  • VMware’s rivals ramp efforts to create alternative stacks

  • 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 ....

  • 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

  • Questions about DAS

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • [SOLVED] ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP?

  • You already have a lot of good answers ... but I got one more to add.

    I have a very similar setup on my homelab and I'm using a Cloudflare tunnel.

    It's a free service and it's really good because it allows you to expose web services and specific ports for remote access over dynamic IPs without having to expose your own router.

  • Cybersecurity engineer here: I work for a defense company's data protection arm and you have NO IDEA how true this is. The really good companies spend almost as much in employee training as they do in software/hardware.

    But you wanna know what's even a bigger problem than human stupidity? GREED I'd say about 50% of the companies out there have very little or no security because why invest in something that produces no profits?
