Hello, I have a small homelab cluster running a single HA VM for home-assistant as my lights depends on it's zigbee2mqtt plugin.Besides that one VM, I'm mostly running CTs but nothing of critical importance. I had a ceph setup but on my commodity hardware and gigabit network it's dead slow even...

PvE host is on my servers VLAN separate from my Clients VLAN where my NAS lives because historical reasons and poor discovery on windows/samba part. So servers don't need a router to work together, but to get to internet or to provide services to clients then yes router is needed and the router...

I expect to leave the second node off for the majority of the time, it's going to be powered on when I'm away (home assistant will schedule that) to keep a remote access in case something breaks. It already happened, my PSU of course waited for me to be away on holiday to fail last year...Cheap...

My understanding was that a node will not start any VM unless quorum is achieved, in my case the impact is that from cold start, if I start only one of the 2 nodes it will not start the VM/CT that are set to start on boot as it doesn't have quorum. I will test that anyway I now have an unused 3...

TLDR: is there a "clean" way to not require quorum or always achieve quorum with a single node? Clustering and HA is nice but in my homelab setup, there is no way to achieve network filesystem with reasonable performance at achievable price and power usage. I do have a cluster of 3 nodes with...

Hello, I'm facing some strange random networking issues with LXCs on my PVE cluster not able to communicate. For instance, sometimes, 10.0.10.51 which is a LXC will not be able to communicate with 10.0.1.23 which is one of my switches. When this occurs, I see no trafic at all coming in on the...

Got myself a +1 on btrfs storage replication. Will need to read about ZFS understand your pmxcf thing before I attempt ZFS, let's see which comes first, btrfs or me trying to learn ZFS

Thanks a lot, it's gonna be a lot of reading (young dad here spends more time with the baby than the homelab) I've read other users more versed in ZFS and using commodity hardware as I am and they all seem to get speed issues with ZFS probably due to the write amplification. So btrfs seems...

Wow, thanks @tempacc346235 but this does seems more involved than I envisioned, probably the reinstall node by node is more feasible for me in the end, but thanks again that is indeed the exact answer to my original question! A bit frightened by your warnings that ZFS would be slow for me...

Do you have maybe a tool to follow that up? I do have a Prometheus and node exporter, I could graph the before and after Isn't most of this overhead due tu actual redundancy? I'm not sure what the verbiage is in ZFS terms but I'm planning for a single disk no redundancy, if you were doing the...

Thanks @Dunuin , if the local-lvm can't be shrunk to make room for a new ZFS, I fear the full reinstall route is the only way to go for me, I don't have extra disks on theses machines, only a single SATA port... I did plan to do it node by node indeed as @leesteken also mentioned, I don't have...

Hi, I am running an LXC with frigate and would like to make it Highly Available using the lukewarm replication of the FS as my attempts with ceph are producing slow results (cheap SSD, 1GB Ethernet...) I just realized this relies on snapshots from ZFS, meaning my existing ext4 installs (3nodes)...

Not sure how to help, got NFS working from my syno, ensure the IP you set in NFS access rights on syno is the correct one (might be NAT somewhere on your network for example...) I use fstab to mount it it works fine inside my VM : <ip-of-the-syno>:/volume1/shareA /mnt/syno/shareA nfs...

Hello, I'mtrying to passthrough a USB TPU (Google Coral) to my frigate LXC. Now the fun thing is that it sometimes it tends to change in which order it's being detected, so my config mounting /dev/bus/usb/002/002 to the lxc works fine untill for some reason the device becomes accessible under...

Hello, I'd like to track the usage of some VM disks, in terms of I/O, bandwith, maybe latency, and see over a few days or weeks what is actually being used by my VM in term of storage performance. I would like to know this for my homeassistant VM as well as my main docker host VM (running...
