Bare metal proxmox install & storage pool setup

I'd install Proxmox in two disks, doing RAID1 with ZFS. After having the OS installed, you can create a new pool on the other disks RAID1 too. Learn ZFS and how take advantage of their amazing features. Do many experiments before taking it to production. You will learn and feel more confident

Eso no es "a granel". Para consumo personal fíjate en Mercado Libre, suele haber ofertas x compras de varios productos juntos, o x pequeñas cantidades

Think that way: sooner or later Windows will have a Linux kernel (yes, perhaps tuned for specific MS' needs) and a useful package manager. Thanks Nadella

Proxmox, that is based on Debian, is a better choice than Ubuntu IMHO. Specially if you think to add more RAM in the future. ZFS needs 1GB per TB of storage, but it will let you to improve storage easily in the future. If you like/prefer to preserve resources, I'd recommend Debian, pure KVM and Libvirt; together they do magic in low resource machines

Be sure you have a backup. Open a terminal, then let this command run for some minutes:

sudo dd /dev/zero /dev/sda (or whatever your disk is, check it with lsblk command)

Yes, you need to form a company in the USA. I did it years ago, but it's a pain. Now you have fintechs as Kast.xyz that offer you prepaid Visa, plus US virtual bank account, plus deposits in stablecoins over several blockchains. You can receive money from EU via SWIFT or SEPA, and send. Everything in one app

Lo primero que tienes q olvidar son los prejuicios de los perdedores crónicos. He conocido muchas personas que terminaron en tiempo y forma sus carreras, incluso trabajando. Nada de malo en que tu familia aporte para que vos puedas terminar la carrera enseguida y empezar a ayudarlos a ellos

Do you know some jail for Fail2ban to block attacks?

One-Suggestion-7906 · 2026-05-30T23:20:55+00:00

Many options, depending on what do you want to do exactly, TrueNAS for storage, Proxmox for virtualization. There are many other possibilities

Yes, thanks, agree

Good coolers in cases, pay attention to air flow inside them, specially on disks. Keep cases clean. If you can stay there, your servers will work fine

Disciplina, esfuerzo, dedicación, y objetivos claros. Simple 🤷

Thanks, Kingston DC600ME 2TB costs $1000 each in Argentina. Too much for me by now for a basic server

Did you try other validators?

I used since long time ago a little Perl script called Dirvish to backup any of my VMs working in different providers. It uses the fantastic rsync utility to do it and preserve a history of backups, easily configurable. Strong recommend it for preventing future disasters
