Base proxmox cluster

Base48 provides access to a proxmox server located on-premise at the hackerspace!

How do I log in?

Navigate to https://proxmox.at.base48.cz/ and select the Hackerspace realm:

Selected Hackerspace for login realm:

You should be redirected to Keycloak and you can use your Memberportal credentials to login.

Are there any rules?

short answer? Don't be stupid.

Long answer?

  • Don't overprovision, your debian vm probably doesn't need 32gb of ram.
  • Be nice to other people, don't migrate or kill other people's VMs/CTs.
  • Make it clear what's yours, put your username into VM/CT names.
  • Don't land anyone in jail, keep it legal.
  • If you're not sure or need help, ask service admin: Vega (msg@vega76.cz)

Disclaimer:

  • All members (except rada) have same permissions to everything.
  • There's no disk encryption of the cluster. If you want disk encryption, encrypt your VMs.
  • All nodes are on base premises.
  • Live migration is not guaranteed for VMs, and is not supported for CTs.

Layout:

The cluster contains 3 nodes:

  • master: big old xeon server in the grey case
    • 40 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 v2 @ 2.50GHz (2 Sockets)
    • 192GB of ram DDR3 ECC
    • gtx1060 passed into the windows vm
  • polydrive2: small black HPe microserver gen10 NAS in the rack (donated by vega)
    • 4 x AMD Opteron(tm) X3421 APU (1 Socket)
    • 16GB of ram DDR4 ECC
  • printer-control3: HP sff PC in the rack (donated by vero, ram from vega)
    • 4 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz (1 Socket)
    • 64GB of ram DDR4 non-ECC

Networking:

  • 1gbit to all nodes from base lan.
  • 2x10gbit between master and polydrive.
  • 1gbit only for printer-control. (for now)

(dual 10G NICs and copper donated by snajpa)

Storage:

  • every node has a 4TB drive in it that's ZFS replicated between all nodes every 15min. (Disks donated by vega)
  • everything is backed up daily to a 4x 2TB raidz2 array running on TrueNAS on a microserver gen8 node. (disks & node donated by vero)
