    PBS vs 2nd Node

    Yes, I know. But I like my network to be up in case I screw up a PVE upgrade or something. So opnsense is on bare metal for me.

    Worth reviving a 755 for PBS?

    Thanks @avw & @Dunuin for your replies. We pay around 7 cents per kWh. But does the PBS machine need to run 24/7? Can you set it up so that you can wake it up and on boot it would create backups and then we can shut it down. If I do this, say, weekly, then only 1 weeks "changes" are at risk...

    PBS vs 2nd Node

    Thank you again. Most of my containers only run a single service and are only 4GB except the nextcloud and bitwarden which are 16GB & 8GB respectively. As I mentioned, I have a NAS that I use for data, so the OS drives don't have to be large. In total I have 176GB of LXCs+VM. I could put in a...

    PBS vs 2nd Node

    Thanks for your reply. The thin client only takes in SATA m.2 and cannot fit a 2.5" disk. So it will have to be an SSD. However due to the small file size I wonder if it would adversely affect the life of the SSD. I also have another Dell Optiplex 755 SFF (Core2Duo E8200, 8GB RAM) lying around...

    Worth reviving a 755 for PBS?

    I have an existing Dell Optiplex 755 SFF Core2Duo E8200 8GB DDR2 RAM Intel NIC 80GB HDD This machine was serving as my Archlinux desktop for over a decade but recently the PSU conked out. I borrowed a PSU from a friend and made sure everything else is working. Is it worth spending $20 to get a...

    PBS vs 2nd Node

    I have a proxmox server that has 17 containers and 1 VM. I now have in my possession a HP T730 thin client with 32GB SSD and 4 GB RAM. Assuming I upgrade the m.2 SSD to 256 or 512GB and increase the RAM to 8 or 16GB, would it be better to have PBS installed on it and backup the containers or...

    Considering a server swap

    I do have a 11 year old Core 2 Duo desktop that I can utilize for PBS instead of using a VM. I just need to replace the PSU on that since it died. I can throw in a 1TB drive, which might be sufficient to hold the VM/container backups. Fair enough. the redundancy does sound appealing although at...

    Considering a server swap

    Sorry if I wasn't clear earlier. But my aim is to have Proxmox on the 2U server with TrueNAS as a VM. My existing NAS (TrueNAS on bare-metal) will be moved to the 1U server (current Proxmox server). I intend to add ZFS replication between both these TrueNAS servers (VM & baremetal) so that the...

    Considering a server swap

    I currently have Proxmox 6.4 installed on a 1U server (Supermicro X9) with 4x500GB on RAID6 (hardware RAID). This runs 15 LXC containers and 1 PCOIP (Archlinux). This is a standalone node. No clusters/HA or anything of that sort. I want to move it another 2U server based on Supermicro X10...

    Setting up openvpn client in LXC containers

    I forgot to update... but this worked in allowing me to run openvpn client from within the container.

    Setting up openvpn client in LXC containers

    I am trying to set up a openvpn client with my provider in a LXC container but it keeps failing 2021-08-03 19:51:19 ERROR: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2) 2021-08-03 19:51:19 Exiting due to fatal error So it seems that unprivileged containers cannot...

    PSA -- Do not upgrade to systemd 247

    An update: Last evening I updated my Archlinux containers and after rebooting a couple of them, I had no networking again. This was surprising because I already had the apparmor configuration in the config files for those containers as suggested by @wbumiller a few posts above. Did some more...

    The setup works fine. I didn't end up changing the SHUTDOWNCMD.

    PSA -- Do not upgrade to systemd 247

    I removed the systemd unit overrides that I had in 1 of my Archlinux containers and replaced it with the lxc.apparmor.raw configuration that @wbumiller suggested and I can confirm that the systemd units do NOT fail. So it's still a workaround, but one that is isolated only to the Container's...

    PSA -- Do not upgrade to systemd 247

    Thanks @wbumiller, your explanation makes sense. It is definitely better to simply make one change in the container's config file rather than having to override every systemd service that is failing. I only have unprivileged containers for every service that I run and have not had the need to...

    PSA -- Do not upgrade to systemd 247

    Thanks, but it seems after it being initially dismissed by poettering as an LXC or LXC/apparmor issue, the other devs are trying to fix it but have not yet found an optimum solution. I guess I will wait to upgrade my other Archlinux containers until there is some resolution. :)

    PSA -- Do not upgrade to systemd 247

    I have multiple archlinux LXC containers and I updated one of them and I no longer had networking after a reboot of that container. I fired up a new container for debugging and updated the Archlinux packages and systemd was upgraded to 247. During investigation, I found that a bunch of systemd...

    Unprivileged container, bind mounts and Nextcloud -- permissions

    No, I haven't set any ACLs for my server. I haven't even mounted the FreeNAS NFS share in the fstab of the PVE host. I simply created a storage of type NFS and pointed to the media share and mounted it at /etc/pve/media. Then I created a folder called "nextcloud" on my FreeNAS box's media share...
