Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questions (midwest.social)

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

I've no ideia if there's a reasonable migration path but after running Proxmox for years I wouldn't even want stuff that was tainted by it ever running on my pristine LXD nodes.

It'd be a pain in the rear to rebuild everything. This proxmox machine is the center of everything, even housing the disk all the config backups are on. I should probably not be doing that...

[–] TCB13@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you're on a recent proxmox setup that uses LXC containers you might be able to export those containers using lxc-snapshot or some other method and move them to the LXD node... May work just fine, may require other adjustments.

Personally the move was worth it. I'm not gonna lie, a ton of my most complex solutions are setup using cloud-init and Ansible so moving from one solution to another was mostly running those again and watch the machines get re-created.

I'll look at lxc snapshots after the hardware upgrade I got lined up, thanks!
