We will use a small form factor PC with an i5 6500T CPU as a tiny home server. For virtualization and Containerization we will install Proxmox on the server. We will migrate a Virtual Machine from Oracle Virtualbox to Proxmox and install a VM and a Container.
I am using a Dell OptiPlex 3040 USFF Micro PC i5-6500T but similar PCs (roughly the same price point) would be the Lenovo Thinkcentre M910q Tiny or the HP EliteDesk 800G2 USFF

Very nice video. I like your presentation style. I have been a big fan of low energy use computing for many years. I currently use a Intel NUC i7 as my main home server with Proxmox after moving off a retired corporate Dell Latitude laptop. A laptop is typically a good low energy use server candidate as it's entire design is built around power efficiency. When the software is free and open source your main costs shift to hardware and electrical use. I am very pleased to see your emphasis on practicality and low energy computing.

I've been using Proxmox on an Intel NUC (i5-4250U with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD) for a number of years. It's getting a bit slow and old, so I've recently added a Lenovo m720Q with an i5 9400T, 32GB RAM and 2 x 512GB SSD's. Both of them are now in a proxmox cluster (although you don't really need the cluster, I would in fact recommend against it for homelab / experimentation usage). I'm running a few test VM's, and mostly build and deploy Kubernetes clusters. A Vm server with Proxmox allows me to quickly spin up a kubernetes distribution to keep testing them. Mostly K3s and (recently) K0s. Some really good things I can recommend beginners: - Figure out how to setup cloud-init. It makes it so you can spin up multiple machines in mere seconds and saves a lot of storage with linked clones. - Get as much RAM in your hypervisor as reasonably possible. It's nearly impossible to find and add a matching memory module after a year. You can never really have enough ram, but CPU power is not important and storage is easily added.

I think my favorite thing to do with proxmox VMs is to give them a virtual serial port, and then configure grub2 and the linux kernel to use the virtual serial connection. It provides a much better terminal experience than noVNC can provide, and you don't significantly lose functionality (unless, of course, you want to run graphical applications, in which case you'll have to switch back over -- which you can do at runtime, and keep the terminal open, if you don't disable the graphics entirely). Probably reduces the bandwidth required between the proxmox management interface and your local machine, as well. You could always SSH in; unless, of course, the VM you're connecting to is isolated from your network :P Also, you can access the container templates in the menu, from your local-lvm storage (or, presumably, any storage you have set to store container templates!).

Nice Job on presenting Proxmox. My Home setup: Base OS openSUSE Leap. Virt-manager with KVM. ZFS for VM storage, snapshot, replication. My Desktop PC was disk-less and booting Windows via iPXE so that I could snapshot and quickly recover if Windows got corrupted or got a virus. It was also very easy then to just Boot that same Windows in a VM. My servers are headless and I mostly use SSH for remote management, including running GUI tools remotely. Today I mostly run Linux on everything and only use Windows for applications that only work with Windows. Proxmox is a nice, complete solution to running Virtualization all from the Web and for most people it would be the best way to go. Again, I thought your introduction and walk through was very good. Thank you!

I love Proxmox! I tried others but found Proxmox the easier solution to get my head around. I have 2 bare metal servers (one is actually a crappy old laptop). On one server I have six domains, each within its own LXC and all running Wordpress, MySQL, Apache etc. with no issues. The second box also has Proxmox with three LXC's, 1 Mail Server, 1 Authoritative DNS for the domains, 1 caching DNS for internal network. The third machine is a dedicated Nginx Reverse Proxy for caching all the domains and distributing traffic to other devices. All the cached data is in RAM so it's super fast.

Nice. For small scale home-labs, the tiny form factor PCs are great. (Lenovo was first to market with the M72e and M92p) I have a larger requirement. 14 VMs total. My host server is a Dell Poweredge R620 server, pair of 10 core Xeons, 192GB of memory and it has four 900gb 10K SAS disks. I run ESXI and with all 14 VMs running, total processor load on the server is right around 10% average. Best part, the R620 very quiet.. like desktop PC quiet, and it is only using about 140W. That's 10 W per VM. Incredible efficiency.
@OneMarcFifty
@OneMarcFifty 3 жыл бұрын
You are spot on! One of the main decisive factors for sizing is definitely the number of VMs. The charm of Proxmox is that you can run stuff in lightweight containers, but if you have heavy Windows Workloads then you need more juice. The key is to pick the right size - and there is a bunch to chose from from the Raspberry Pi to the Xeons / Ryzens / Epycs. Many thanks for your comment.

13:00 I'm actually using Proxmox as well. I have 3 k3os VMs running that run my kubernetes cluster. All my older docker containers run in an Ubuntu lxc container via nesting (and keyctl). Another lxc container runs my FreeIPA server (also with nesting turned on) and another one does all the smb shares. My storage is being provided by a BTRFS RAID10 and pass through to the lxc containers with bind mounts. Due to the fact that need storage for my k3s cluster, I'm running a NFS server on the hypervisor as well (I know and I'm not proud of it, but I sadly haven't found a way to get it working within a container) I love Proxmox but I might switch horses when TrueNAS scale RC arrives. Having tried it in a VM I can say that I'm pretty impressed so far! But then I'll have to migrate to zfs oh damn...

I was bought to VMWare a little bit and found out hard way that after upgrade to VMWare Workstation Pro 16 I'm no longer able to auto-start VMs with Workstation start, sharing VMs deprecated .. still need to re-connect USB dongle every time ... so I decided that it's enough. Learning around Proxmox (candidate #1) and UnRaid (candidate #2) to virtualize. Also comparing some HW options from 1litr MiniITX units stacked, through QNAP VM capabilities, my own custom built MiniITX based on some gaming class motherboard, up to used Dell PowerEdge R720/R730 servers with older Xeon in low-power versions. Do not want electricity bills to eat me alive, while still would like to run those MVs 24x7 (at least virtualized NAS). Therefore your video was pretty helpful. Thank you very much.

Hi Dave, many thanks for your feedback! Yes, UnRaid is - like Proxmox, FreeNas, OMV, Virtualbox etc. one of the many solutions that can be used for home lab servers. I think they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

You asked - hence - I use VB to run LMDE - and VB back to Win7. I am forcing myself to learn linux - and not rely on W7, as I have for years. I recently was pointed to proxmox -and after 10 installs I keep using it to explore was I want for network backup - and NAS for my sweetheart. Many devices - but only one critical. The study/experiment/test lab is to learn the best practice. Well maybe just for me. Cheers!

Thank you for this video. You asked for details of how people are using hypervisors. Here's some random recollections.... I started with a bunch of services (mail, home automation, pbx, wordpress websites, file sharing) in docker-compose stacks running on Ubuntu bare metal. This was running on zfs root & boot and I had my own incremental backup to a backup server also running Ubuntu. My first experiment was with xcp-ng. I managed to get my services running on docker/docker-compose in a debian VM under xcp-ng, and started unpacking some of the "Byzantinely un-docker-ish" stacks to separate VMs. I gave up with xcp-ng because it really doesn't understand zfs well enough, and I really value what zfs can do for me, in terms of snapshotting and rolling back both data & OS. There were a bunch of other reasons, which I forget. I also didn't like the way xcp-ng handled errors with its nfs mounted filesystems (got xcp-ng hangs). Then I moved to TrueNas Scale bare metal, hosting the same bunch of VMs. TrueNas scale handles data protection really well. But it is awkward to pass hardware through to VM's. So I ended up with Proxmox. I have a second server which wakes for a few hours in the night. Proxmox does backups and replication to the second server. TrueNas runs in a VM providing file sharing. My other VMs run fine. I replaced my docker-compose owncloud stack running in a VM with a Turnkey owncloud container, and it works well. I can now migrate VMs and containers easily. Migrating my data is another question. Although I have the same data on the two servers, I have different hardware. My TrueNas instance on my main server has a fast (2x1TB nvme pci passthrough) and a slow pool running on 4x8TB hdd. My backup instance does not (single 8TB hdd). NFS shares embed their mountpoint, and TrueNas scale insists that the pool name is included in the mountpoint. So I have to go and edit my client machines whenever I switch between the main and standby instance of TrueNas. My wish list in the above: 1. proxmox supports docker-compose stacks and networking 2 TrueNas scal allows nfs exported mountpoint that do not include a pool name

Docker-compose repeatedly crashed out with diagnostics that made little sense to me, so I can't remember them. Exact same sequence runs OK in a VM. So I gave up on the extra performance and found something else to break.

Nice explanation and demonstration of proxmox. To be honest, I was also tinkering with proxmox for a little while, it seemed nice to run a scalable infrastructure to push and run my VM's on the fly. Unfortunately I've noticed my tinkering-box was woefully underpowered to get some work done, so I'm looking into downgrading back to a unix-box to run all my tiny containerized web-applications. Also I've noticed some issues regarding my recognizable disk space, proxmox is not designed to work with eMMC storage so I'm stuck with the extra nvme stick I've put into my tinker-box. So, for me proxmox seems to be one of the more versatile tools in my homelab, which I will glad to be re-adopting when I'm able to run it on some descent hardware, because `potato`-power just isn't cutting it.

Running Voidlinux on bare metal with a bunch of LXD and Docker containers on top. Dipping my toes into QEMU out of interest but right now I have no use for it (yet). Storage is a 1 TB SSD with BTRFS, one subvolume for main system, one subvolume for images, one subvolume for containers. This has the added benefit that I do not need to decide a partition size up front but those subvolumes grow if need be. My storage is a BTRFS pool in RAID1 config. In BTRFS RAID1 means there is always two copies of my data (not like "normal" RAID1) regardless if there are 10 drives in the pool (which there are right now, kicking my just above 50 TB usable space). Another benefit of BTRFS is that I can mix and match drive sizes other than in ZFS and grow my setup by adding single drives. I like simplicity and therefore there is no GUI or any management interface between me and the machine. Everything is setup using Ansible playbooks so I can reproduce this whenever I migrate. P.S.: Greetings from Bavaria ;)

Hey buddy, great videos. Keep up the great work! I use raspberry pi’s. One running raspbian w motioneye running like a service and One running OMV5 w docker w Plex, net data, heimdall and qBitTorrent. I have an old windows 7 PC w a 500 gig SSD and I loaded it w a bunch of older hard drives. First I ran Unbunto, then OMV for x86 also, then I tried truenas but couldn’t quite get the file shares to work correctly (more on that in a min) so I installed proxmox on the SSD. Again, I installed OMV5 in proxmox and it worked flawless. So I installed win10, Unbunto, raspian for x86 and finally truenas. Since the pc I currently use in also an older win7 machine, I found one obscure setting for older SMB and it magically worked. Eventually I’m gonna get a new computer to play half life and other steam games on and to do other things with...so then I’ll have 2 Extra computers....one running proxmox and maybe one running true nas

Hi Lawrence, I would say it depends if your main usage is NAS - then I'd use a NAS distribution and try to do container on top. If your main usage will be virtualization then I'd go for Proxmox or the like. You can btw. run a file server in a samba container on Proxmox...

Excellent channel, thanks so much for preparing these videos. May I request that you spend some more time to slowly explain the hard drive and network config on Proxmox? I feel this is one of the confusing elements most people get wrong when installing proxmox. I.e. lay out what you want, LVM, formats ext4 vs zfs, xfs and then how to set up the network environment to have 3-4 VMs work independently while only using 1 NIC. There are some relatively poor and outdated videos on youtube today and for people new to proxmox, I think your great style of presenting could be really helpful...

Interesting. I'm an RV full-timer and have 11 running computers around the RV. I am using the same computer as you for my router, DHCP server and Internet gateway. Since I have 25 years experience with Windows and no experience with other operating systems, I'm running Windows Server 2012 r2 which I got a license for off eBay for about $35. Since I frequently move from place to place, I have 3 different WiFi adapters which I can connect to campground Internets with. I've also got an old Verizon MyFi device to use when campground WiFi is poor. The MyFi also has a POTS phone line which comes in useful from time to time. I can also use a hard wired network cable if I am at a place with that available. Some campground hot spots don't like some WiFi cards so that gives me lots of options. The machine is also running in-house Filezilla FTP server which my webcams connect to. Then a scheduling program that will FTP the webcam still images to my website. The machine is obviously not working very hard but does what I need fairly cheaply and keeps me busy with learning the innards of Windows server.
