VM dependencies during AUTOSTART
Posted: 9. Sep 2023, 22:00
One of the features I am most missing (compared to vSphere, etc) is the ability to make one VM dependent on another.
For example, a database server likely would need to be up and running before another server which depends on the database service. Other likely candidates would be a file server or UTM, but the list could be long depending on specific needs.
Similar to the AUTOSTART delay, there could be a "delay after dependency" and (obviously) the ability to choose another registered VM. So as in the example above, you might want your dependent VM to start after the database server is confirmed to be running.
