3 months ago It probably works. It's just not tested. Somebody added some docs in the past: https://osism.tech/docs/guides/other-guides/cloud-in-a-box#running-on-a-virtual-machine. Those docs should be extended while working on the referenced issues. Yes, there could be "some" more content in the issues. I created them briefly as a reminder during a meeting.
The reason for this is primarily that we have a virtual testbed (osism/testbed) which does not work on bare metal. The idea was therefore that osism/cloud-in-a-box is for bare metal.
But I'm agreeing with you, it makes sense to make it work in VMs and we should bring it forward to be tested and documented.

I wonder why the automated installation doesn't work on VMs. Could someone please explain? I really think that it might help people to play around and evaluate SCS. I guess it's easier for most people to just spin up a VM on their existing virtualization platform.
I'd like to understand what's the problem here. I won't promise anything, but at least I'm interested to help there and maybe I could.

BTW @berendt: I think three out of the four issues I've mentioned above are from you. It would be great to have a leetle bit more information there, not just the title ;-)
