homelab

Hello all, after reading a lor of posts around Internet I would like to downsize my homelab for saving dome money and for earning in redundacy. Now I have a Dell R630 with 4 SSD in raidz1 that stays on 24h/24h and a HP DL380 G9 that turns on only on Saturday night for ZFS replication. I don't...

I've been messing with Proxmox on and off for years in homelab using old desktops as hosts and lately added a pair of second-hand enterprise servers. Just started messing with Ceph in virtualized hosts, had a lot of fun with that and I want to try running it on metal for home & lab use. However...

Good afternoon. In my homelab I want to make a 3-node Proxmox cluster with Ceph. I also want to add a 4th separate host with PBS for backups. Each node in the Proxmox cluster will have an SSD for a 3/2 replicated Ceph pool for VM/CT disks. I also want to add a spinning HDD to each node for...

Hi - firstly, I have looked for a guide on how best to do this, but haven't found anything that I can make sense of, mostly because the majority appears to (understandably) be targeted towards Enterprise environments - if i've missed one, I would be very grateful for a link, and totally...

Hello all, I'm new here, so thanks in advance for your patiance. I just want to start a new project and after years of using ESXi in the past, I want to try something new. Currently, my IT career does not give me a lot of time to tinker with hardware and software but pushes me to be in the...

so, i have heard of proxmox a lot lately, and have been looking into it. then i come across this video and i don't like annoying popups. also, i don't mind supporting projects like this. so i venture over to the pricing page and i'm a little confused. it looks like it's $100 USD/year to remove...

Hello everyone! I search the net and look for a "golden mean" with my equipment. The more I read, the more I get the feeling that I am dumber;) Configuration of my (homelab) Fujitsu Primergy TX120 S3p: CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 @ 3.4GHz [4/8] RAM: 4 x 8GB SSD: 2 x 256GB, 2 x 512GB RAID...

Hello everyone, I tried to find information about this, but apparently my setup seems to be exotic in this aspect because no one else has done this. I have a small 2 node cluster and plan to add another node with PBS installed to back up all VMs and containers. But also: a whole storage pool...

Hey guys. Apologies in advance for a naive question amidst these deep technical discussions. I run a simple setup. Home lab, virtualised hackintosh, windows 10 PC, ubuntu, that I run generally one VM at a time with GPU PCI passthrough. I generally boot the machine and use my ipad to select the...

Hello all, for some time now I have been on a journey looking for a way of virtualising the workloads I toy around with at home. Ultimately I decided to shift from the free version of VMWare to proxmox because of the lack of features in VMWare for an unlicenced system and ended up on Proxmox...

Hallo Bezüglich meinem aktuellen Projekt sieht es nun so aus, dass ich noch über einen Raid Controller von LSI verfüge 9240-4i. Diesen würde ich mal versuchen in IT mode zu flashen und dann 4 HDD's anschliessen. Auf die 4 Platten kommen dann auch die VM's drauf. Parallel dazu hängen dann noch...
