(and that's with it running on top of #ProxMox !)

So anyway yeah I should figure out what box to buy to be a webserver at home.

And I'm also thinking about a DropBox/Google Drive locally hosted option. Need to do some reading on that.

Currently all of my websites live on a #DreamHost #VPS with 4 gigs of ram and 2 virtual cores on 128 gigs of storage. However I'm super duper out of space and I need probably a couple terabytes of storage available to post everything I want to post (I like posting photos to my blog and I have a huge backlog).

I'm thinking I can get away with something like a low end Asus NUC or Beelink or GMKtek mini pc.

I intend to run #ProxMox on this box so if there are other things I want to allow to ...

With #ProxLB (free and #opensource / #GPLv3) you can get something which comes close to it - also featuring things like affinity/anti-affinity rules, node pinning, grouping and maintenance mode for multiple nodes. And if you’re even more interested, there’ll be a talk about my project at the #DutchProxmoxDay next month :)

Le seul vrai soucis avec l'auto-hébergement d'un #cluster #proxmox, c'est la #consommation #energetique.

Mon nœud qui était précédemment isolé n'était pas optimal de ce point de vu mais ça restait acceptable (mesure à 25W sur la prise en fonctionnement normal). Je peux difficilement imaginer de tripler la conso à terme sur mon cluster.

Je vais donc progressivement remplacer les nœuds les plus énergivores. Déjà aujourd'hui, le nœud d'origine va être remplacé par un petit lenovo m710q.

#proxmox “Keep the host clean”

Also #proxmox “yeah btw q35 pci passthrough is broken atm. lol sorry”

v9 has really made me think about looking elsewhere for something like it. theres a lot it gets right but v9 is proving hard to love as the project (probably unsurprisingly given the vmware stuff) is lurching towards enterprises.

i have literally run proxmox almost non stop since 8 years everywhere. perhaps i should give it a break and chill and also not upgrade to .0 on “pseudo prod” homelab machines.

quicktipp #101: Proxmox PVE: Using `virt-customize` (from `libguestfs-tools`) to inject the qemu-guest-agent into the Ubuntu cloudimage.

Other than i.e. the Fedora cloudimage, the stock Ubuntu cloudimage comes without the qemu-guest-agent preinstalled. Here's an easy way to add it using the `virt-customize` tool.

... look earlier second-by-second until it finds an image or hits a timeout.

I'm also thinking of having the code SSH into the #frigate server to find the latest saved continuously recorded clip and then use #FFMPEG to grab the still image that way and bypass Frigate's API. Since the Frigate container and the #Debian container are on the same #ProxMox hardware, transferring a 10 sec video clip to grab a still won't be bad. Actually maybe ffmpeg can grab the still w/o downloading the whole...

omw to install my proxmox cluster using omnios as iscsi host, already been doing that for a few months, but now I got 3 new mini pc to experiment more!

gotta lay out the basics first tho

@roland Same setup here, same experience. I did 6 upgrades from Debian 12 to 13 and upgrade PVE and PBS to the newest versions. The only problem I had was my desktop machine that had apt pinning and a lot of extra repos. I could have tried fixing that, but opted for a clean install 😎

#debian #proxmox #homelab

Today I managed to get the to fun part of proof of concepting a migration from #Nutanix/AHV to #Proxmox.

They both use #KVM/qemu under the hood, so didn't seem like it was going to be a problem.

It really wasn't.

Linux VMs are a case of "export as ova from Prism Central, upload to proxmox, import, set the hardware to match the AHV VM, start it, done"

Windows VMs are a little bit harder, there's one extra step: add a VirtIO RNG device to the VM.

Job's done.

Now the complicated part: how to move a ~4TB VM when none of my test environment has 4TB of space in any one place.

Ja, Stromausfälle sind fies. Seit ich auf #ZFS #RAID setze, gab es allerdings kein Desaster wegen zeeschossenem Dateisystem mehr.

Nutzt due bei #Proxmox kein ZFS?

Wohin schreibst du die regelmäßigen Backups der VMs? Oder musstest du auf ein altes Offlinebackup zurückgreifen?

Schön außerdem: Über den Proxmox vnc kann ich auch den Systemstart (pxe, Linbo, usw.) sehen und damit auch per Screenshot dokumentieren - das geht an einer nicht-virtuellen Maschine nicht.

Sehr gut, um Dokumentationen zu pflegen!

Okay back to figuring out a better way to take periodic snapshots from 16 IP cam feeds and send them to a remote SFTP server...

I've got #ProxMox and #Frigate running at the site. I've tried using #HomeAssistant which I can get to work with one camera but not all 16 to automatically take timed snapshots and upload them to a remote server.

Frigate is hella locked down with the way I installed it. No Rsync or similar available.

I have been playing with #Debian to see if I can do it that way...

I made surprisingly good progress this evening with some #vibeCoding using #Gemini until I ran out of free queries. Then I switched to #ChatGPT which I suspect must be tuned to know when it's ingesting code written by Gemini because its answers were markedly improved versus starting from scratch.

I've got a #Debian container on #ProxMox now successfully retrieving low resolution snapshots from Frigate and uploading them via SSH plus doing housekeeping.

I need to get it pulling from the...

The #vibeCoding experiment continues. #Gemini produces better results than #ChatGPT. I haven't made a #Claude account yet.

It's interesting watching the #LLM refactor code. It very occasionally introduces a subtle error. I use the compare tool in Notepad++ to figure out what it's changing.

I'm now at a point where the code should be working but I think I'm hitting a #frigate or #proxmox issue. Everything is working except it's not successfully pulling snapshots from the high res streams...

Still #vibeCoding with no real idea of why I'm having this issue with #Frigate. I'm trying to grab a recent snapshot from this API: https://docs.frigate.video/integrations/api/get-snapshot-from-recording-camera-name-recordings-frame-time-snapshot-format-get

I can successfully get the snapshot when I do it from a browser but it's very hit-or-miss from a command line (#Debian in a separate container from Frigate on #ProxMox).

When I query for the most recent recording, it gives me a recording from one hour ago most of the time. Sometimes I can force it to see a recording in the last five minutes

Ok, I'm currently doing a resetup of my Proxmox #Homelab.

Why? Back when I set up #Proxmox 6 I was young and foolish to believe hardware raid controllers would outperform any kind of software raid like zfs.

Well I was wrong and so I'm doing an online migration of all of my vms to the new storage setup.

Means
1. Moving all of my vms to one node
2. Switching the HW-RAID to HBA (Host Bus Adapter)
3. Reinstalling Proxmox with ZFS-ZRaid-1
4. Rince and repeat with the other node.

🎯 L'objectif est de réduire drastiquement l'exposition de l'interface web d'administration d'un hyperviseur Proxmox.

💡 Plusieurs approches étaient envisageables (filtrage protocolaire simple, port knocking, vpn, redirection de port over SSH).

🔎 Au final, je présente une approche simple, efficace et pragmatique reposant sur la redirection de port SSH du fait du service OpenSSH déjà en fonction.

👍 Bonne découverte et bonne lecture.

I know a lot of folks are #Selfhosting big storage here, so this is a question for you!
Also, I follow you @stefano and @gyptazy and know you have hands on experience with this, hence the tagging.

I plan to upgrade my #Proxmox storage with 4 12+TB disk (mostly for expendable data, don't really care if I lost lot data if a disk dies, but they will be in #zfs raidz-1).

So for my current budge I'm thinking about buying WD Red Pro 12TB or I also found Toshiba Enterprise MG Series 20TB (MG10ACA20TE).

Do you recommend any of this, or can you help me find better disks?

Thanks for your help!
