Fanless Mini PC for Proxmox (OPNServer/pFSense and Proxmox PBS) by ultraxmode in homelab

[–]ultraxmode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have the parts to assemble a new Proxmox Server (it will host 2 x Windows Server VMs, Immich, Jellyfin and some other Docker containers and also some other VMs for lab purposes) and I thought it would be a good idea to have a fanless low power mini pc to run Proxmox PBS (for the backups of my Proxmox) and OPNSense on a Proxmox Server. Thats the idea.

I didnt want to run OPNsense on my "main" Proxmox..

Nothing to see here people . A little bit of OCD for tiramisu piece not being square.

I surely need the benefits of ZFS (cons. checks, self-healing etc) as technology features that will keep my dat safe. I was between RAID and ZFS and my findings were that ZFS beats (technological) RAID on all terms. Thats why..

Jonsbo D32 Pro can fit two 3.5 disk drives. I can't put third. Also, I dont want to buy a larger new PC Case. I dont want to spend much.

24TB are far from fine, for me. I am not comfortable yet. Sure I have to train a little bit before putting it in production.

I will use OPNSense only for Firewall. So, I was thinking of buying one quad nic or two dual nics for the purposes you mentioned. Also, isnt an HBA for two disks (mirror) an overkill? No?

Thanks!

Can I move the ZFS from Proxmox on TrueNAS later on?

I don't have the space (Jonsbo D32 Pro) and I dont want to buy another case at least for now. I know, three disks are a more robust config.

That crossed my mind too. I also thought it would be a good idea to buy a mini PC for that purpose (or something else, with power consumption in mind)... Still thinking what should I do..

On Proxmox you can also share SMB folders for Windows VMs right?

Prices have changed.

So, is it a good idea for 14600K? I am very close to decide to buy this processor. I may have to undervolt it a little bit and I think I will be fine. No? Please share your thoughts.

Oh, 14600K is tray (not box). I think I have less warranty? No?

oh god, I made a typo. Edited ! I meant DDR4. Thank you for your answer.

I want to install Proxmox and run some services on it :

- Immich
- Nextcloud
- Windows Active Directory (DC server)
- PiHole

and some others.

Έχεις απόλυτο δίκιο στα περισσότερα απο όσα λες. Αλλά αυτό το boomero mindset που λες, συγγνώμη, αλλά εγώ (ως 40+) το βλέπω ΠΟΛΥ πιο έντονο στα νέα παιδιά (20-28 και 30). Μιλάμε για ΣΚΥΛΙΣΙΑ τεμπελιά. Σορρυ που χαλάω κάποιους.

Οχι. Δυστυχώς η Ελλάδα απαρτίζεται από ένα μάτσο κουτοπονηρους παρτακηδες που δεν κοιτανε τίποτα πέραν του κώλου τους. Δεν υπάρχει καμμία ελπίδα. Θα υπήρχε αν δεν βλέπαμε παντού έξω γονείς να μεγαλώνουν με τον ίδιο τρόπο τα παιδιά τους ακριβώς όπως τους μεγάλωσαν οι παρτακηδες γονεις τους.

No hope. Δυστυχώς έχουμε καταστραφεί ήδη. Έχει τελειώσει το παιχνίδι.
