I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:
-
Running arr services on a proxmox cluster to download to a device on the same network. I don’t think there would be any problems but wanted to see what changes need to be done.
-
Which micro PCs are you running? I am leaving towards HP prodesk or Lenovo 7xx/9xx series around 200 each. I don’t really plan on getting more than 2-3 and don’t run too many things, but would want enough overhead if I switch stuff over to home assistant and windows and Linux VMs if needed.
-
Any best practices you recommend when starting a Proxmox cluster? I’ve learned over time it’s best to set it up correctly than try to fix stuff when it’s running. I wish I could coach myself from 7 years ago now. Would of saved a lot of headaches lol.
You still need to do that, but Proxmox also needs you to define the VLAN on whichever bridge interface you’re using for the VLAN traffic, and not apply an IP address to that bridge.
In my case, bridge interface
vmbr1
maps to physical interfaceenp2s0f0
. I then have a VLAN interface on the bridge for each VLAN I want to be able to handle traffic for at the Proxmox server -vmbr1.100
for VLAN100 (my Proxmox client VLAN) andvmbr1.60
(my physical infrastructure VLAN).
