The idea of running a hypervisor or container daemon within a virtual machine that is itself hosted by a physical hypervisor can sounds like an unnecessary, inception-like engineering experiment. But, when applied to running Incus inside a Proxmox Virtual Environment virtual machine, nested virtualization becomes very useful. design pattern for infrastructure. Proxmox VE acts as the foundational, bare-metal hypervisor, providing management for physical compute, storage, and networking. Inside a Proxmox-managed Linux VM, Incus operates as a secondary, lightweight container and VM daemon. Combining these two systems creates a layered architecture that solves operational challenges.
