Which FOSS software is essential to small businesses and better than their proprietary counterpart? (feddit.de)

I really like Syncthing, Nextcloud, Forgejo and Mailcow to collaborate with colleagues.

Kimai allows me to track hours and get paid.

Barrier allows me to use several computers at once.

Xen Orchestra is pretty much on par with VMWare stuff and way cheaper.

What other awesome software does allow you to work more efficiently in a business context and stays out of your way?

KVM Hypervisors

Proxmox VE makes this easy. Also makes building a cluster of such hypervisors easy. There’s a free version that gives you the entire feature set but you need to pay for support and access to the Enterprise repository.

It’s not the only option, and it may not even be the best option, but it’s pretty damn good.

I'm not even talking about proxmox, I'm talking about straight up QEMU with virt-manager on any RHEL like distro. Better yet if you have cockpit installed.

Libvirt is great, been using it at home to run VMs for ~10 years now.
