Like 1 hour every two months or so, I just run an ansible playbook and check everything is working ok

I worked in the nightshitf for almost 2 years and can confirm this is so true.

Yes I use it a lot to read manga and some books. Works perfectly. On Android you can connect with CDisplayEX.

Great summary. How does work the provision with terraform? Do you have some guide? Is possible to provision LXC/VM on proxmox with ansible instead?

Syncthing, Gitea, jellyfin (with arr stack), audiobookshelf, Kavita.

Great starting point! I think option 1 will be better for this scenario. But later if you can, a cheap desktop build will be better for proxmox since you will have more room to expand and play with more things, add more storage even GPU for jellyfin.

Have fun!

Clean, looks great! I'm curious is this more lightweight than xfce mint (my prefered choice to bring back some life to old notebooks)? If it is why? I understand alpine is best choice to build light container images but I don't know how it behave as desktop

Could you share wp?

After 200hrs in my SEK2 run, I don't think there is a way to return to vanilla. I'm even thinking of doing another run after finishing this one.

At first I thought the progression takes too long and the logistics were complicate but after some planning and structure is really fun to solve the puzzles and see how everything works after putting the effort.

Has anyone played in multiplayer? I think it would be fun to plan production projects in group haha but none of my friends like factorio.

I perform a backup once a week from my main desktop to a HDD, then once a month I copy important data/files from all nodes (proxmox, rpi's and main desktop) to 2 "cold" unplugged HDD that's the only time I connect them. I do all of that using rsync with backup.sh and coldbackup.sh

I use syncthing for notes across mobile/desktop/notebook, for that and other important files the backup goes to Google Drive or MEGA (besides the offline backup).

I want to try S3 Glacier since is cheaper for cloud backup... has anyone tried?

Sure you can check https://trash-guides.info/

and here is my setup, I'm using podman containers for everything

Can we get a factorio server?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm using my RPi4 4gb to run a home media server, jellyfin and *arr stack all containerized and automated. Also syncthing for obsidian. Works perfectly

 

So I have been running a proxmox server for a few month now, just playing with it a bit blindly. Just recently bough another drive and reading the storage docs I got some question how does everyone else do things... now I'm planning a backup strategy and want to know what are good practices to manage my VMs/LXC and storage in general.

I currently have:

  • 250G SSD shared between host and VMs/LXC
  • 4TB HDD in RAID1 (ZFS)
  • 8TB HDD as LVM

I normally create VMs with 30G base storage in the SSD and add another virtual hard drive to the VM from the HDDs to create a LVM inside the VMs to store data. Is that good enough? Would I have bad performance creating the VMs in the HDDs?

When creating a snapshot I see this warning below:

WARNING: Sum of all thin volume sizes (438.00 GiB) exceeds the size of thin pool pve/data and the size of whole volume group (<223.07 GiB).

That got me wondering:

  • How should I store snapshots in another drive? In the ZFS? Would cause issues if I delete old snapshots?
  • What about backups for the VMs? I'd like to have automatic weekly backups but how should I plan this?
  • Also I'm not sure if the 8TB is ok as LVM or should be LVM-thin or directory?

If you know any proxmox storage management guide for newbies please share, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
