 server with 96GB RAM in my homelab. I installed Proxmox as main OS (bare metal) in which I installed Rocky Linux and podman to deploy the x86/AMD64 Virtual Control SL into like this;

• ProxMox
  • Rocky Linux 9
    • Podman
      • CODESYS Virtual Control SL Images for edge and control
        • vEdge
        • vPLC1
        • vPLC2
        • vPLC3
        • etc
    • Debian Cockpit
      • Podman App
      • CODESYS License Server SL
      • Various apps to do basic administration on Rocky
