i currently have multiple proxmox servers, some running ve 3.1, some 3.2 and one of them running 3.3.
each one has some ISOs and openvz templates as well as kvm templates and backups. but eventually drives get full after a while.
what i wanted to do is have all ISOs, templates on a specific hard drive on one of my proxmox servers (ex: my proxmox ve 3.3 server). and be able to share all of this stuff to all of my other servers over the internet, because these servers are not on same network, not on same vlan, not on same subnet at all. as a matter of fact, some of the servers are in different places across the globe, although most of them are in 1 DC.
once i share these ISOs and templates with the rest of the proxmox servers, this way i can free-up disk space from each server, and have them all on a single server. i'm not worried about bandwidth, as all my servers have unmetered bandwidth, and all of the ISOs and most templates are not very big in size; so it shouldn't be a big deal.
summary"
1) mount NFS from server1 to all other servers.
2) if i'm running firewalls on my proxmox servers, which ports are required to be open on server1, and which ports are required to be open on the other servers?
3) if there is a more secure way of accomplishing what i need, other than mounting NFS over internet, please suggest it.
4) still on server1, i have another drive, which i will use strictly for backups, so whenever any vm backup or snapshots happen, i would like them to be automatically backed up to that drive. again from any of the servers, to server1.
your help is greatly appreciated
