Love the power of Proxmox. I now have a permanent System 7.6.1 instance running on my network... as well as macOS Catalina. #macos #proxmox #retrocomputing

ich möchte #whisper via #proxmox installieren.

vm oder container?
dann docker?

freue mich über feedback zur umsetzung - danke :)

Thinking about spinning up a secure, VLAN-isolated (and firewalled via #UniFi) VM on my #Proxmox #homelab server to act as a public-facing edge node powered by #Tailscale Funnel, custom domain, and Tailscale-issued TLS certs.

For routing multiple services (Gitea, SearXNG, blog, etc.) through Caddy, all sandboxed from my main tailnet + LAN. No open ports, no cloud VPS, no trust leaks.

Any thoughts?

Looking for a dedicated GPU for #transcoding purposes turned out to be the worst rabbit hole.

So, I'm using a AMD Ryzen 4600G in my homelab featuring #ProxmoxVE. The hardware transcoding capabilities of AMD hardware is very much behind Nvidia and #Intel, even though it isn't half as bad as expected. Anyway, the best transcoding hardware (best quality at same size/profile) are Intel devices featuring #QuickSync. Setting up another dedicated transcoding device (featuing a low power Intel APU such as the #N100) device doesn't seem to make much sense for me. There are several Intel Arc GPUs on the market and they all have pretty much the same transcoding capabilities, so I'd like to get the Intel GPU featuring the lowest power draw, especially when idling. (1/?)

Warum Cloud, wenn’s im Keller läuft? Home Assistant auf Proxmox installieren ist der Weg, um dein Smart Home lokal und sicher zu steuern. Ich zeige dir, wie du das Schritt für Schritt umsetzt.

Not even bad the latency (this is just about latency, not overall bandwidth which reaches the full 4.9Gbit via 2x 2.5Gbit links).

Taken inside a Debian VM running on a Proxmox node connected to the storage:

GMKTec G9 NAS
2x 2.5Gbit
NFS 4.2 (with pNFS)
2x WD Back SN7100 NVMe
Mirror mode ZFS

While this are already pretty awesome latencies, let's see how it performs with SPDK and NVMe-oF (TCP).

Here's my new plan for installing #GUIX. First I'm going to take the installer ISO and install on a VM on my #proxmox machine. I'll make that a VM template and clone it to a working machine. That will have no issues with nonfree kernel, so should be fine. Then ill enable #nonguix channel and substitute servers, and enable the VM to serve substitutes to the LAN. Then I'll use the VM to build an ISO and put it on a #Ventoy USB drive, so I can boot it and `guix system init` new machines.

Found this tool called Stirling PDF - big multitool setup very powerful PDF manipulation. Runs as container.

Set it up on my #Proxmox with easy script from here -> https://homelabber.org/t/stirling-pdf-proxmox-lxc/231

Playing around with #Proxmox I’m sad it doesn’t offer me the full suite of choices for QEMU virtual machines in its UI. I actually *do* want to spin up and manage a POWER or SPARC or 68040 or S/390 virtual machine alongside my x86-64 VMs and containers, thank you very much! #retrocomputing

Please stop recommending #Proxmox to people who don't need it. If I wanted to run an outdated Debian distro I would use Stable.

One thing that would be kind of neat: Proxmox integration for SIMH! I wonder how tedious it is to write a plug-in… #proxmox #simh #retrocomputing

@deadbeefdotmonster I was planning to write down my setup for years now, maybe I’ll finally get around to it I knew I’m not interested in off the shelf solutions from the get go and when I tried #TrueNAS it was getting in the way too much for my liking. Eventually I went with vanilla #FreeBSD and later on migrated to #Proxmox.

H/W wise I’m rocking scrap parts I had lying around dating back to 2012 or so. The only stuff I invested some cash into was the case (Fractal Node 804)… 1/2

We've been hard at work the past few months!

1. Leaving the Westin datacenter in downtown Seattle and moving on from expensive co-location

2. Moving our gear to Fremont, California

3. Bringing on board a few new Advisory Board members, including @whil who has been an incredible help deploying our #Proxmox infrastructure, and @alexhaydock who has been instrumental in deploying our new #Ansible infra, new recursive #DNS resolution infra, and new #Tor exit relays in California! See: https://infosec.exchange/@alexhaydock/114687688286984967 with more updates to follow

4. Installing new co-location with some older low-power systems in Amsterdam for our self-hosted #ActivityPub infra @ https://disobey.net, where we just moved our #Mastodon profile to!

5. Deploying a new #XMTP node @ https://xmtp.disobey.net, and testing a new #DeltaChat relay!

6. Deploying some new #obfs4 private bridges for use in a country who's conducting heavy internet surveillance and censorship, blocking access to @torproject

and today is our birthday!!! we're 8 years old today ^_^ stay tuned for more updates to come!

Adding ("passing thru") the #Bluetooth radio to my #HomeAssistant VM in #Proxmox caused #powerUsage to increase by 1.0 Watts...

Most likely will disable it again, as I have no use for it anyway...

My #Proxmox server is doing this really funny thing where it disconnects from my network just randomly in a 48 hour period.

This is my test server so I shouldn't be too mad, but I got addicted to nvec encoded anime.

It might just be easier to get an A380 for my 1 slot low profile Optiplex prod server, but damn it I already have the 4060

Bonjour le Fédivers !

Further adventures in #NixOS on #proxmox. Now that I've got a VM straight off the hydra build site running in proxmox I'm setting it up to be a build server of my own using nixos-generators. Some hints for those doing similar thing... Resize the disk, then use fdisk to resize the partition, then resize2fs to fill the partition or you'll run out of disk.

Also I like systemd networkd for the networking but make sure you dont have conflicting configs.

So, you want to get a #NixOS system running on your #Proxmox server...

Go to http://hydra.nixos.org/project/nixos select the release you're interested in (probably release-25.05 currently) find the proxmox image... or just click here:

https://hydra.nixos.org/build/299185427/download/1/vzdump-qemu-nixos-25.05pre-git.vma.zst

Copy this image to /var/lib/pve/.../dump/

go in the GUI to backups and restore the image. Click the "unique" checkbox. Don't boot it yet. click cloud-init tab, Set the password and ssh key. rebuild the image. boot the VM
