Wow - Beam Networks made a YT review about my #ProxLB project for #Proxmox!
ProxLB brings in some more features known from VMware like DRS etc. and it’s fully #opensource. You can find more information in the YouTube review - really appreciated - thanks!
Update zum #homeserver
Die To-Do-Liste: Heimnetz neu strukturieren
#proxmox einrichten und absichern
VM mit #debian und #docker einrichten
MQTT-Broker einrichten
#zigbee2mqtt als LXC aufsetzen und einrichten
VM für #homeassistant vorbereiten
Das mit dem Heimnetz hat sich am WE etwas hakeliger angelassen als gedacht. Nun läuft aber alles wieder rund und es geht weiter.
I really feel like #Incus will be eating #Proxmox' lunch within a few years. Between the webUI, the clustering features and the in-development custom #Debian-based secure Incus OS, there's all that's needed for a reboot on saner primitives of the #container and #virtualization host.

Heute auf meinem #DellWyse5070 #Proxmox installiert und direkt nen #LXC-Container mit #AdGuardHome gestartet
.
Netz jetzt: werbefrei , schnell
und unter voller Kontrolle
– nie wieder ohne!
Mit bisschen Internet & Hilfe von #ChatGPT in unter 1h erledigt.
New blogpost: "Trialling a move from a NUC to a container"
I spent some time today setting up a container to run my webserver and related tools (including mkdocs and hugo), as a test replacement for the current Intel NUC.
A current unknown - nothing like testing in production :) - is how well this small container will stand up to a lot of fedi-originated traffic. This is that test.

Lastly, I have #immich in a #proxmox VM as a readonly viewer of the samba share so I can see photos on my phone and other devices. My devices connect to #wireguard when out of the house so they can still access the server to sync!
Hope that is helpful to someone, and let me know what I'm doing wrong and can improve!
4/4
Next I run #syncthing on my laptop, and on my #homelab #intelN100 #n100 mini pc / server that runs in the cupboard and is very #lowpower I run #proxmox and this also has a #samba share which allows any other network devices to see the media.
With syncthing running, I always have two copies of the media, but for backup I was using #rclone to send an encrypted copy to #googledrive - which I am in the process of switching over to #nextcloud running on #hetzner
3/4
Been testing out the #virtiofs support now baked into #proxmoxVE. It works, had to do some #selinux adjustments on #fedora to allow my #podman containers to use the mountpoint. Added this policy
```
(allow container_t unlabeled_t ( dir ( read write )))
```
In raw speed it is definitely not a winner - #nfs is easily double the speed. But on this particular VM I don't need the speed - it is nice that this is all self-contained now, and I can actually remove NFS altogether.
So that #proxmox 6.14 kernel is not a good idea when doing gpu passthrough atm...
I'll just have to wait to see idle power wattage drop

Seems like Snowflake proxy v2.11.0 uses more RAM, about 100 - 200 MB. This used to be around 20 - 50 MB.
Still have enough RAM on my Proxmox server to dedicate for this VM though so I now dedicate from 3 GB to 4 GB RAM since I run 20 snowflake proxy process on this VM.
I'm gonna check back later and see if it uses up all that 4 GB.
I use Fedora, btw.
