I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:
-
Running arr services on a proxmox cluster to download to a device on the same network. I donโt think there would be any problems but wanted to see what changes need to be done.
-
Which micro PCs are you running? I am leaving towards HP prodesk or Lenovo 7xx/9xx series around 200 each. I donโt really plan on getting more than 2-3 and donโt run too many things, but would want enough overhead if I switch stuff over to home assistant and windows and Linux VMs if needed.
-
Any best practices you recommend when starting a Proxmox cluster? Iโve learned over time itโs best to set it up correctly than try to fix stuff when itโs running. I wish I could coach myself from 7 years ago now. Would of saved a lot of headaches lol.
And you donโt have quorum issues any time a system is down. (I regret making mine a cluster.)
Yeah, you can run it on anything and its great for even numbered clusters.
I need to re-ip both of my proxmox hosts and ran into a wall due to quorum. This could get me over that hump.
That being said, it was a failed experiment to put them in a cluster. I donโt use any of the cluster functionality and would love to destroy the cluster config w/o having to rebuild the proxmox hosts.
You donโt have to rebuild the proxmox hosts to remove the cluster. I made the same mistake last year sometime and was able to remove the cluster and each of the proxmox machines works as it should standalone. I donโt recall the exact steps but it was very easy. A quick search for โproxmox remove clusterโ gave me this result and from what I recall these are the steps I followed as well. https://rostislavjadavan.com/posts/promox-delete-cluster
