Thank you, that’s actually quite informative. Gives me a good idea of what could go where in terms of my setup.

So far I recreated my RPi DietPi setup in a VM but for some reason Pi-Hole + Unbound combo is now fucking with my internet connectivity. It is so weird, I assigned it a static lease for the old RPi IP address in OpenWrt and left all the rules in there intact and you would think it would be a “drop-in replacement” but it isn’t. Not sure if Proxmox has some weird firewall situation going on. Definitely need to fuck around more with it to better understand it.

I travel internationally and some of the countries In been to have been blocking my wireguard tunnel back home preventing me from accessing my vault. I tried setting it up with shadowsocks and broke my entire setup so I ended up resetting it.

Any suggestions that is not tailscale?

I have a couple of publicly accessible services (vaultwarden, git, and searxng). Do you place them on a separate subnet via proxmox or through the router?

My understanding in networking is fundamental enough to properly setup OpenWrt with an inbound and outbound VPN tunnels along with policy based routing, and that’s where my networking knowledge ends.

Containers as in LXC?

[–] modeh@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not even sure what that is, so most likely a no for me.

Only reason I am thinking cgit is because I want a simple interface to show repos and commit history, not interested in doing pull requests, opening issues, etc…

I feel Forgejo would be “killing an ant with a sledgehammer” kinda situation for my needs.

Nonetheless, thank you for your suggestion.

Thank you.

I guess I have more reading to do on Portainer and LXC. Using an RPi with DietPi, I didn’t have the need to learn any of this. Now is a good time as ever.

But generally speaking, how is a Linux container different (or worse) than a VM?

Oh yeah, absolutely will do. Was simply hoping to get an idea of how self-hosters who’ve been using it for a while now set it up to get a rough picture of where I want to be once I am done screwing around with it.

The Beelink comes with two PCIe slots, so I have two internal drives for now. Is it acceptable to attach external HDDs and set them up in a RAID configuration with the internal ones? I do plan on the Beelink being a NAS too (limited budget, can’t afford a separate dedicated NAS at the moment)

 

Hello everyone,

I finally managed to get my hands on a Beelink EQ 14 to upgrade from the RPi running DietPi that I have been using for many years to host my services.

I have always was interested in using Proxmox and today is the day. Only problem is I am not sure where to start. For example, do you guys spin up a VM for every service you intend to run? Do you set it up as ext4, btrfs, or zfs? Do you attach external HDD/SSD to expand your storage (beyond the 2 PCIe slots in the Beelink in this example).

I’ve only started reading up on Proxmox just today so I am by no means knowledgeable on the topic

I hope to hear how you guys setup yours and how you use it in terms of hosting all your services (nextcloud, vaultwarden, cgit, pihole, unbound, etc…) and your ”Dos and Don’ts“

Thank you 😊
