Proxmox uses kvm and lxc, but AFAIK does not relies on libvirt or virsh. So how exactly does it? Is it a wrapper for commands like eg. 'virt-install' which parses their results? Or does it use some low level C/C++ library? Yes, im fully aware that i will never be able to code anything nearly...

You dont understand. Please read again my main post. The idea is to have VM and its IP assigment bonded together. You create vm/ct, add static assigment from free pool. You delete VM/CT, IP goes back to the pool. No additional work required. Using opensense is just another place of setting...

Yeah after long analysis and internet advises i think DHCP isnt good way too. I mean, we failed once with local static ip assigments because office and server room were in the same network. So devs machines, builder devices and proxmox virtual machines IPS had to be managed from one place ->...

1. Static assignments works only for CT and is not sufficient because you dont see assignments in form of list which would show you what IPs are reserved and what are free. 2. External DHCP servers are always tedious to use - you have to manually copy generated MAC address back and forth. And...

Some time ago i saw a tutorial about using urBackup for doing proxmox host backups https://dannyda.com/2020/05/28/how-to-backup-proxmox-ve-host/ I have no experience yet with Proxmox Backup Server but from what i see it is also server-client solution which can be used for doing backups of...

Well dont want only to switch between servers. This i can do on clients side (manually or automatically). But i would rather try to revive the ones which are down. //EDIT OK i found option in HA section. I think problem is solved.

I have 2 LXC containers which are basically a twins (except MAC and IP). They are openvpn servers. Sometimes one of them just stops (entire lxc container). This happens once for few months. What i plan to make are some kind of watcher scripts (bash) placed on each other which will ping...

Yea but this is CT. My main concern is that kernel and some other system things which hosts shares with containers will change when i will restore it on new machine. Maybe im too carefull but i just want to be prepared for unexpected things as much as possible.

I have debian 9 container with nextcloud and LAMP stack. Also the data (nextcloud files and mysql databases folder) is mounted from the host (proxmox). I would like to move this CT from my old server to new one. How to do it the safest (most reliable) way? This CT contains most important data...

I have virtual machine which stores some data (artifactory). This VM is constantly growing. To avoid situation where i would need to expand this VM's drive from time to time i just created CT with NFS which servers some share for VM. In CT which servers the share, this folder is bind-mounted to...

i7-6820hq is my work laptop with Kubuntu. I already have some small testing env in docker and some windows sysprep images in vbox.

@Dominic thanks! How many monitors/osds you have on your ceph? I dont know it at all but RH documentation says about 3 monitors and 3 osds as minimum.

I dont think i7-6820hq would handle all those things i mentioned ( pxx cluster + ceph cluster + k8s kluster + buch of other things). I already have some small pc (i7 2600 + 12gb ram) with pxx on which i test some things (jenkins, artifactory, gitlab, docker, few apps instances) but its encrypted...

I want to dive more into proxmox clustering - 3 nodes in VMs, test some HA stuff because ive never did it. Also i want to test out some ceph storaging (with VMs). Which i would place on those virtualised proxmoxes (or next to them?). And use this storage for VMs. So ceph nodes will have...

Thanks for reply! Ok, but it doesnt make much sense right? I mean, deleting old snapshots wont give you additional space?
