MiniONE was intended to be used to quickly get the basic OpenNebula setup working. Just to minimize the time needed for the first hands-on experience and for basic evaluation. However, for more serious or long-term deployments the manual installation from packages is recommended.

Moreover, there is a third option (so far a tech preview) which is [containerized deployment](https://docs.opennebula.io/6.0/installation_and_configuration/containerized_deployment/overview.html)
