    • RE: Reconsidering ProxMox

      I have been using Proxmox for many years now in my home environment and it has been nothing but rock solid.
      Use ZFS block devices for all guests and a specific pool as file storage which all guests access over NFS.

      It´s rich in features and easy to work with. Configs are also easy to find and access in case of any issue.

      Only reason I don´t use it in our corporate environment is the backup features. The limitation of only full backups makes offsite copying problematic with large VMs.

      ZFS can solve this problem by sending and receiving snapshots but you need to script it your self or use an external library. I use this method to backup my NFS pool but its not robust enough for VMs.

      Other pros,
      Guest firewall

      Cons,
      Subscription nag screen
      Guest console can be a little dodgy sometimes

      Note I´m using version 4.4 so some of my issues might have been resolved in newer versions.

    • RE: I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours, Home Labs

      Bit boring but it's my lab and a backup server.
      From the left,

      Ubuntu Veeam repository (office backup server)
      Proxmox (KVM Hypervisor), Supermicro mb and E3-1230v2 cpu, 16gb ram
      FreeBSD 10, Intel mb and E3-1230v2 cpu, 8gb ram, main storage and Plex Jail
      Cases are Fractal Design except for the dell box.

      Hope to rebuild everything in the future so its rack mounted and with proper hotswap cases.
