Die Aussage vom #Broadcom CTO in EMEA, dass der Preis fuer VMware zu hoch sei, weil viele nicht alle Features nutzen finde ich witzig. Ich stelle mir vor, ich bin ein Unternehmen nutzte vorher alle Features von #VMware z.b. von vSphere und muss jetzt 150% mehr bezahlen ... dann habe ich den kompletten Vendor-Lock-In und komme so schnell nicht weg und muss einfach nur mehr zahlen. Schoene neue Welt und schoene Ansichten werden hier versucht runterzuspielen. Source: https://www.golem.de/news/vmware-broadcom-liefert-einfache-antwort-auf-preiskritik-2506-197329.html

Mein Hint: #Proxmox, #kvm, #hypervisor

Oh well, that's one way to get snatched out of the 2 weeks Minecraft season...

Main node hosting the server crashed, time to investigate
It became unresponsive, impossible to reboot it remotely (I need a PiKVM or something along the line)

Now, there was a power disruption at that remote location, so all Proxmox nodes also rebooted
One doesn't come back up
One is up like normal
One is up but lost a disk...

That's one way to get back into it

#homelab #proxmox #minecraft #why #selfhosted

Just setup a backup of a remote Nextcloud server via Borg Backup to a small LXC container on my Proxmox server using a Tailscale network. Starting to get the hang of all this homelab stuff...

#borg #tailscale #proxmox #homelab #nextcloud

Note for myself: How to install #iPerf on #Proxmox.
1. CT Alpine
2. apk --update add iperf3
3. rc-update add iperf3
(4.) Reboot

Wie man so den Feiertag verbringt:
Neben dem Stress mit dem Handy habe ich einen #Cluster aus drei Nodes im #Homelab gebaut. #Proxmox kannte ich schon, verclustert habe ich noch nicht draus gebastelt. Und #Ceph ist für mich noch Neuland. Es gibt noch viel zu entdecken... 🤓

lol, I could hear the fans spin up for whatever my daughter's workload is on node 3 of my #proxmox cluster

A Minecraft server doesn't need 64GB of RAM and 16 cores, what are you thinking? :bloblaugh:

How could I ever live without #Proxmox ? 🤯🚀🖥️❤️

Little trick:

Server backup by using proxmox-backup-client inside a Linux container by running it with podman :podman: . Volume-mounting the entire root-fs of the server into the container read-only:

[root@argon ~]# sudo podman run --rm --name pbs-backup-job \
--security-opt label=type:spc_t \
--hostname argon \
--entrypoint /usr/bin/proxmox-backup-client \
--secret pbs_repo_password,type=env,target=PBS_PASSWORD \
--secret pbs_key_passphrase,type=env,target=PBS_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD \
-v /:/mnt/root:ro \
-v /root/argon-backup.key:/etc/proxmox/argon-backup.key:ro,Z \
docker.io/ayufan/proxmox-backup-server:latest \
backup root.pxar:/mnt/root --repository backup@pbs@neon.edelga.se:data --keyfile /etc/proxmox/argon-backup.key

Works incredibly well :-)

I have to order new rack ears for my UDM pro cuz I lost the ones it came with.. also have to order a switch but still unsure which because i also need 10G ports for TrueNas and Proxmox nodes.

Pues este portátil i7 de 4ª generación durante unos años hizo de servidor #Proxmox de producción, otros tantos de servidor de pruebas (cuando vino el Dell a sustituirlo) y ahora ha sido sustituido por otro Dell i7 de 10ª generación también para pruebas. Ya le toca descansar después de estar 24x7x365 durante tantos años. Ahora le he instalado #Fedora42 y podrá ir descansando. 🥲

The evenings this week have been a bit of an adventure with the home lab. I'm migrating a number of random services onto a pair of new VM's, one on each of my two Proxmox hosts. They'll become DNS servers (authoritative using nsd and recursive using Unbound), including basic DNS filtering of the bad stuff as well as DNS64/NAT64 services so I can move to more IPv6 mostly systems at home. They'll probably also pickup NTP and any other services that make sense along the way.

My challenge has been to perform as much of the setup as possible using Ansible. I'm still very much a beginner but I seem to be making good progress.

I've been fighting with NSD/Unbound and reverse DNS but after a couple of days that's on hold. Forward resolution is working so I've moved some of the home VLAN's over to add some load. Holy crap they are fast. There's a little delay for a new site not in the cache but it soon picks up. It feels like an order of magnitude faster than my venerable pi 3b+ running pihole with the same DNS filtered list.

I'll crack the reverse DNS stuff at some point and now I've realised the reason I couldn't restart NSD after a change (so I was rebooting the VM) was because I didn't realise the "remote control" options are also needed for local control on the VM, it's a lot faster to get updates on place.

More work tomorrow night on the Ansible playbook with some better tags to manage operations without updating everything.

Well I just done did a stupid.

I've been using the #proxmox root login since I set it up. I figured that's probably not a good idea, so I created a new user. I thought I set it up as an admin. I even added 2fA.

I checked and saw that the root login was in my password manager, so I deleted the autofill from Firefox.

Weeks go by. I decide to run updates. Turns out my user doesn't have the permissions for that and isn't a member of sudoers. I better fix that.

I try to login as root... and the password is wrong.

Oops. My server is headless so I need to find a small portable monitor so I can edit grub and reset the root password.

Nope spoke too soon, thought it was stable but 'QEMU[000000]: error: kvm run failed Bad address' fault showed up again after several VM start/stop cycles over several days, making the VM crash. This will be a hard one to pinpoint as breakage only occurs after a while with no apparent reason. Back to 6.11 #proxmox

Me construí l mío también ahora ando con dos preocupaciones. Una s la integridad d datos y el uso d memorias ECC n equipos de bajo consumo.

La otra y es mas solucionable las cajas para NAS. Esto último es q tampoco me he puesto demasiado.

Tengo:
Placa Asrock para Intel J5005 mini-ITX
2x8GB de memoria
1xssd 500GB Samsung Sistema
2xhdd 4TB Seagate Datos en Raid1
1xhdd 8TB externo USB3.1 Seagate para copias de seguridad
Caja Thermaltake Core V21

Un saludo

Turns out there was a uefi bios setting in the same category as ‘Above 4G decode’ and ‘Resizable BAR’ called ‘Above 4G mmio limit’ that had a default setting of 40-bit.

It needed to be set to 48-bit and now the 6.14 #kernel is not crashing anymore on gpu passthrough.
