I wrote something for myself, and figured it might be useful for others: a small service that automatically discovers LXCs and VMs in a Proxmox cluster and acts as a DNS server pointing to the IP(s) for them. It's called, somewhat unimaginatively... proxmox-service-discovery:
https://github.com/andrew-d/proxmox-service-discovery
As a short example: if you have a Proxmox cluster running lxc1, lxc2, and vm3, and you run proxmox-service-discovery with the "--dns-zone=example.com" option, then it will run a DNS server that answers queries for lxc1.example.com with all the IP addresses for lxc1, and so on for lxc2 and vm3.
It's pretty basic but well-tested, and seems to work well for my use-case. Feedback appreciated, along with bug reports, PRs, and so on!

Eh. 5 terabytes.. That's prolly good but idk anymore
Intento a smussare gli angoli di questa istanza #MaStoMondo fino a renderla perfetta. Che poi perfetta è un parolone nel mondo del #selfhosting. Al momento gira su una LXC #proxmox sull'home server che mi aiuta a rimediare via backup i danni irreversibili causati risolvendo altri problemi..
Prossima task: risolvere problema immagini dei miei post rotte o blurrate.
E pensare che 3 backup fa c'ero riuscito.
I am testing out some tech I want to learn more about :-)
I have used #Terraform to create some VMs in my #Proxmox server, then with #kubespray installed a kubernetes cluster on them.
Next I'll install #rook / #ceph so I have some storage, and last but not least I will install #CloudNativePG @CloudNativePG@mastodon.social on it.
If that all works, I'll repeat that in another datacenter to test cloudnativepg replica clusters.
Combining hobby and work..
Ideas that you get when walking off to blow out steam: I'll just build a VM inside Proxmox, and try to replicate all the services from one of my Raspberry Pi. If it works, I'll put it in production.

It's possible you've not heard of #boxyBSD
I was lucky to get a TIL moment when @stefano boosted it's existence into my feed.
However you should know about it, learn something about the user perspective from proxmox in the process, while working with a boxyBSD VM.
Here are some nice screencaps of the boxyBSD site so you can ask nicely for a VM and learn to play with one of the *BSD flavours from a distance.
I'm sure you can duckduckgo the address of boxyBSD when you analyze the screencaps, right?

It has arrived. proxyLB v1.1.0 the loadbalancer for proxmox clusters. Instead of telling you the features of this major version I invite you to read about it yourself, download proxyLB then play with it.
As with any great Open Source project, this has grown out of a necessity that @gyptazy has for his other amazing project boxyBSD, which just needs a versatile tool like this.
Now go and play.
#bash #proxyLB #freeBSD #boxyBSD #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #netBSD #openBSD #POSIX #proxmox #loadbalancer
Even though it's April 1st, this is no joke - #ProxLB 1.1.0 is officially out!
ProxLB is an opensource, advanced and DRS alike open-source load balancing solution for #Proxmox clusters.
Thanks to my company @credativde, I have the opportunity to contribute to this project as part of our commitment to open-source innovation - even during work hours!
#ProxLB - an opensource & advanced VM loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters. Including affinity & anti-affinity rules, maintenance mode (evacuating nodes) and more. I just published my slides about it.

A veces me preguntan por qué me gusta Linux… Además de todo lo filosófico y tal, me encanta lo mucho que me entretiene. Esta tarde he montado mis imágenes cloud de @alpinelinux para @proxmox.
Me parece que, poco a poco, voy aprendiendo más sobre esta estupenda distribución: minimalista y segura. He decidido hacerle una pequeña aportación a través de @opencollective a ver si entre todos ayudamos a mantener los gastos. Colaborar, en lo que se pueda y como se pueda.

Pre-Weekend Server maintanance:
- Patched all Proxmox VE Servers to 8.3.5 and latest OS updates
- Patched burningboard.net Mastodon instance to latest os updates
- Patched all my RHEL systems to latest state and rebooted them
- Updated my Home-Server and Home-Assistant to version 2025.3.4
- Updated Red Hat Satellite to version 6.16.3
- Decomissioned last Fedora server and removed Fedora 41 repositories from Satellite.
- Verified status of my Backup infrastructure and that all servers are backed up properly
- Checked monitoring (check_mk and Grafana/Loki) for errors
All done, weekend can come :-)
What could possibly go wrong with #Windows VMs in #Proxmox when using native CPU type? Why could this have impacts to the VMs' performance? Let's do #virtualization the right way.

No April Fools' joke - the new #ProxLB release is scheduled for the 1st of April! Stay tuned!
ProxLB is an advanced #loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters that brings in features like #DRS (known from #VMware), #maintenance mode and (anti-)#affinity groups.
What do you miss in #Proxmox or #XCPng?
My customers often told me, that when migrating from #VMware based setups, they would miss something like #DRS. As a result I published #ProxLB as a load balancer. Now, I do the same for #DPM and also some other things. What do you miss or what stops you or your business from switching to Proxmox or XCPng?
