Pie195

Pie195 refers to a popular and widely used open-source software tool designed for creating and managing virtual machines (VMs) and containers. Developed primarily for Linux environments, it simplifies the deployment and orchestration of virtualized environments, making it accessible for both developers and system administrators.

The software is part of the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) suite, which combines virtualization, storage, and networking management into a single platform. Pie195, often associated with Proxmox VE, provides a user-friendly web-based interface for managing virtual machines, containers, storage, and networking resources. It supports multiple hypervisors, including KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) and LXC (Linux Containers), allowing users to run diverse workloads efficiently.

One of its key features is the ability to create and manage VMs with minimal configuration, leveraging templates for quick deployment. It also integrates with ZFS and LVM storage systems, offering advanced storage management capabilities such as snapshots, replication, and thin provisioning. Networking is handled through advanced features like bridging, NAT, and VLAN support, ensuring flexibility for various network setups.

Pie195 is known for its stability, performance, and ease of use, making it a preferred choice for small to medium-sized enterprises, cloud providers, and home labs. The software is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), ensuring open-source accessibility and community-driven development. Regular updates and a strong user community contribute to its ongoing improvement and widespread adoption.
