#Proxmox #Selfhosting

Coba #proxmox backup server dengan #wasabisys sebagai storage #s3, sepertinya memang masih technology preview, blm bisa diandalkan.

Verifikasi backup gagal terus. Sudah mencoba versi 4.5.1 maupun 4.6.1 (pbs-test).

Sekarang kita coba pakai #juicefs sebagai layer storage S3 ke wasabi.

So far lancar, verify snapshot juga blm nemu masalah.

For you who got stuck on 100% backup to #proxmox backup server backed by #S3 datastorage, please enable pbs-test repository to get #pbs 4.0.15-1 or 4.0.16-1.

4.0.15 is broken and you will stuck if backup vm with size above > 32GB.

Sepertinya combo yang menarik: #proxmox backup server dipasangin dengan #wasabisys

Lese #Proxmox, denke an #Proxmark3

Was mich an #Proxmox noch immer irritiert, sind random(?) fehlschlagende Replikationen, teilweise auch persistent.

Einzelne Container können aus nicht nachvollziehbaren Gründen nicht auf bestimmte Nodes replizieren.
Auch das Löschen und neuanlegen der Jobs und das manuelle Löschen ggfs. replizierter Volumes hilft nicht.

Lösche ich dann aber den Job und das Volume, kann ich den Container problemlos migrieren - was im Hintergrund eine Replikation auslöst.

Unlogisch.

I was really overthinking my VMs migration from the old Proxmox server to the new cluster, I even installed Proxmox DC Manager to try it out... turns out I didn't even need it and it was the easiest thing so far.. mount the shared storage to the old server, make a backup to the shared folder, restore to the new one. Done. LOL. #homelab #proxmox #linux #debian

Hab den Fehler mittlerweile gefunden: Hatte ne Fehlerhafte Sensor-Config.
Wieso das Problem aber erst nach nem Update augetreten ist 🤷🏽‍♂️
Vielleicht ists mir vorher auch einfach nicht aufgefallen 😅 #Proxmox #Homeassistant

Need some #Ceph advisory for my private cluster on #proxmox:

3 nodes with 2x 18 TB HDD each.

According to some docs I found, WAL/DB size should be 1-4% of the disk size, so a SSD should be between 180 to 720 GB for each disk or 360 to 1.44 TB for the two disks in each node.

Is this still be true or is it nowadays more relaxed and - let's say - 200 GB for each HDD will be sufficient?

ProxLB with upcoming new major features for Proxmox based clusters

Das eigene Homelab ist für mich nicht nur ein riesiger Spielplatz, sondern bedeutet auch Verantwortung. Backups, Updates, … klingt nicht sexy, aber gehört dazu. Damit meine Infrastruktur weiterhin rund tickert, habe ich heute die Updates für Proxmox eingespielt. Ab sofort läuft das Homelab auf Proxmox 9 im Hochverfügbarkeitscluster.

I spent the weekend making a fun DevOps pipeline because I felt like it and am now quite pleased.

I'm hosting gitea, n8n and docker registry in my lab. I now have a webhook in gitea for certain repos so that when I push to them, it triggers n8n to pull the repo and build the dockerfile. This image is then pushed to the registry, and watchtower will pull it when it runs.

Naturally have all my own DNS things for these app web guis which go through nginx. All of this is in proxmox LXC containers as well because why not stack vertically for ages.

#homelab #n8n #gitea #git #docker #nginx #dns #technology #proxmox

Sigh. Why does #Proxmox not include a DHCP client ? This is exceedingly annoying for use in student labs. Yet another stupid little thing that slows adoption.

All of the instructions that I see involve having to get the box online first in order to download a DHCP client and then manually configuring /etc/network/interfaces

@harrysintonen @catsalad why to use #proxmox for #HomeLab

Homeserver journey: hour 6
Going to write this while my chicken cooks since I’ll probably fall asleep after.
Original plan was to install #proxmox on a used optiplex, kinda realized I didn’t know what I was doing after the second hour of not being able to login. Wanted to test more things with Debian but I don’t know anything about headless servers, figured I needed to learn how SSH works anyway, it was way harder than it needed to be lmao.

Didn't know that Google Gemini could also run in the CLI

Had to change my #proxmox machines from CPU type x86-64-v2 to x86-64-v4 to support #mongodb > v5.0 as they require avx instructions now #rant #homelab #selfhost

Install Tailscale tsidp in Proxmox

In this guide we’ll walk through setting up Tailscale’s experimental Identity Provider (tsidp) inside a lightweight Debian Proxmox container. We’ll create the container, install Go, build the binary, configure systemd with environment variables, and run tsidp as a dedicated user.

This is a very raw howto, copy paste ready, based on my attempts, target audience is homelaber. Comments welcome !

1. Create a Proxmox container

• Debian template (Tested with debian-12-standard_12.7-1_amd64.tar.zst)
• Resources: 512 MB RAM, 1 vCPU, 8 GB disk
• Set the CT as unprivileged for security

2. Update system and install dependencies

Enter VM console and let’s start initial setup !

# Start from a clean OSapt update && apt upgrade -y# Install git and wgetapt install -y git wget

Download and install Go 1.24.7 manually:

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.24.7.linux-amd64.tar.gztar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.24.7.linux-amd64.tar.gzecho 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrcsource ~/.bashrc

Verify:

root@tsidp-tuto:~# go versiongo version go1.24.7 linux/amd64

3. Clone tsidp

git clone https://github.com/tailscale/tsidp.git /opt/tsidp-src

4. Build and install binary

cd /opt/tsidp-srcmkdir /opt/tsidpgo build -o /opt/tsidp/tsidp .

5. Configure systemd service

Create a dedicated user:

# Create tsidp user with home and no hselluseradd -r -m -d /home/tsidp -s /bin/false tsidp

Create your TS_AUTHKEY :

It’s important to create a reusable key so that the service can restart itself.
The README says “Ensure you select an existing tag or create a new one.”
So I created a “tsidp” tag for this purpose.

Create environment file with your newly created key:

cat >/opt/tsidp/.env <<EOFTSNET_FORCE_LOGIN=1TS_AUTHKEY=tskey-auth-xxxxxxxxxxxxTAILSCALE_USE_WIP_CODE=1EOF

Systemd unit /etc/systemd/system/tsidp.service:

[Unit]Description=Tailscale IDPAfter=network.target[Service]WorkingDirectory=/opt/tsidpEnvironmentFile=/opt/tsidp/.envExecStart=/opt/tsidp/tsidpRestart=on-failureRestartSec=5User=tsidpGroup=tsidp[Install]WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable service:

systemctl daemon-reloadsystemctl enable --now tsidp

6. Recap & Next steps

Once started, you can check whether tsidp is running correctly:

systemctl status tsidp

Or follow logs in real-time:

journalctl -u tsidp -f

Look for messages like tsidp server started or AuthLoop: state is Running which confirm that the embedded Tailscale client has initialized successfully.

You now have tsidp running inside a minimal Debian Proxmox container, with proper environment separation and persistent state. This setup is lightweight, reproducible, and suitable for lab testing.

Stay tuned for next steps !

Gestern Abend habe ich mir mal das beliebte Immich auf meinem #Proxmox Server installiert. Muss jetzt nur noch schauen wie ich am einfachsten die Bilder aus meiner Nextcloud auf dem NAS da am einfachsten reinbekomme ohne sie neu hochladen zu müssen. Oder ist es besser Immich gleich auf dem UnRAID NAS zu installieren?

#HomeLab

Mein Setup mit den 4 #Proxmox Nodes im Cluster gefällt mir recht gut.
Selbst wenn ein Node down geht oder ich ihn für Wartungsarbeiten offline nehmen muss, habe ich weiterhin einen voll funktionsfähigen Cluster mit hinreichend Ressourcen.

Sobald im nächsten Jahr das Gartenhaus steht, werde ich wohl 2 Nodes dorthin verschieben, um so etwas wie lokale Redundanz zu schaffen.

Tìm hiểu - Liệu mọi thứ chỉ xoay quanh hiệu suất?
Người dùng hỏi về lựa chọn giữa một host mạnh mẽ hoặc cluster máy tính nhỏ + NAS.隆middleri họ sử dụng Proxmox, ZFS và lưu trữ lớn. C Thánh Jacobs curious về lợi ích của các micro build ngoài tính hiệu quả và độ bền. Nếu bạn chọn, bạn sẽ chọn:
A) Cluster máy tính nhỏ + NAS riêng
B) Host mạnh mẽ duy nhất?

Ooops, Zeit total vergessen, schon sind einige Stunden um. 🙈

Dafür ziemlich feine Sachen getestet und gemacht:

• #Immich installiert (wo man es jetzt nicht mehr vor jedem Update Angst haben muss)
• Meine #Bandcamp #Musik-Sammlung auf #Jellyfin gepusht.
• #Finamp und #Fintunes als #Android-Musikspieler für Jellyfin getestet. Außerdem noch #Feishin auf dem #Desktop/Browser: https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin

Me he montado un NetBird y menuda pasada!

NetBird combina una red privada punto a punto sin necesidad de configuración con un sistema centralizado de control de acceso en una única plataforma, lo que facilita la creación de redes privadas seguras para tu organización o tu hogar.

De esta forma, puedo añadir mi móvil a la red de NetBird y automáticamente tener acceso a dispositivos que se encuentran en la red local de casa. Sin exponer esos servicios a Internet!

After more than 5 years I've finally written a post on my old blog because this post is longer. It's about my recent success of repurposing old hardware at the office to build a PC with two graphics cards. It hosts two virtual machines and each one has access to a dedicated Nvidia GPU.

With two monitors, mice and keyboards two people could even work on site at the same machine 😎 But this is primarily meant to provide remote desktops for I/O and editorial.

#proxmox

Normalerweise dauert das Backup mit #backrest (#restic) als incremental von #Immich ~5 Minuten.

Jedes Mal, wenn ich ein Update einspiele, lande ich bei 8-10 Stunden - also offenbar einem full backup.

Grundsätzlich ist das ja nicht verkehrt, verstehe aber nicht so recht, wie das zustande kommt.
Führt Immich bei einem Update ein touch auf alle Files aus und triggered das dadurch?

Allerdings steigt der Zeitbedarf für die Replikation in #Proxmox nicht an, was gegen größere Änderungen spricht.

But here I am today, I use Arch, Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, all that stuff, btw. I donate gigabytes of bandwidth through my standalone snowflake-proxy, for free ! I made my own home server and am able to self host stuff.

I'm not depressed and all that, because unlike most people, I don't let my childhood define me. I can think and feel whatever I want, like a Linux/BSD distro.
