Hi, I have a Minisforum UM773 lite with proxmox running. This is a test setup but I look for a replacement / ideas. The idea was to replace the UM773 lite with 3 Minisforum MS-01 what I told in the ECC non ECC memory thread. I like to build an energy efficient Proxmox cluster. I also looking...

Thanks for the heads up!

I've decided to go the Minisforum MS-01 route and not to build myself a system. The MS-01 has no ECC memory if I'm correct but I like the idea of a small barebone system. Thank you all for your input. :)

Thank you for the explanation! Much appreciated. It is just a homelab. I like to host a couple of vm's on a Promox cluster with Ceph. Some storage for personal data and a movie. I'm making plans for a new homelab now.

Has ECC memory any value on a Proxmox Ceph cluster or is non ECC good enough for an homelab?

I'm also interested in the MS-01. Has anyone running it with Proxmox and Ceph?

Of course I'm considering my options, and still learning every day. What if I use shared storage with Proxmox and create an high availability cluster? I can create a ZFS pool of 2,5 SSD drives. :) If I go this route then an 1Tb NVME is enough in my Proxmox hypevisor. Samsung 980 Pro (zonder...

You can choose between TLC, and QLC. I read that TLC is more durable as QLC. It is also faster. I think with I/O of VM's and the durability maybe better to choose for TLC? Although they are more expensive. Samsung 980 Pro (met heatsink) 2TB kopen? - Prijzen - Tweakers

Thank you for the reply! With enterprise level NVME do you think of Intel, Samsung?

Hi, I'm consider the next build to host my Proxmox hypevisor. I now have an Xeon E5-2699v3. It's old and power hungry. AMD Ryzen 9 7900 Boxed ASRock Rack B650D4U Inter-Tech IPC 2U-2098-SL Kingston ValueRAM KVR48U40BD8-32 Corsair MP600 PRO 1TB Corsair MP600 PRO 2TB Maybe I build a...

About speaking of electric bills that is why I also looking into mini/micro pc/servers. I'm a member of these forums for awhile but been never very active. I think I''ll remember the topic poster from the WHS (Windows home server) time. Is that correct?

Thank you for sharing. I now have 2 unRAID servers running, but for file management I want to buy a Synology NAS. For my other services I'm leaning to micro.mini pc's. I'll like to have a Proxmox cluster for the experimenting, and also running some Flux nodes etc. Second I like to have a Plex...

Cool! I'll have a look on eBay only not sure if it is interesting for European citizen?

Hi, I'm thinking of moving from rack servers to mini pc's. I want to run Proxmox with a few vm's for nodes, and also some docker vm's. Also I want a separate mini pc for Plex service. I guess these mini pc's are way more power efficient as my rack servers. Electric became expensive here in...

I'm now running unRAID with containers but I'm very interested how ESXi this does...

Thanks TuxDude for clarifying I misunderstood this. This confirms that I have very little knowledge of ESXi... Is it possible with VMware Fusion (Mac user) to play a bit with ESXi? I know its possible with VMware workstation.

Namecheap user too!

Hi Robert thank you for your explanation/comment! Yeah indeed I read on Tweakers that there is option for a VMUG license. Good to know if you choose the ESXi route. One of the things I dislike about ESXi is that you need a VM with vSphere for licensing. Licensing okay but why using a VM? If...

Hi, I'm starting a new project I want to build a home lab where I want to virtualize most stuff. Probably I'm going to buy new hardware and use the Xeon D platform. Also I want to upgrade my network. I'm considering Ubiquiti network gear. I already have UAP AC Pro and it does it's job okay...
