True but I’m wanting to run VMs for specific tasks as well (mostly game servers) and I like to virtualize Linux distros I wanna play with as well as keep a running windows VM for the off chance I need windows ever.

Apartment is too small and my partner is too noise sensitive to get away with a rack. So my localLLM and Jellyfin encoder plus my NAS exists like this this summer. Temps have been very good once the panels came off.
Ansible is next on my list of things to learn.
I don’t think I’ll need to dedicate all of my compute space to K8s probably just half for now.
The rats nest is behind itI need to re do some of the wiring.
I have all 4 power cables braided and zip tied together with the single data cable so its nice to pull out and put back into the entertainment center.
Only problem is I only had four 1 foot Ethernet cables and three 7 foot cables. So I used the 1 footers for the Pis and the 7 footers are bundled up as best I could and neatly hidden.
I’m waiting on some color coordinated .5 foot cables from Cables and Kits and I will swap the switch and patch panel. I want the Pis to have that one cable and that’s it, but I also want all the patch panel ports to work.
This is a 52pi 10 inch rack 8U
I have 4 raspberry Pi4’s 4gb running with POE
Some TP-link gigabit switch with 4/poe ports
3 Thinkcentre Tiny with a ryzen 5 2400GE 32 gigs ddr4 RAM, 512 Sabrent PCIE Gem 4 NVME boot/VM drive, 512 PNY Sata SSDs for databases
I have a bigger server for AI stuff and storage. This is just Tue “production” server for my websites and Git repos
I stole the set up idea from my man Jan Wildeboer
Done. Check parent comment!
Yeah!
So i am running these three computers in a set up that let’s me manage virtual machines on them from a website with Proxmox.
I want to play with a tool that let’s me run Docker Containers. Containers being a way to host services like websites and web apps without having to make a Virtual machine for each app.
This has a lot of advantages but I’m trying to use the High Availability feature when you run these on a cluster of computers.
My problem is that I know I can use the Built In container software in the already clustered Proxmox computers called LXC Linux Containers. However, I want to use a container software called Kubernetes but I would have to build Virtual machines on my servers and then cluster those virtual machines.
Its a little confusing because I have three physical computers clustered together and I’m trying to then build three virtual computers on them and cluster those. Its an odd thing to do and that’s the problem.
Quality answer. Glad my hunch was backed up by your experience. That’s very appreciated.
I hadn’t tried anything with Cloudflared and Kubernetes yet so it would be sick to see it just work.
Yes! They sell a NVME hat that I assume is for the Pi5 (these are 4’s I had laying around). It also moves the HDMI and USBC to the front.
Its the RS-P11 Expansion board. I can only find it bundled with the normal rack mount kit. I got mine off newegg from a reseller I guess so no expansion boards.
Fair point. I was also thinking it would be fun to use CoreOS so I can get one step closer to ArchBTW
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Office workers - Has anyone here convinced their boss to let them install a Linux distro on their work desktop?1·6 days agoI’ve been thinking about swapping my work laptop to Linux too.
The difference is I’m in IT and I know what all things I need to put on my computer to make it compliant with all our policies and all the software I need to do my job.
I’ve been experimenting by running some Linux VMs with all the EDR, patching, and logging software we need. But by the time I’m doing all that, there’s really no point in using Linux except for the CLI which WSL has been great for that.

nagaram@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•if you use GrapheneOS on a pixel device, is it something you'd recommend for a privacy worried user? How seamless is running it after install?8·24 days agoI’m a week into using GrapheneOS and its been great. It is a little restrictive in that I seem to have to explicitly allow apps to run and apps like my Bank app or Spotify don’t work.
However, most apps are just Web Apps at this point and I’ve noticed very little difference in the use of the app versus the pinned browser version.
I’m also trying to curb a phone addiction so Graphene + Lemmy + Mastodon + Jellyfin is all I’m using on this thing.
I assume google headphones would cease to work if I degoogle the device
I’m using my Pixel Buds. They work just as well. Remember, its just a Bluetooth device just without all the QOL stuff like voice control.
I recommend trying it. Graphene OS install also has instruction ions to revert if you change your mind. And it’s pretty easy. Maybe a touch harder than installing Linux generally, but if your dailying Debian, you’re fine.
I got my Vasectomy at 26. I wanted it sooner, but insurance sucks.
I believe firmly that regret is something you make yourself feel or are made to feel. So your family members don’t regret having kids because they haven’t been made to regret that decision.
I haven’t told my family about my snip because I think they would have tried to make me regret it.
That makes sense to me because they want that constant reassurance that their decision was correct. So someone NOT making that decision means it may not have been correct.
If you wanna talk about it more, I’d happily chat with you and be the support you’re not getting.

That’s what I was thinking too. Ijust feel better having another layer between the open web an my server
