Glad to hear so many people have it running via VMs good now. I know years
ago people would end up with issues with broken recordings. For that
reason in my case everything on my server is virtualized or containered
except mythtv. I don't get the ease of snapshots on upgrades, but the same
isolation where nothing else happening screws up myth.
