Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab?

Hi all. I was curious about some of the pros and cons of using Proxmox in a home lab set up. It seems like in most home lab setups it’s overkill. But I feel like there may be something I’m missing. Let’s say I run my home lab on two or three different SBCs. Main server is an x86 i5 machine with 16gigs memory and the others...

As a small homelabber I agree with this.
I started with a baremetal and using Docker, and switched to Proxmox, and now over to Incus, actually currently I am using Debian with cockpit + cockpit-machines. I do like Incus, I keep hopping back and forth between cockpit, I need to settle on one.

It's a relatively low performance hit and it benefits me when having to replace a failing/old disk. I can just toss the drive without having to erase the data first, that is as long as the key is a secure length.

Quickly skimming the readme, it states:

  • OAuth token spoofing: To circumvent rate limits imposed by Reddit, OAuth token spoofing is used to mimick the most common iOS and Android clients. While spoofing both iOS and Android clients was explored, only the Android client was chosen due to content restrictions when using an anonymous iOS client.
  • Token refreshing: The authentication token is refreshed every 24 hours, emulating the behavior of the official Android app.
  • HTTP header mimicking: Efforts are made to send along as many of the official app's headers as possible to reduce the likelihood of Reddit's crackdown on Redlib's requests.

You can block instances. Go to settings, blocks, in block instance section search for the instance that you want to block.

It is very useful! It's also slightly customizable in that you can have it not save duplicate commands.

More information can be found on the Arch Wiki or the man page

Not that it helps but the CEO claims they forgive for this type of attack/event. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39521986

Netlify CEO here.

Our support team has reached out to the user from the thread to let them know they're not getting charged for this.

It's currently our policy to not shut down free sites during traffic spikes that doesn't match attack patterns, but instead forgiving any bills from legitimate mistakes after the fact.

Apologies that this didn't come through in the initial support reply.

And later they were asked if they would have responded if it didn't go viral. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39522029

Question:

There are only two questions everyone have:

  1. Would Netlify forgive the bill if this didn't go viral?

  2. How do you plan to address this issue so that it never happens again?

Everyone here knew someone from Netlify would come and say OP wouldn't have to pay. That was a given. Now we want to know the important answers.

Answer by CEO:

  1. Yes. We've forgiven lots and lots of bills over the last 9 years and they haven't gone viral

  2. While I've always favored erring towards keeping people's sites up we are currently working on changing the default behavior to never let free sites incur overages

~53 W

  • Server:

    • AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
    • 4x16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
    • 256 GB NVMe as boot-disk
    • 2x256 GB Samsung SSDs for VMs
    • 2x2 TB WD Red Plus HDDs
  • Mini PC: Beelink S12 N95

    • 16 GB DDR4
    • 256 GB NVMe
  • 8 port unmanaged TP Link switch

I would like to expand my storage, however I don't have any available SATA ports and I believe adding an HBA would increase the idle draw about 8 W. I might just upgrade the SSDs and split the storage between the HDDs and SSDs.

I recently switched from Proxmox to Debian Bookworm with Incus(LXD fork) as my primary setup, it's been a pleasant experience. I also like the idea of using something like Cockpit to manage VMs though haven't come to a need yet for a VM over a container. I'll also point out that Incus can handle VMs as well.

Stéphane Graber, Project leader of Linux Containers is also on the fediverse and responds to questions often.

That's a good recommendation, thanks!

There's even an RSS feed for that page: https://openwrt.org/feed.php?mode=list&ns=advisory

This appears to be the exact same problem as https://github.com/mdshack/shotshare/issues/31

For testing I just spun up a VM with Docker, I tried the same compose file as you. I found I had to use the volume instead of a bind mount for /app/storage.

This compose file should work.

version: "3.3"
services:
  shotshare:
    ports:
      - 2000:80
    environment:
      - HOST=:80
      - ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false
    volumes:
      - shotshare_data:/app/storage
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/database.sqlite:/app/database/database.sqlite
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/.env:/app/.env
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: shotshare
    image: mdshack/shotshare:latest
volumes:
    shotshare_data:
networks: {}

It will be stored in /var/lib/docker/volumes, you can find the exact location by inspecting the volume. Use docker volume ls to list the volumes, and do docker volume inspect <volume_name> replacing <volume_name> with the one from the list. Look for "Mountpoint", that is the exact location. You could try copying that to bind mount location, though I can't be sure if it will continue to work.

I just did another test.

You should be able to create the directories manually.
I cheated by simply cloning the repo and copying them to the bind mount location like so. You can use the bind mount method like you wanted.

git clone https://github.com/mdshack/shotshare
cp -r shotshare/storage/* /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/shotshare_data/
chown 82:82 -R /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/shotshare_data

No, since you are using the bind mount, you do not need to use the volume.

You're welcome! Also thanks for asking this question, I hadn't seen ShotShare before, it looks useful.

That error message says it the permissions of the /home/user/Documents/Docker/LinguaCafe/logs directory. You can try changing it full r/w temporarily to test.
