I wrote something for myself, and figured it might be useful for others: a small service that automatically discovers LXCs and VMs in a Proxmox cluster and acts as a DNS server pointing to the IP(s) for them. It's called, somewhat unimaginatively... proxmox-service-discovery:
https://github.com/andrew-d/proxmox-service-discovery

As a short example: if you have a Proxmox cluster running lxc1, lxc2, and vm3, and you run proxmox-service-discovery with the "--dns-zone=example.com" option, then it will run a DNS server that answers queries for lxc1.example.com with all the IP addresses for lxc1, and so on for lxc2 and vm3.

It's pretty basic but well-tested, and seems to work well for my use-case. Feedback appreciated, along with bug reports, PRs, and so on!

Hallo und guten Abend zusammen!

Für unser Projekt #mapleHome haben wir uns kürzlich einen neuen #homeserver gegönnt und bereiten und den Umzug unseres #Smarthome und einiger Apps/Tools vor. Bislang läuft unser #HomeAssistant OS auf einem Raspberry Pi 4 - soweit so gut.
Was mich persönlich immer nicht ganz so glücklich macht ist, dass die erforderlichen Add-ons und Zusatzdienste eben zu 100% vom gleichen System abhängen. So ist ja z.B. zigbee2mqtt ebenfalls "offline", wenn ein Update mit Neustart durchgeführt wird ...

Meine Idee:
Ich möchte zusätzliche Server/Dienste wie #zigbee2mqtt, den #MQTT Broker, Datenbanken, ... ein eigene VMs/Container auslagern. Dazu läuft #proxmox auf dem Server, für Home Assistant wird es eine VM geben und eben auch eine VM für #Docker.

Habt ihr es auch so oder so ähnlich umgesetzt? Bin ich gedanklich auf dem Holzweg? Oder würdet ihr noch weiter gehen?

Danke schonmal und allen einen schönen Sonntagabend!

Finally got around to migrating my home server to #Proxmox, and chucking my docker containers in a VM while migrating to running everything in #Kubernetes.

...only to be reminded that the idiot who built my home server (me) only bothered getting 16GB of RAM. Doesn't really stop any of my plans, but feels a bit silly to have a Proxmox machine so limited by RAM.

My #Helm chart for a complete home media/streaming stack, Flex has been updated to version 0.2.0

Previously, it supports #Plex as the streaming service, #Bazarr for automated subtitle downloads, #Flaresolverr for bypassing web protections/challenges, #Jackett as proxy server for #torrent trackers, #Overseerr as an interface for requesting media, #qBittorrent as the torrent client, #Radarr for downloading/managing movies, and #Sonarr for downloading/managing TV shows.

Now, to reduce reliance on Plex and lean towards a completely #FOSS stack, I've added in support for #Jellyfin as a drop-in replacement for Plex, #JellyPlex-Watched for syncing watch states between Jellyfin/Plex servers, and #Jellyseerr as a drop-in replacement for Overseerr, which not only works with Plex but also Jellyfin.

I've been using this for over a year at this point and it works perfectly. For me personally, I have everything supported deployed using this on my #Kubernetes cluster except for Jellyfin, Plex, and qBittorrent, which I've deployed as individual VMs instead on #Proxmox cos I find it less resource/bandwidth taxing on my cluster that way - this shouldn't be an issue if your cluster is a lot beefier. During non-peak loads, the (Flex) stack uses up a total of only ~0.19 CPU core and ~1.6GB memory.

Time for #PatchSaturday.
#ProxMox and a lot of #Docker containers.
Gonna be a fun night.

Immer noch kein vernünftiges #tut gefunden, das mir erklärt, wie ich auf dem #Proxmox #Server eine der VM über die öffentliche IP des Servers erreichbar machen kann.

Linux 6.14 Kernel Now Available For Proxmox VE 8 (And Proxmox Backup Server, Mail Gateway) #Proxmox #ProxmoxVE #ProxmoxBackupServer #ProxmoxMailGateway #Linuxkernel #Linux #Releases #Opensource

Tiens, Boradcom/#vmware change sa tarification : facturation de 72 cœurs minimum par cluster. ça tombe bien, on avait déjà décidé de migrer cette année toute notre infra sous #proxmox. Nous allons bien sûr prendre du support pour participer à la vie du projet.

des connaisseurs en #proxmox et #ntp ici ?
mon serveur proxmox n'est pas à l'heure

Soon I'll upgrade the server hosting #Tutter and my other services!
Hopefully this will speed up things

@altbot

Intento a smussare gli angoli di questa istanza #MaStoMondo fino a renderla perfetta. Che poi perfetta è un parolone nel mondo del #selfhosting. Al momento gira su una LXC #proxmox sull'home server che mi aiuta a rimediare via backup i danni irreversibili causati risolvendo altri problemi..

Prossima task: risolvere problema immagini dei miei post rotte o blurrate.

E pensare che 3 backup fa c'ero riuscito.

I am testing out some tech I want to learn more about :-)

I have used #Terraform to create some VMs in my #Proxmox server, then with #kubespray installed a kubernetes cluster on them.

Next I'll install #rook / #ceph so I have some storage, and last but not least I will install #CloudNativePG @CloudNativePG@mastodon.social on it.

If that all works, I'll repeat that in another datacenter to test cloudnativepg replica clusters.

Combining hobby and work..

Et si on envisageait un auto-hébergement à plus grande échelle (pour des mini-cloud perso) reproductible simplement et à volonté sur nos parcs de machines ?

D'après ce qu'on me dit, bcp de ChatonsOrg utilisent déjà YunoHost et Proxmox.

Ideas that you get when walking off to blow out steam: I'll just build a VM inside Proxmox, and try to replicate all the services from one of my Raspberry Pi. If it works, I'll put it in production.
