our hypervisor deployment currently deploys to VMs, see test deployment-tf-proxmox.
we could instead just use the (lighter-weight) containers instead, which are similarly supported and do not need their own kernel.

implementation notes

options
- ~~nspawn~~ - less aimed at hardening / multi-tenancy?
  - ~~systemd-nspawn (no UI or TF?)~~
- LXC
  - proxmox: blocked on proxmox-nixos (TF)
  - incus (leaner, TF)
- ~~OCI~~ (would imply modular services, see #598)
  - ~~nimi~~
  - ~~kubernetes (#598)~~
- ...
compare: #721 (tests)

our hypervisor deployment currently deploys to VMs, see test `deployment-tf-proxmox`. we could instead just use the (lighter-weight) containers instead, which are [similarly supported](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/bpg/proxmox/latest/docs/resources/virtual_environment_container) and do not need their own kernel. ### implementation notes - options - ~~nspawn~~ - less aimed at hardening / multi-tenancy? - ~~[`systemd-nspawn`](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_Containers) (no UI or TF?)~~ - LXC - proxmox: [blocked on `proxmox-nixos`](https://github.com/SaumonNet/proxmox-nixos/issues/140) ([TF](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/bpg/proxmox/latest/docs/resources/virtual_environment_container)) - [`incus`](https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/) (leaner, [TF](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/lxc/incus/latest)) - ~~OCI~~ (would imply modular services, see #598) - ~~[`nimi`](https://weyl-ai.github.io/nimi/)~~ - ~~[kubernetes](https://git.fediversity.eu/fediversity/meta/src/branch/main/meeting-notes/2026-03-05-kelsey-chat-kubernetes.md) (#598)~~ - ... - compare: #721 (tests)

fwiw docker switched away from LXC - long-run we probably should further investigate OCI (c.f. #598 / #620)
