Nope - Proxmox lets you create VLAN trunks, just like a physical switch.

Edit: here's one of my Proxmox server network configs.

This is exactly my setup on one of my Proxmox servers - a second NIC connected as my WAN adapter to my fibre internet. OPNsense firewall/router uses it.

I have two Proxmox hosts and two NASes. All are connected at 1Gbps.

The Proxmox hosts maintain the real network mounts - nfs in my case - for the NAS shares. Inside each CT that requires them, these are mapped to mount points with identical paths in each, eg. /storage/nas1 and /storage/nas2.

All my *arr (and downloader) CTs are configured to use the exact same paths.

It's seamless. nzbget or deluge download to the same parent folders that my *arr CTs work with, which means atomic renames/moves are pretty much instant. The only real network traffic is from the download CTs to the NASes.

Edit: my downloader CTs download directly to the NAS paths - no intermediate disk at all.

The magnifying glass next to each season header will automatically search for season packs and pick a download for you. The person icon will do it interactively, where you see the results and select which one(s) you want to download.

This is the case across Sonarr. Magnifying glass at the top of a series will auto search for all missing, monitored episodes. Same applies at individual episode level, but the the person icon does it interactively, in case you want to select the specific release you want to download.

Edit: here's a screenshot showing what I mean

I have a 2N+C backup strategy. I have two NASes, and I use rclone to backup my data from one NAS to the other, and then backup (with encryption) my data to Amazon S3. I have a policy on that bucket in S3 that shoves all files into Glacier Deep Archive at day 0, so I pay the cheapest rate possible.

For example, I'm storing just shy of 400GB of personal photos and videos in one particular bucket, and that's costing me about $0.77USD per month. Pennies.

Yes, it'll cost me a lot more to pull it out and, yes, it'll take a day or two to get it back. But it's an insurance policy I can rely on and a (future) price I'm willing to pay should the dire day (lost both NASes, or worse) ever arrive when I need it.

Why Amazon S3? I'm in Australia, and that means local access is important to me. We're pretty far from most other places around the world. It means I can target my nearest AWS region with my rclone jobs and there's less latency. Backblaze is a great alternative, but I'm not in the US or Europe. Admittedly, I haven't tested this theory, but I'm willing to bet that in-country speeds are still a lot quicker than any CDN that might help get me into B2.

Also, something others haven't yet mentioned is, per Immich's guidance on their repo (Dislacimer right at the top) is not NOT rely on Immich as your sole backup. Immich is under very active development, and breaking changes are a real possibility all the time right now.

I use SyncThing to also backup all my photos and videos to my NAS, and that's also backed up to the other NAS and S3. That's why I have nearly 400GB of photos and videos - it's effectively double my actual library size. But, again, at less than a buck a month to store all that, I don't really mind duoble-handling all that data, for the peace of mind I get.

100% this. I recommend also setting up SyncThing to keep a completely separate backup of your photos (if you have the means). They even state that on their GH repo that, due to the highly active development, you shouldn't rely on Immich as the sole solution to backup photos and videos.

Yep, until PhotoPrism revealed themselves to be the greedy cunts they are.

I sponsor my favourite tech projects annually, as I believe in supporting independent and responsible open-source development.

I became a paid Github sponsor for PhotoPrism because they promised features like multi-user were coming, and they indicated that paid sponsors would get access. After what seemed way too long a wait, they finally released the features many of us had been waiting for, only to stick them behind a monthly paid subscription. For self-hosted users. 🤨

So, I switched to Immich about 6 months ago. I've found Alex and the rest of the team to be very active, and quite responsive to support requests, including on Discord. Additionally, the development is fast-paced and new features are coming all the time.

My money's going to Immich. PhotoPrism can go get fucked.

Love this! Lot of similarity to what I use - Authelia's awesome, especially paired with a free push 2FA like Duo.

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 2 points 11 months ago

I've found the HP iLOs to be really unreliable for viewing across the network. Something I've been meaning to look into...

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, seems about right. I'm planning on buying a 32RU rack in the new year - will fit it out with power monitoring PDUs while I'm at it.

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 1 points 11 months ago

Love it! I'm gonna grab a 32RU rack soon. Got most of my stuff in a small ~14RU wall cabinet right now. I was originally aiming for low power everything - RasPis, etc. But I've since bought a couple DL360s, and you just can't beat the sheer grunt factor, especially when paired with Proxmox.

Yep - fair enough. Admittedly, my homelab is as much for professional development as it is home use, but pretty much everything gets used all the time.
