DHCP and Nebula

[Der Harry]

Hint: Nebula != Open Nebula

Hello greetings,

I am experimenting with Nebula (https://github.com/slackhq/nebula) in order to create an overlay network for VM that are distributed over multiple Proxmox Machines on several locations.

I would like to add DHCP to the internal bridges that should be aware of nebula. What is the best solution?

A) Put the DHCP to the lighthouse machine

B) Create a /24 network and have a “per Proxmox” DHCP Server and use nebula to add them to the main network?

C) Is there anything much cooler than nebula that runs out of the box?

Hi,
Proxmox team is currently working to implement distributed dhcp in the sdn feature (so maybe it'll be available in some months)

c) you can use vxlan or bgp-evpn in the sdn feature of proxmox

Nebula != SDN that's an advantage and also a disadvantage.

Pro: It works with "anything else" << That's why I got an attention to Nebula.
Con: SDN is much simpler to script and to install and is supported in pmox.

For the DHCP (with SDN): A VM with a HA DHCP might be also an option. I want to try this.


Thx for your nice info that we might get something out of the box!
