I upgraded my #Proxmox based #Homeserver with additional RAM and started using a #VM as my main desktop environment. Now I have access to 'my computer' on every device in the house. It's so convenient. :blobcoffee:

Bei #Proxmox gibt's aber auch gefühlt jeden Tag ein :tux: #Linux #Kernel Update.

A story…

`pvecm add NODE` – 👍

`qm migrate …` – ❌

Ok, let’s break apart this cluster…

#zfs #proxmox

Chatting with the SuSE folks at #OLFConference about my displeasure with #Docker and the silliness of running a virtual container inside a virtual machine, (because nearly everything today is virtualized). They directed me to look at https://github.com/harvester/harvester which is a solution for #kubernetes on bare metal. THAT actually makes sense to me.

Now if only that team works with the #Proxmox team to get this natively supported in that ecosystem...

Grrr. I just wanted to update #ovirt. Broke everything.

I think I'm going to switch to #proxmox or #xcpng or maybe just use #kubevirt

The #homelab been kicking my ass all day!!! Lost a #proxmox host, bad ram.. maybe! Took out a stick and things came back, lost a #lxd host, couldn't get it back. Need to rebuild my 3rd #lxd host as well as add ram to my #proxmox host. Currently having an internal debate if I really need to add ram, or am i using this as an excuse to spend more money!

I should buy more ram right.. some one tell me to buy more ram!!! 😂

#selfhosting #selfhosted

uhh i'm in ubuntu hell!! Had a #proxmox host die yesterday and I got that back up, but now ubuntu doesn't want to boot!!! it drops me into a command prompt that just says grub. I've done all the set and boots and I got as far as it booting into intrafms but won't go any further!! Damn I think this busta is lost!

Kann jemand mit dieser Meldung was anfangen. Inplace-Upgrade von #Windows #Server #Datacenter 2012 auf 2019. Die #AVMA Schlüssel gehen wohl nicht, da der Host ja kein Hyper-V sondern #Proxmox ist. Aber auch ein regulärer Schlüssel passt nicht. #computerkram

Übrigens mit community.general.proxmox_snap & community.general.proxmox_kvm hat man volle Kontrolle mit Ansible über Proxmox, VM's erstellen, löschen, State ändern und Snapshots erstellen, zurück rollen, etc alles kein Problem. Wer braucht da schon Terraform 😉 #ansible #automation #proxmox #terraform

I like proxmox so much that I installed proxmox within proxmox so that I can have a test / staging environment without messing with prod or needing additional hardware. It does work surprisingly well, but it does still feel weird.

#sysadmin #proxmox #selfhostedcloud

The network at my home was unstable just now.

Meanwhile 2 of my #Proxmox client VMs spontaneously restarted for no reason.

Maybe a mouse was up to no good.

#homelab

I have mused before about "why run #proxmox when I could just run #nixos directly?" and I have finally decided to just run Nix directly.

Why? The machines these are running on are fanless PCs and could handle Proxmox perfectly fine, but it added significant overhead for me to maintain them. Doing everything within NixOS itself is honestly way easier than even doing it via Proxmox's UI. And, if the heatsinks are any indication, it's far more efficient.

Why is #Proxmox so good?

cw'ed in case you're coming as well and don't want to spoilered!

1/N

Proxmox networking died halfway through the upgrade

Then the console locked up

After rebooting all the network interfaces refuse to come back up

So this is off to a great start

:blobfoxdizzy:

#Proxmox #HomeLab

Ach cool, der #terraform #proxmox Provider von telmate prüft über qemu-guest-agent, ob eine VM ordentlich erstellt und gestartet wurde.

Mir bekannte cloud images haben den aber nicht installiert, was dazu führt, dass der Provider kein Ergebnis bekommt, timeoutet und das apply fehlschlägt. Hmpf.

qemu-guest-agent kannst Du aber mit Cloud-init einfach fix installieren und starten, wenn die Maschine initialisiert ist. Zack, kein timeout, alles funktioniert 🥰

So, der Restore der ersten #lxc vom alten auf das neue #proxmox #cluster hat funktioniert...

Ich denke, morgen kann ich den Serverschrank an seinen Stellplatz umziehen, die Switche passend konfigurieren und die restlichen Maschinen migrieren...

Dann kommt der Backup Server dran

#ansible is really nice when it works. When you have PEBKAC issues, not so much. But I now have a third #proxmox node provisioned.

I really should get my head around #kubernetes at some point.

I’m converting a bunch of #proxmox VMs into containers, for better efficiency.

What’s the best way, do you think? Keep all services for each application(db, web, etc) in one container? Or split them apart?

The “big” one will be the Mastodon instance. I’m thinking about splitting it across “machines”. Bad idea?
