2-node cluster + qdevice (alien.top)

Hi,

I've been using Proxmox on a mini pc for almost a year and now I would like to test/learn clustering and HA.

I have just receive a HP 600 G9 mini that I would like to use as main "beefy" node, with zfs on 2 nvme drives. I also have an old Intel NUC i5 525U and a Rpi 4.

what I would like to try is creating a 2-node cluster (hp mini + NUC) and Rpi as a qdevice.

what could be the best practices in terms of shared storage / HA? is shared storage a must? I would like to have my critical services in HA (home assistant, ngnix, omada controller etc)

don't know if could help, but I also have a Synology mounted as NFS storage.

For the shared storage, you may try to go with the Starwinds vsan, the system requirements are pretty low and you would be able to use the internal storage as shared one, so no need of the additional box. Also, it has guide with the steps, so shouldn't be an issue: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resource-library/starwind-virtual-san-vsan-free-configuration-guide-for-proxmox-virtual-environment-ve-kvm-vsan-deployed-as-a-controller-virtual-machine-cvm/
