    Virtio performance and offloading

    Help choosing filesystem

    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...

    Cluster of 2 not for HA

    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...

    Random Networking issues

    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...

    LVM ext4 to ZFS ?

    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)...

    Passthrough USB device to LXC keeping the path /dev/bus/usb/00x/00y

    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...

    I/O and usage of a particular VM Disk

    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...

    HA cluster when virtualizing the router?

    I'm thinking of buying a third machine to build myself a HA cluster of PVE. The main reason is to have high availability for my HomeAssistant VM. I'm running on gigabit Ethernet at max so I expect disk performance to be quite limited but I believe HomeAssistant will cope quite well with it. My...

    Considering cluster or shared storage

    Hello, I'm writing this to maybe get some more idea as to why I should invest time and maybe money in building a pve cluster or a shared storage pool. As of now, I have a setup that mainly does failover and which I quite like : 1 miniPC with 6*1GbLAN bonded in PVE for LAG, 32GBRAM, 500GBSSD...

    find out what is using my CPU while I'm not in front of a console

    Hello, I know it's probably nothing specific to proxmox but I'll try asking anyway : Every day from 4 to 5am there is something running on my system, making it hot, and I don't know what it is... I have seen the CPU temperature spiking for a hole hour in netdata, the nice PVE graphs show me it's...

    HA usefulness without network-storage ?

    Hello, I use pve to virtualize my opnSense router, I'm about to install and configure a second machine with another pve and another virtual router that will use CARP to do failover of the first virtual router. I feel there is no need for me to use pve cluster features, especially since both...

    LXC or VM to run docker containers

    Hello, I have found a way and I can now choose either a VM or a LXC to run my main docker host on top of pve. It will be the one exposed to the internet by my opnSense router, it will run portainer to let me start most of my services and try out new docker containers. The LXC looks better for...

    [SOLVED] VLANs on Bond

    Hello, I face a strange issue on my bond where it works "almost" but depends on the order in which I plug in the cables... I mean, same cable at the same place each time, but first patch cable A then patch cable B will not work, but if I plug the patch cable B first and then the patch cable A it...

    Failover virtual port to physical ?

    Hello, I use proxmox to virtualize my main router, passing it all physical NICs for the moment, and also passing a virtual port to vmbr0 so that my router gives access to all other VMs to my wider network (and to the proxmox admin GUI) I face an issue when I backup my router VM since it's...

    Feature Request: Traefik integration

    Hello, I think Traefik offers APIs that Proxmox could leverage to become an integrated provider. In the end, the goal would be that upon LXC or VM startup/shutdown, some config gets pushed or removed to Traefik. The config in question should be an optional field for the user to define on the...

    Hello, I use pve to virtualize an opnSense box. I have all physical networking passed through (pci passthrough) to the opnSense I added an openvswitch iterface, to which the pve host gets an ip and the opnSense box adds this virtual interface to the bridge of all other physical interfaces.
