Comment on NUC, Proxmox and HA (a noob seeking for help)
dai@lemmy.world 2 months agoYeah there is a workaround for using bind-mounts in Proxmox VMs: gist.github.com/…/7e4a6f6f36610eeb0bbb5d011c8ca0b…
If you wanted, and your drives are mounted to the Proxmox host (and not to a VM), try an LXC for the services you are running, if you require a VM then the above workaround would be recommended after backing up your data.
I’ve got my drives mounted in a container as shown here: Image
Basicboi config, but it’s quick and gets the job done.
I’d originally gone down the same route as you had with VMs and shares, but it’s was all too much after a while.
I’m almost rid of all my VMs, home assistant is currently the last package I’ve yet to migrate. Migrated my frigate to a docker container under nixos, tailscale exit node under nixos too while the vast majority of other packages are already in LXC.

This all sounds awesome. So eli5 I have all my drives mounted to Proxmox, then passed through to OMV in a VM.
I can just mount these same drives to containers no issues right now, and I can add them to VMs using your link?
I would like to get down to LXCs too, but I’ve found VMs so much easier to set up and use. I’ll try your way

I’ve not tested the method linked but yeah it would seem like it’s possible via this method.
My lone VM doesn’t need a connection to those drives so I’ve not had a point to.
You could probably run OMV in an LXC and skip the overheads of a VM entirely. LXC are containers, you can just edit the config files for the containers on the host Proxmox and pass drives right through.
