Reading ML threads about personal file storage.

Starting fresh with my server running KVM. Reading about how to configure a network bridge.
Edit: Bah, should've read the link before posting. Was looking for how to do this using CLI rather than the GUI.
-
Heading to sleep.
In the Hyper-V world the procedure is pretty straight forward for making an external virtual switch which uses one of your NICs to pass traffic from your VMs to the rest of the network. Hopefully after some sleep I’ll have an aha moment for doing this with KVM.

The new way is using macvtap (bridge). If you wanted to have the host and guest to communicate, you setup an isolated network using libvirt.
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide/App_Macvtap.htmlHere's how to setup a network bridge using iproute2 and brctl.

When I setup my KVM system, I did nothing. When you make the VM, you just choose bridged -> macvtap and it works. The host cannot talk back, but that doesn't really matter.
I guess you can go to the bother to setup a full bridge and all, then just choose that network when making the VM.
Dunno what is best practice. I guess I should learn that part.

Waiting for a co-worker to get to the DC to replace the cache battery in the host that runs our RMM. I have to monitor coming up remotely.

Worked like a charm. At some point, I do intend to make a DNS server for my home lab, so I'll need to figure out how to get traffic flowing between that particular VM and my host.

I finally had a YouTube ad that was actually targeted at me yesterday. An ad for AeroMexico. Today, it is back to not knowing who I am at all.
