For what it's worth, the instructions posted to this Reddit thread work: https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/10m528z/void_lxc_on_proxmox/ What I did was built a container, turned it into a template, and then clone the template to spin up additional Void containers. The only things I...

Cool, that matches my understanding which is good as I already started juggling things around, heh. The amount of free disk space on one of the hosts was looking to be a bit tight if I did things the most proper way and did a sync, assuming a sync would result in a complete second copy of the...

Yeah, which is where I was thinking if they were cross-pulling into the same data-store things could go wrong. Yep yep this is precisely why I have a local PBS instance handle backups for the local environment then sync across to the remote PBS instance! Oooooooh I will definitely need to...

Hello! I have two locations that are geographically distant from one another where PVE and PBS (to back up the local PVE environment) is running. I have the opposing PBS instances configured with a separate datastore with a sync job so that the backups for location A periodically sync to...

I think I found the mechanism to do this. Remotes! https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/managing-remotes.html#remote Question is, can I set up the new server as a remote, then pivot to having PVE back up directly to it?

Hello! I need to replace a host that is currently running Proxmox Backup Server. Is there a way I can migrate the datastore and configuration? I'd like to avoid re-baselining the backups if possible. I've found post about moving the datastore to a new volume, but this would be migrating the...

Nevermind! Found the answer to my question. qm rescan --vmid 104 Then I can delete the unused disk from the VM's hardware pane.

Hello, I started a disk move from a ZFS storage pool to a local thin LVM storage pool. I thought there was enough disk space, but I was mistaken. So, before the local LVM storage became full, I cancelled the move. The task seemed to cancel fine, so I went ahead and did the move again to a...

That makes complete sense. I think what I may end up doing is simplifying the setup as follows: One node running Proxmox VE paired with one DAS shelf. One node running Proxmox Backup paired with one DAS shelf. I actually do not have a great backup strategy at the moment, so I think the above...

I mean, someone has to push the envelope...heh. I am not tied to Ceph specifically. It was my original plan as per my setup, but these disk shelves have thrown me a curve ball, heh. I may look into sourcing a 3rd disk shelf, but that would be a future thing unfortunately. I would like to use...

Hmm. So, I just acquired two IBM EXP2512 DAS shelves. I'm trying to think of how to integrate these into my setup. Given that I have two shelves, not three, poses a bit of a challenge. I was reading about how one can build a 2-node Proxmox cluster and have a 3rd system participate as a...

This makes sense. I have to think about it a bit differently since the setup would be different than my existing gluster pool. With my current gluster setup, each host has its own RAID array, so a single disk failure in a given node does not result in any lost redundancy until an entire node...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Sounds like this is totally doable and I'm excited to get started! When it comes to the Ceph pool, I was planning on configuring it for 2 copies. The idea being that the cluster only needs to survive losing a single node. This is what I do currently with...

Gotchya. The temporary storage was something I was hoping to avoid, however I understand why it's recommended. So, this got me thinking and I *think* I have a plan. Since with Ceph I'd be presenting it the disks raw, assuming the hardware will support this... I can take two of the drives of...

Hello, I am new to Proxmox and am looking to migrate my home lab over. I'm currently running a 3-node hodgepodged together libvirt/KVM/gluster stack. I'd like to move this to Proxmox using Ceph. However, I'd need to juggle this around existing hardware. Here's what I'm thinking of doing...
