SeeJayEmm, to mildlyinfuriating in That pattern

This is like the patterned shirt that my wife bought that had the seam down the front and the pattern didn’t line up.

I found this which leads me to believe I may be able to pipe zfs send to restic to replicate my current disk backup strategy. Presumably I could fire up a VM and build a zfs storage pool in it to test that theory out.

Replying to myself but I think this is a square peg, round hole, situation.

If I’m starting over with proxmox I likely need to rethink my entire backup strategy.

Proxmox wont make backups to B2 easier, but since it is basically a web interface and API for Debian and KVM/QEMU you might be able to use your current backup strategy with very little modification.

As for ZFS, you can expect to use about a GB of RAM for each TB in a ZFS pool. I (only) run 2x 4TB drives in ZFS mirror and it results in about 4-5 GB of RAM overhead.

So if I were to put 4x4TB in a RAID10 equivalent pool I’d be looking at ~ 8GB not 16, whew.

For a homelab it’s a bit much, the learning experience is the biggest part. It’s an entire rabbit hole.

The rabbit hole is where all the fun is. Templating was something I never really got around to in my current setup. I do have an ansible playbook and set of roles that will take a brand new Ubuntu VM and configure it just how I like it.

Thanks for all the info. I’ll be sure to check out your repo.

Gotcha. So long as they’re not breaking GPL or holding back security updates for non-paying users. I could care less. Thanks.

No. I just forgot to put xcp-ng anywhere in my reply to you. 😀

Eh, to each their own. In fairness, some iteration of my current setup has existed for many years and I’ve only just get my feet wet with containers in the last month.

I did a little research (on xcp-ng) since reading @housepanther’s post. Seems like it has a lot going for it. My main concern, right now, is that it’s built on top of CentOS.

That was one of the reasons I was thinking of getting bigger disks. I want to retire the qnap I have and spin up a TrueNAS VM.

Does Proxmox still sit at the top of the stack if I’m not clustering?

xcp-ng

Not gonna lie, I haven’t looked at Xen in years. xcp-ng looks interesting. I’ll have to dig into that more.

What do you mean by this?

SeeJayEmm, to nostupidquestions in Is it worth paying the reaminder of my car loan off?
@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

Honestly that’s pretty good all things considered. My car’s a 2020 that cost about the same, I’ve been driving for 30 years, and my ins isn’t much less than yours.

My point was. For a car that new,. even without a lien, I would maintain full coverage should the car get totaled. Your car gets totaled, replacing it is going to cost you way more than the (probably) $600/yr you’re spending on the difference between liability only and full coverage.

@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

I’ve got enough going on, on my internal lan that I have a bind server hosting internal fwd/ptr zones. I just put config files in /etc/dnsmasq.d/ that direct queries for those domains there.

The way I read this either their password reset infr is compromised, your email is compromised, or they did some social engineering w/ a support technician.
