Good morning, friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse!

This morning, I'm busy with the migration of a #virtualization cluster (based on #Proxmox, but also hosting many VMs on #FreeBSD). I've been managing this cluster for years, running it under #ceph, and everything works wonderfully, but the client needs to relocate, and the new location won't have space for the servers.

So, I'm moving the cluster and updating everything to an equivalent (but more modern) external infrastructure. I'll remove #ceph and use local storage in #zfs on individual machines to simplify things, but I'll set up external snapshots every 10 minutes. I thought about moving everything to #FreeBSD and #bhyve, but the client is accustomed to handling routine tasks comfortably through #Proxmox's web interface and wants to keep it.

Besides, Proxmox has always been a solution I've been very comfortable with, so I'll stick with the same setup.

I'll probably document everything with a blog post, but I have months of backlogged posts that I started and still need to finish... 🤔🔧
