Oof, but good to have! 💸

HA is possible with 2 (+Qdevice) with zfs repl, but I’ll look for a third one as well sooner or later. I haven’t used ceph, but everyone tells me how much of an overhead it has

What kind of distributed storage do you want to use, Ceph? What kind of orchestration/hypervisor do you use? I also have two nodes currently (Proxmox) with pseudo shared storage (zfs replication).

That’s funny! Do you have it connected to Nabu Casa? Or are you connected to your home network via VPN?

On the first glance, the breaking changes don’t apply to my setup. I’ll try to update when I have time for potential tinkering though.

Here’s a structured overview of the (breaking) changes: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/whatsnew/whats-new-in-v13-0/#breaking-changes

How do you block email spam with a firewall?

Ideally, you have at least two systems, test updates in the dev system and only then allow it in prod. So no auto merge in prod in this case or somehow have it check if dev worked.

Seeing which services are usually fine to update without intervening and tuning your renovate config to it should be sufficient for homelab imho.

Given that most people are running :latest and just yolo the updates with watchtower or not automated at all, some granular control with renovate is already a big improvement.

You can configure automerge per stack and also if it’s allowed on patch, minor or major upgrades.

That or Komodo when using docker. Renovate is really good, you always know which version you’re at, you can set it up to auto merge on minor and/or patch level, it shows you the release notes etc.

This tutorial is good: https://nickcunningh.am/blog/how-to-automate-version-updates-for-your-self-hosted-docker-containers-with-gitea-renovate-and-komodo

Yeah I posted it when I built it :)

Then I don’t see the problem. 12 is normal with additional SSD and a bit load

I see 12W in OPs post, was it edited maybe? 1W would be too low, agree.

I think I missed the irony 🙈

It’s from Kaoskvlt

How do you manage backups? One big benefit of Proxmox is running containers in vms and easily snapshot/backup/restore whole vms.

OP says 12W, has it been edited?

No that’s real, Raspi is even lower. My Lenovo Tiny were idling around 6W without the additional SSD.

Built a year ago, didn’t change anything but drives since. PCengine APU OpnSense, two Proxmox cluster hosts, one mini PC NAS with JBOD. All DIY.

You can enable replication, and once you have the VM disk replicated, you can enable High Availability. Open the VM in the webinterface, click “More” at bottom right, and select “Manage HA”.

Glad to hear that :)
