    [IPv6] docker only ipv4

    I would start at 1. Check host itself has ipv6 etc.. sudo dmesg | grep -i ipv6 sudo lsmod | grep ipv6 and sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 and finally i run a macvlan and spin up a container attaching to it.. Simple if docker fails to create the macvlan you know its docker and not the...

    ESXi8 is now free again.. Really .. Bang and my last ESXi server has been decommisioned. Dropped off all my VMware books and materials at the recycler

    Wow!! .. The HP T740 thin client is a surprisingly capable little box, compact, efficient, and well-suited for homelab use despite its limited core count. To get the best performance out of it, the key is to minimize overhead and focus on lightweight workloads. Hypervisors, If you prefer...

    ESXi8 is now free again.. Really .. Bang and my last ESXi server has been decommisioned. Dropped off all my VMware books and materials at the recycler

    I really like Harvester HCI—it’s great! The BUT is that it was slower on my server compared with running Kubernetes k8s (not lK3s like you are using) on Proxmox with memory ballooning and native K8s. It’s definitely worth spinning up Prometheus and Grafana to measure performance, and also...

    You’re 100% correct in my view. The way I see it, they want to reduce the amount of code and product teams to support, so it looks like they’re starting to deprecate all the older distributed networking features and only allow NSX. Of course, we could be wrong . Why not take a fresh look at...

    NFS -> vmware latency data (please)

    This should be so much faster and the ZIL is not 100% over committed. On TrueNAS I assume (simple 101) you have atime off and no dedupe compression on..

    Proxmox and SSD?

    Does you UPS have a software controller or a way to send a command like curl / ssh etc ? I also have a UPS and i have a script that fires this off on the Proxmox server ; the UPS sends a ssh command this executes this script on my proxmox server; You could also use the PROXMOX API to also do...

    Proxmox and SSD?

    If you are worried about power i would use a super low power NAS -> to proxmox much lower power; these seem the most popular 2.5 GbE ready :) much cheaper than running a server + Delock. 4+ NVMe -Lots of my colleagues in Germany run these.. Aiffro K100...

    Proxmox and SSD?

    100% correct as you only have one machine (motherboard goes bang) data offline.. So the best setup in your case would be to use have two SSD and use raid 1 Two NVMe M.2 drives side by side. Mirrored setup: Data written to one drive is automatically duplicated to the other. Often, arrows or...

    Proxmox and SSD?

    There are three main options to consider: 1. Local RAID with NVMe - and placing data on each LUN - Storage unit for protection (old school enterprise / home use) - Used for server boot only in most large Data Centre but at home the card does boot and data storage local; Use a RAID controller...

    Complete Nube Looking For Guidance With Distros

    In my view, a strong mix of certifications and real-world experience in live production environments is essential. We once had a team member who held full certifications in Cisco, GCP, and AWS—but had never worked on a live production system. When it came to end-to-end fault finding—from...

    Is Microsoft running away from developing new features for on premise software. Microsoft has now 100% gone cloud first :(

    I totally agree with the statement "MS has been Azure/Entra/O365 first for a few years now." but if you look at the decline of features that never made it into the on prem product it clear to me that MS is 100% pushing a long term cloud only strategy. Its all about $$$ Recurring Revenue Model...

    Is Microsoft running away from developing new features for on premise software. Microsoft has now 100% gone cloud first :(

    I totally understand why IT teams would use SCCM at scale which is ensuring on premise products are more secure. I know of a company that had around 6K+ windows 10 clients. It was abandone because of the end user experiemce. The two main reason was; Challenging Patch Management Issue: Software...

    ESXi8 is now free again.. Really .. Bang and my last ESXi server has been decommisioned. Dropped off all my VMware books and materials at the recycler

    With harvester, I was checking out multithreaded workloads with htop and it does consume around 8% more cpu cycles, its a great product and very young in its development but very cool. Proxmox now seems to have addressed and fixed, passthrough and even has now got amazing memory ballon options...

    Great to hear your experience mirrors mine, Jason! I also ran Harvester and Proxmox side by side for a while—hosting K8s, Docker, and LXC containers. Recently, I migrated everything to Proxmox and, like you, rely on ProxBackup Server for backups. I’ve since switched off Harvester (it’s a cool...
