- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 1 week ago:
The one factor that no one seems to have mentioned yet that is key for many of us is LEARNING …
It’s a great way to learn virtualization and containerization
I use it exclusively to run Linux containers, it makes it very convenient to backup and restore as well as replicate environments.
We are now migrating our lab at work away from VMW

That’s exactly what I have, and that’s exactly what I wanted … DARN … oh well. I guess it’s nice to have the document sync as well

correct, it also has the benefit of allowing my IP to change without impacting public or private access.

I do something similar I use Pangolin (Which is an EXCELLENT project) as a self hosted alternative to cloudflareD tunels. I host it on a public VPS and then thru it tunnel web traffic to my public resources, that way I don’t have to expose my IP or have a static. Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to “join” two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom’s)

Is it better than NC?
- Comment on Good boah 5 weeks ago:
Interestingly enough … the Cuban slang for “gay” is the same word we use to describe one of these gender changing fish
“Cherna” … while more light heated than the English F word, it’s still a derogatory term so please don’t use it on your friends.
Actually now that I think about it, this is how it’s most commonly used … Straight males sling it to their other straight male friends.

This is bad news … I also host my Pangolin ingress node on Ionos … Can you let me know what you pick?

- Comment on Help me figure out the way to scale laterally? 3 months ago:
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
Any clue what the power draw on the disk array is? I did some basic measurement with the kill-a-watt and a spinner takes about 6-7W where as an SSD takes about 2, the price difference is too much for my use case tho, performance per watt per TB, I’m better off with 1 single disk (or a mirror pair) of 6 TB in spinning rust.
I’m not particularly concerned about data security since I’m syncing evrything 3 ways. Whenever one of the drive fails I’ll consider it a “surprise disaster recovery exercise” XD
- Comment on Help me figure out the way to scale laterally? 3 months ago:
Appreciate your input. K8 is on the roadmap. Currently on portrait using pangolin as a tunneled proxy.
Eventually plan to migrate from Joomla in LXC to a docker swarm load balanced by pangolin.

It does but there’s a lot of other stuff connected that I can’t unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.
I’m using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220’s and 128 G and 8 spinners.

Song name? I feel like it’s way too fucking good to be an ad jingle
- Comment on What else should I self-host? 3 months ago:
I don’t trust oracle at all. The guide uses them because they’re free (It includes a business generator so that oracle doesn’t reclaim your box)
I personaly went with IONOS because they have a 2.99 plan with unlimited bandwidth which is great for pangolin as that’s routing traffic for my “media” box
- Comment on What else should I self-host? 3 months ago:
Host a pangolin reverse proxy on a free oracle cloud VPS! It’s super nice to redirect online traffic to a LAN resource, that way you can share your home lab with friends and family without having to forward any ports or loosen your security posture.

I also highly recommend this suite of tools for downloading and streaming legal media via torrent because I would never endorse piracy.
- Comment on VMware’s rivals ramp efforts to create alternative stacks 4 months ago:
Interesting,
I’ve automated deployment with SDNET and templates, but the other stuff you’re doing with terraform is more akin “Orchestration” There must be some GUI for terraform that works with proxmox.
I guess you could do the same with expansible and playbooks but it sounds like you’re looking for something with a GUI that does the work for you.
I can’t think of any, but proxmox does have an API … wondering why no one has done this yet …
- Comment on Questions about DAS 4 months ago:
My previous experience is with dropbox and onedrive and I tend to limit bandwidth … I want sync to happen in the background. It’s not something I usually consider “high priority”
I found NC to be a lot more flexible and complete, specially with all the machine learning options. I also appreciate the privacy and price Hosting about 7TB of data for $10 worth of power a month and a $150 investment that allows me to host many other things.
The web interface in my case is a bit slow initially but that’s mostly because I opted to route it via pangolin reverse proxy / cloud flare tunnels, but I notice once the redis cache DB loads it’s blazing fast.
Overall I’m pretty happy with the speed, I’m sharing this with a family of 15 and I haven’t heard any complaints yet.

not sure what the big deal is, I’m running a docker lab with portrainer inside a proxmox LXC
- Comment on Questions about DAS 4 months ago:
Wow! Thanks so much for that explanation. I think In my mind I was mixing DAS with SAN and “fabric”
I’m much more confident now In planning this upgrade.
- Comment on Questions about DAS 4 months ago:
Good Point, idrac has issues on this server, I’ll take another crack at it and see if I can get it going.
I tried with powerstat and powertop but no dice
- Comment on Questions about DAS 4 months ago:
about 5TB of the 7 I have available are in use. I was planning on expanding to 12 to allow for growth.
I could just upgrade to bigger drives (1 TBs currently) but it feels cheaper to go with DAS
- Comment on Questions about DAS 4 months ago:
Good point. I actually have a watt meter coming in the mail tomorrow. Will measure the idle consumption of the r430 and report back. This thing sits mostly at under 10% except when running backups or the machine learning algos for nextcloud image recognition.

hell yeah
- Comment on Questions about DAS 4 months ago:
I’ve considered it, but decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware.
I have a good source thru my job for tons of CTO hardware, these R230’s cost me about 50 bucks a pop, and considering they sip power they’re a really hard to pass deal, it sounds like a really good way to learn proxmox HA, load balancing and ceph minus the storage capacity
I guess I could still host a 10G nas on an r230 with a DAS, but my questions remain.

- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 4 months ago:
I’m currently using CF Tunnels and I’m thinking about this (I have pretty good offers for VPS as low as $4 a month)
Can you comment on bandwidth expectations? My concern is that I also tunnel Nextcloud and my offsite backups and I may exceed the VPS bandwidth restrictions.
BTW I’m testing Pangolin which looks AWESOME so far.
