thanks for the info... I'm thinking of sticking with just Debian (as my simple usecase) and use virsh commands..

Okay πŸ‘ Thanks for your suggestions. Think I'll just stick with Debian πŸ™‚

haven't thought about it. I guess I'll learn some bash :)

BTW what is a good OS for the VM host? many here are running proxmox... would you recommend it for this purpose of bash automation to bring up VMs?

Thanks.. Just for clarification, you can use Ansible to control Proxmox as well.. and automate the entire VM bring up?

Hi, I have a home server (basically a NAS) currently running Debian. Basically it's configuration is as follows

  • debian host running 3 VMs

  • debian running inside each VM as docker host

I just manually install KVM on the host then docker on each VM after creating each of them. I documented the process so I know how to replicate it in case I need to rebuild.

I now dream of being able to automate the rebuild process using config files. I know this is done using Ansible.

But I've now heard of Talos.. (A thin layer for kubernetes) and intrigued. But I suppose I need a setup for the VM host to achieve automation through config files..

What setup are you guys using?

Thank you.


Thanks for all your suggestions! I've chosen to go with just bash scripting (given my simple setup) and keep the setup as it is.. Just gotta learn bash and virsh :)

Thanks for the addition. It's also mentioned in that original blog post I linked in the article.

I understand what you mean. It's become a habit of mine lately, and I learn lots in the discussion to.

In my defence I did run some tests and confirm it's functioning.

Yes that's how I'm automating it, and it's noted in the blog I highlighted. Your point about post down does make sense πŸ˜•

Like I said ip6 is useless when it comes to torrenting. Even if the tracker supports it it's not persavive with users connecting to you.

Oh cool. I couldn't find any info on doing this. And struggled lots at I don't understand Iptables

I dunno about him; but genuinely I'm excited about AI. Blows my mind each passing day ;)

Oh of you didn't want to mess with hardware setups, them it makes sense.

FYI, there are nas cases like the jonsbo, and Celeron processors that you can build entirely fanless too.

 

So I've just found out about Lemmy. (Although I'm a big FOSS enthusiast)

Choose this app for my Android device, and boy nothing beats it's minimalism!

 

For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.
