#proxmox

29 posts26 participants6 posts today

🤫 Pssssst - ProxLB 1.1.5 for your Proxmox Clusters has been released!

Just one small new feature:
* You can now use custom ports for the API request

This becomes handy when using additional/external load balancers on different ports than tcp/8006. Have fun :)

This weekend I got #proxmox running with a #Debian #docker container running #frigate and a virtual machine running #HomeAssistant on a #BeeLink #EQi12 #miniPC.

I have HA triggering a snapshot every 2 minutes and saving it locally. The next step is to get the snapshots to be on a rolling index that overwrites the old files. Then I need to figure out how to push the files up to an SFTP or similar web server.

I do have Frigate auto detecting but there's still more to do there.

It’s day two! Because of course it would spill over into a second day 😅

Starting off strong though - I have successfully moved my OMV VM to my NAS _and_ passed my hard drives through! No rebuilding raids for me :)

Now I just need to put the old RAM back in my main server until I buy some memory that is actually supported by my motherboard…

Two 1TB SSDs and two sticks of 32GB DDR4 memory.

I finally set up a failover AdGuard Home instance on my Raspberry Pi. Now, when I take my main #Proxmox server offline, our DNS isn't gone lol.

A Proxmox cluster would be nice in the future, even just with two nodes, so that and a couple other containers could fail over naturally. This is perfect for now though.

#Proxmox is essentially fantastic but there are some details that annoy me as an amateur.

Notably that you can easily migrate an instance from the web UI from one machine to another if you use the “local” storage on both, which is just sharing only the name, the disk is completely unrelated.

But if your VM is on another LVM-thin volume with a different name then it won't even offer the option to move it to another one. Which sounds kind of dumb as in the previous example, the data is effectively copied over the network, nothing magical.

The easy solution is to first move the disk internally to local storage (if you have the space) and then migrate.

As I tend to get easily confused I very much like my USB disks to be named ext_A_big_vms_slow , ext_B_vms_fast , ext_G_big_backups_slow depending on roles and which machine they are physically connected to.
Couldn’t resist converting 3 more machines to #proxmox hosts:
- TrashCan Mac Pro (2013)
- i7 Mac Mini (2014)
- 8” Chinese laptop with n100 CPU.

I’ll probably turn off the Mac Pro most of the time though. That’s 64Gb of RAM but it uses over 130w doing little . I wish I could turn off the two useless GPUs but haven’t found a way yet.

The Mini isn’t very efficient by today’s standards but at least when it’s idle it relaxes a bit unlike the Trashcan.

The nano laptop might be the most reasonable one. Low power usage (though much power in absolute terms either).

Is this necessary? No, but I have an excuse I am sick (also physically this time).

Sometimes I look into a tool and give up because it seems too complicated or a certain use case cannot be realised.

In this case, I do not like the way #ansible handles groups_vars/host_vars, because the values are replaced by default.

However, if you use a hash and set hash_behaviour=merge the variables can be defined following the DRY principle.

In my home lab, I manage the hosts with #terraform and use the #proxmox inventory source to identify these hosts and make groups based on tags.

k i installed tailscale on my router and got my #proxmox and containers all up again, and the secondary router set up in AP mode.

i have:
freshrss (which i love), searxng, and grocy and wger (both which i have yet to play with)

WHAT ELSE? i feel unstoppable (as long as there’s a proxmox ve lxc helper script, because i’m still learning) #selfhosting #selfhosted

Does anyone know how to run an #IPv6 #464XLAT #CLAT client inside a #Proxmox LXC container? clatd ( github.com/toreanderson/clatd ) doesn't work because tayga is unable to create a tun interface inside the LXC and I have some software to run that, you guessed it, is still stuck on the obsolete protocol + I don't want to create a full VM just for it.
