Request for enhancement: Proxmox VIP via keepalived

[flatpzero]

Proxmox is a clustered solution without a single point of contact (IP#) through which the cluster can always be communicate. My solution to this has been to use keepalived, install it on all of the cluster members to determine who owns a VIP. keepalived uses VRRP to negotiate who owns the VIP.

I'd really love it if this could be part of the general product as it'd save me needing to configure it on each and every deployment.

I'd welcome others to contribute their thoughts on this.

I run a HA VM inside of the cluster that runs traefik with sticky cookies so that I can already reach my cluster by one host. This machine also holds all my scripts to manage my hosts (automatic mount/umount of network storages, CLI creation of machines, ...).

Would you perchance be able to share some of those scripts if they're on a repo? They seem immensely useful!

Unfortunately, they are not. Nothing fancy, just a cluster-aware wrapper around the default pct, qm and pvsm tools.

If at some point you do decide to share them, even if they're simple, let me know!

I've got a few generalised ones in a public repo for my use (https://github.com/modem7/public_scripts/tree/master/Bash/Proxmox Scripts) in case they're useful!
