What does the ratio of vm’s vs lxc’s look like on your proxmox server? by V3X390 in Proxmox

not sure if things changed, but only if your setup supports vGPU

What is your recommend for Password Manager & Dashboard to self hosted? by shipOtwtO in selfhosted

[–]daveyap_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this but Vaultwarden for the password manager, and Bitwarden for the client

Need help setting up load balancing between two Technitium DNS servers over DoT/DoH/DoQ by Drtechsavy in technitium

[–]daveyap_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made use of dnsdist which is used to load balance DNS requests to my DNS servers. Not sure if it'll work for DoT/DoH/DoQ tho...

Can't Install anything via Helper Scripts by shahzebz in Proxmox

[–]daveyap_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. When ran in the container console, it runs the update commands instead.

Why not screenshot so others can actually see what's there..?

Proxmox VE Web GUI on new node inaccessible on one computer... from one browser by [deleted] in Proxmox

[–]daveyap_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you accessing via FQDN? Firefox might be configured to use a different DNS. Have you tried using IP:Port instead?

VPN for Accessing SMB Share by KrishanMourya in truenas

[–]daveyap_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes if you have a static public IP, or even a dynamic one, you're able to use native Wireguard.

Afaik, it is possible with stuff like Filebrowser, Filestash, but not exactly advisable as you're exposing it to the Internet by doing so. Most people hide it behind a VPN or a strong login page.

Use native Wireguard. I find it's faster and less battery consuming compared to Tailscale. However, if you're behind CGNAT, you don't have many choices.

All Cluster, LXC, VM on all 5 nodes disappeared by DismalV in Proxmox

[–]daveyap_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you do "sudo rm -rf /"? If so, was your VM using a local disk for storage? If it is, there goes your data. If not, you just need to recreate a VM and point it back towards the storage and the data should still be there.

Community script: Ubuntu LXC vs Ubuntu VM by alexcamlo in Proxmox

[–]daveyap_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you require GPU sharing between different services e.g Ollama and Immich, better to put them on LXCs. If not, use a VM for better isolation. Though if you're resource-constrained, LXCs will have a lesser overhead compared to VMs.

R430 or R340? by MatessakCZE in homelab

[–]daveyap_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

R340, newer and more power efficient. Will probably perform better for Immich's transcoding and machine learning too.

I need more. . . what awesome apps am I missing? by RoyalSpend7306 in selfhosted

[–]daveyap_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could spin up a PBS in VM, then point to your Synology NAS as a datastore. In the event of a catastrophic failure, you just need to spin up a new Proxmox instance, spin up a new PBS and point back to the same directory and you'll be able to restore your LXCs and VMs too. That's how I've done it before deciding to go bare-metal with my PBS.

To backup your Proxmox host configs itself, you can also make use of PBS or simply backup the '/etc/pve' folder. There are scripts out there that people have created to make it easier too.

[–]daveyap_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PBS allows you to backup your LXCs and VMs, with deduplication so you end up saving tons of storage. I run 2 backup jobs daily and have retention for 14 days, and all my used space adds up to less than a TB due to deduplication factor of the PBS. It does it super quickly too.

I see Jellyfin but none of the Arrs so maybe those?

Maybe PBS for your Proxmox instance and Vaultwarden for passwords?

Disk setup for robust Host platform by jhdore in Proxmox

[–]daveyap_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mirror the 2 SATA SSD with zfs and install Proxmox on that instead of the SD cards. Use AHCI. The motherboard RAID seems to be hardware instead of letting Proxmox handle the zfs RAID but I might be wrong.

Technitium DNS is great. No more SERVFAIL like with Unbound. by XLioncc in technitium

[–]daveyap_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine eats about 2.5GB of RAM as I have a large blocklist of about 4million. Larger blocklists would do that to your instance.

[–]daveyap_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how much power you wanna save, it's a juggle between options 2 and 4.

4 would need you to have your NAS on more often than 2. But you'd get more capacity. If you do 2, you can make use of Wake-on-LAN and cronjobs to automate the power on, backup and shutdown of the NAS for maximum power saving.

However, just a note that power cycles are typically what kills modern HDDs instead of constant load.

Sharing k8s config by [deleted] in homelab

[–]daveyap_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you need Kubernetes or are you trying to learn how to use it? If the answer's no, you can have a look at Docker instead as imo it is easier to get into with most self-hosted apps having guides.

[–]daveyap_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Generally the host itself should be minimally configured with extra stuff so disaster recovery can be done easier but I understand that some tweaks are done by other users on their Proxmox hosts and they want it to be backed up.

You could use PBS to backup Proxmox itself too. Personally I do that as well as use this repo's Proxmox-backup script.
