What do you all think of them using Proxmox as the base virtualization platform? I have no experience with it but it does look appealing. Thoughts?

It is nice looking kit but I've never touched one. Don't know of anyone who has them deployed.

I plan on setting this up in the lab soon. dm-cache also sounds interesting. I've never touched software RAID because 95% of my environment has been MS for a long time. Always have gone the hw raid route.

I have some small SSDs that are not big enough to store VMs but would run a host machine very efficiently. I realize you want the performance where the workload is. Lets forget about the SSD for a minute.... Is software RAID in Linux acceptable to use? I always use hardware RAID controllers in servers but wanted to venture into trying software RAID.

For those new to KVM: What is the general consensus on having a Fedora-based KVM host that boots and runs from a SSD but uses a software RAID on spinning rust for the VM storage?

I do not have the specifics yet. Just had a call last night asking about if is possible to do so.

They do trust the site and were given a list of IPs to allow traffic thru the FW. It is Microsoft AD.

I have a friend who wants to expose their AD/LDAP to the internet (behind a FW) to allow single sign-on. Looking for some opinions on this. It will be to authenticate the users on an external website. Thoughts?

I tried a cloud key for non-home use and it was miserable. I had constant issues with it. Running the controller now in a VM under Hyper-V and have had zero problems. Very fast and easy. I do not recommend the cloud key. They are too under-powered IMO. Why not just install the controller on one of their local machines?

@jaredbusch I did not change anything in the registration settings. I'll check it out and report back. This makes sense now why it did not re-register.

@jaredbusch I did't look at the logs. Just did a restart and calls started flowing.

@dashrender That's what I really meant... Seems like it should re-connect as soon as service is restored. Luckily it does not happen often.

Does anyone have a trick to make FreePBX re-register the voip.ms SIP trunks after an internet outage restores? A cut fiber caused an outage for a few hours yesterday eve. When it was restored, I had to manually get them to register by re-booting the system. I probably could have just disabled and then enabled the trunks for the same result. Seems like it should do this "automagically"....

About 20 HP Laserjet and 1 Kyocera MFC here.

@black3dynamite I already have a habit of un-checking "Secure Boot" after I create the VM.

I believe he is trying to set up a new host server to run KVM.... Just guessing.

@jaredbusch I did the Net Install and minimal for the Fedora install and then added the virtualization packages.

@dafyre I may load it this evening on the server and give it a go. I plan on starting with a fresh net install of Fedora 28 Server. I have time to "mess" with it and then move the server to the colo.

@travisdh1 I have time to learn it and test before I put it in production. I know from research that KVM is a great solution but I have not tried it yet.
Edit: Also, I would probably find a cheap laptop for Fedora 28 and virt-manager as well. I have the new server to be used as the host machine.

I've been using Hyper-V server for many years and need to set up a new Nextcloud instance on Fedora Server and I do not care to use VMWare. I have multiple instances of FS running in Hyper-V 2012/2016 with zero issues. This will be a new host so I was thinking about trying Fedora as the hypervisor for a Fedora VM as well as a Nginx reverse proxy. Does this seem logical or should I just stick with HV2016? I would be learning KVM as I go.
