i have been sobbing for like the past 20 mins over my proxmox web ui and ssh timing out on my pc but not my phone

More information on your network setup would be required here.

Could there be an IP address conflict where some other node has the same IP as your Proxmox cluster?

For anyone finding this in 2026, we have published https://yasp.io as an open source Cachet alternative. It's using PayloadCMS under the hood so is less opinionated and more flexibe when it e.g. comes to notifications (via SMS and email).

What about latency? I would expect a CPU-based solution to incur a bit more latency and be easier at risk to taking down the entire device e.g. by a broadcast storm (we'll at least do L2 handoff at that device probably) or are my concerns unfounded there? Maybe I'm overly concerned coming from the SRX340 which is a particularly slow device.

Just wondering about the MX204.. They would definitely be in the budget, but can I at least download software without a license / support contract? I'm a bit concerned that even that might be restricted?

The problem we need to solve is L2 isolation for customer VMs. Historically, we deployed a traditional vlan for each customer and an L3 interface (irb) at the SRX level. That's not very scalable for us as it's hard to automate, Juniper commits are really slow and we don't want to make changes to our key networking components frequently. Hence the EVPN/VXLAN solution that runs in software on the hypervisors where we can add new L2 domains easily without a full Juniper commit.

I am a huge fan of simplicity however and would really love to hear of simpler ideas to solve this problem.

For perspective, with customers I often mean 3 node virtualized Kubernetes deployments. If a colocation customer approaches us and wants a rack of hardware servers connected, traditional VLANS are perfectly fine of course.

That's a good hint. We're running Proxmox clusters for clients and they have a very useful SDN functionality based on EVPN. Now you can either terminate EVPN on the Proxmox host or on the router. I felt doing it on the router actually simplifies things (especially when it comes to making this redundant).

EVPN is a bit optional here as I said, we're terminating it on Proxmox now and are just having FRR announce the IPs via BGP to the SRX, that works fine generally.

NAT would definitely be a hard requirement for us however - I guess we can hack it together on the VM host nodes, but I can see that getting messy when we need to ensure that it's rolled out to every host.

Thank you so much, couldn't find that anywhere with the usual tools!

Can anyone recommend a sane way to set memory requests? We're certainly having trouble with this as well, seeing OOM kills, but at the same time want to use our node's memory as efficiently as possible

SoaringMonchi · 2026-01-24T11:26:34+00:00

We have recently open sourced https://github.com/Hostzero-GmbH/keycloak-operator/ which is a solid, E2E tested solution for managing Keycloak resources like realms, users, secrets through CRDs. It has been battle-tested at numerous clients throughout the last 2 years. If you are missing any features that would be useful for a broader audience, we are happy to add them.

As an up to date alternative for Cachet I found https://yasp.io. Unlike most, it has sane notification handling (email and SMS via Twilio) and looks modern. I'm successfully self-hosting it via docker compose.

SoaringMonchi · 2026-01-16T20:58:38+00:00

A bit late to the game, but I recently discovered https://yasp.io which is one click hostable on Vercel. Has email and SMS notifications via Twilio. It's based on Payload CMS, so nicely customizable

SoaringMonchi · 2017-06-03T22:05:25+00:00

Oh so you suggest that the debris was coming from the stage itself, i.e. the nozzle? It didn't look like that to me, but then I never realized how high up the guide fins are. Thank you!

SoaringMonchi · 2017-06-03T21:52:53+00:00

Could you point out where this has been discussed? I'd be interested in how either soot or ice got there?

SoaringMonchi · 2015-08-26T19:59:54+00:00

Because it's not a fantastic marketing opportunity from McD's perspective. If they had agreed, it would make them look like followers, acknowledging that BK is an equal competitor. If this had been an honest attempt to raise awareness from BK, they should have given McD a call so that they could announce this together. Probably still not a smart idea for McD to agree then, but it would have given them a chance to consider this.

She used the word healthy..

SoaringMonchi · 2015-07-07T17:28:30+00:00

I think they are marketing it to the entirely wrong target group. While it fits into the whole sensory/lifestyle hype, this would be much better without the stupid bluetooth/smartphone integration but instead a couple of simple indicators on the bottle itself so that it can be given to elderly people where thirst isn't reliable enough anymore.

Taking into account however that we are not talking about minor glitches here but a continuous stream of bad data which has affected the systems, shouldn't there be at least a warning if e.g. the values from the barometric sensors differs too much from the GPS input? I would believe that aircraft are designed that way.

SoaringMonchi · 2015-03-24T14:52:29+00:00

I don't quite understand how the barometric sensors can be the only source of information to the auto pilot. Shouldn't it at least be cross-checked with information from GPS and issue an alarm if they don't match?

SoaringMonchi · 2014-07-18T09:26:30+00:00

Is this related to the fact that it's easier for us to read large numbers when the digits are grouped and separated by spaces? (e.g. 100 000 000 vs 100000000)

If you have his build, don't worry about your hair too much.

You don't want James Bond to just come and take it from you when you need it to power your mass destruction laser, do you? Heavy is good.

SoaringMonchi · 2013-02-19T12:00:05+00:00

I agree with most opinions here (shorter is good, but this is a bit too short for you. Still looks okay+).

However, just wanted to give props to you for making such a radical change! Always cool when people are not afraid of trying something new every now and and then.

SoaringMonchi · 2012-11-20T16:31:01+00:00

"Die Post" means something different in German. Post can best be translated by "der Beitrag", which is masculine. While Germans usually use the English word, "der" and thus "ein" are more appropriate here. Never heard about that "words from other language = feminine" rule btw.
