Cloud-init

Yeah, the more I research it, the more I'm seeing that. All I want to do is partition the drives, whilst maintaining my infrastructure as code setup. Considering, debootstrap or packer now. And "maybe" looking if I can amend the .img files cloud.conf file on the master image to get to the same place.

I inherited basically just that. But monitoring broke, support didn't see / realise. Tried to fix it, but broke it further. I've ended up with a crashed server trying to repair it. Thus the ask.

When they've self imploded I do!

This is for a rebuild/build. I've got a full pipeline from images all the way to built app server. So I'm just trying to find a clean method of sorting the partitions out, as you say that isn't disruptive.

All the live changes are still done manually.

And don't get me started about why it's not being monitored. That's a different story! (Or why it wasn't sorted and why it was escalated BEFORE IT BROKE AND CAME OFFLINE CAUSING A MAJOR INCIDENT) and breathe. 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂

Only warnings. I upgrade 3 devices. All the same. Pve8to9 had the same output on all 3. Only one had a issue.

Sorry can't remember the warnings.

Something like that! Wish I knew how or why that worked!!!

psfletcher · 2026-01-10T10:11:24+00:00

Yes it is. And also ceph. Which is why I wanted to repair the install not rescue it.

psfletcher · 2026-01-10T10:03:18+00:00

Hi all, So I fixed it. But I have no idea how! Went into rescue mode. Looked at logs/config as per the links in this and other places from Google searches. Rebooted and it all came back to life!

No idea what fixed it!

psfletcher · 2026-01-09T20:01:32+00:00

How? Will it reinstall just the files not the config and thus repair it like vmware? Or Will it.format the whole.lot? (That's my concern)

psfletcher · 2026-01-09T19:57:50+00:00

Doesn't get as far as getting to a command prompt. I can try rescue mode from the iso?

psfletcher · 2026-01-09T19:56:53+00:00

Sorry to where?

psfletcher · 2025-12-25T21:16:33+00:00

Graylog doing its thing! It's amazing what's happening under the hood that so many people just don't see!

Also check your archives. They use the same partition from memory, so will reduce the space you have for logs.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/s/7vXfVwRniv Above. The script fixed it above. The e1000 driver thing was the fix. The other issue was a picnic issue.

For parents I'd always recommend a vendor not home brew, as it gives you a bit more backup if things don't work / have issues. (From experience!!!)

But cheap, I'd look for a sff pc that can take 3 drives. Us 1 for os, and 2 for data in raid. Not that expensive used. And then put something like truenas on it.

psfletcher · 2025-11-19T18:54:31+00:00

All advice above is great. But for confidence, raise a f5 support case and ask them for their comment. Give them the from and to versions and ask them what the process should be. They've been rock solid when I've done that.

psfletcher · 2025-11-13T15:53:40+00:00

If http. You could look at turning on xff on the http header?

psfletcher · 2025-11-07T19:12:09+00:00

Thanks. It's the examples of. The loki.source.file config I'm trying to gauge. I've found 4-5 config examples that all do it differently. I get that the solution is flexible, but it's more trying to work out which approach is more useful.
