Re: Unraid vs TrueNAS – Home Lab Comparison in 2023

The read speeds should be defined by whatever drive is doing the read. Write speeds can be improved with a cache drive.

Question: What case / motherboard / hardware do you have to support 10 HDD in two arrays before even your cache drive? (I need to add more drives, hence my question)

Tercio good point. That is true and definitely another point of difference between 1password and others.

Re: Change ESXi Management IP Address and VLAN on vSphere Distributed Switches VDS

This is great stuff...
But you did not mention the reconnection to VC after changing the IP address part.
After changing the IP address the connection to VC drops.
You need first to "right click, disconnect" the host, change the host's DNS, flushdns on the VC and only then change the ip address of the host. Then you should be able to reconnect it.

Re: XCP-NG vs Proxmox – Home Lab Comparison

Lior Assaf — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 12:21:31 -0000

I'm a long time user of Proxmox, there are a lot of advantages while using it mainly due the fact it's based on Debian.

The thing is that I recently switched to XCP-NG because of the backup solution and other things such as the simplicity that these guys handle things and I was playing around with Proxmox just to acheive the basic functionalities which was build-in.
I still can't create a proper vGPU on XCP-NG and thin-clients solutions as I have with my Proxmox
cluster, but the it fail me one time and it's enough for me - couldn't start a machine due to lack of quorum !!!

Re: NVMe server for vSAN virtual machines

Hello there!
about those nvme drives you're using... were they auto-detected in the ESXi... or did you need to install some drivers from the community? Thank you!

Enteneller — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 07:15:56 -0000

Thanks for this tutorial!

I think there's a typo: "mkfs.ext4 -L vmstorage /dev/nvmeOn1" -> mkfs.ext4 -L vmstorage /dev/nvmeOn1p1

Cheers

Re: Proxmox Update No Subscription Repository Configuration

The UI was will just fix the superficial problem you have with reporting and of course hook up the right repo.

If you want to do the upgrade, you need the `dist-upgrade` command to be run on the command line.

I don't think you can call vSan enterprise without doing the same for ceph. Ceph can easily scale thousands of nodes, comes with s3 storage etc..
It is heavily used in large companies and enterprises.

environment:
- TZ=America/Halifax # Timezone
restart: always # I personally set this to always.

In your YAML config you have ports 80 and 443, but in the docker cli command, you're using port 3000. The YAML config did not work for me as the container is configured to listen on port 3000, hard coded.

The developer's website even shows this: https://gethomepage.dev/en/...

Hope this helps others.

unRAID uses KVM type-1 vm management and docker for container management.

The area where it falls down is there is no native HA.

I host a few vm but I am looking heavily toward harvester to host both vm and containers in a cluster. Will see.

Brandon Lee — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 08:08:27 -0000

KaraLoop,

Currently the two are very similar. I think the main difference at this point is well there aren't many differences currently. I think the branches are in the very early stages of differentiation. So, currently the main things are, plus is on a different release/patch cycle, you can't download it directly and you must have a license to activate it. As time goes on, we will be able to list out more concrete features and differences.

That's a bad name for a KVM solution. There already is a Raspberry Pi based marine autopilot named Tinypilot. For which the name is much more appropriate too.
