Proxmox is host to a bunch of VMs, including a K3S cluster that is setup though an Ansible playbook. There are 3 Masters and 4 workers. I followed TechnoTim’s guide here to get this cracking and honestly, I’ve only scratched the surface on Kubernetes. I setup a bash alias on the first IP in the K3S stack to run the Ansible playbook with one simple command, so its simple to spin up again, should I shutoff this server. I then setup Rancher to maintain and utilize the Kubernetes Cluster, with a Traefik2 ingress, MetalLB, Helm, and Longhorn for distributed storage. Links here for tutorials by TechnoTim – Longhorn, Traefik-K3S-ingress with Cert-manager, and Rancher setup. The Proxmox server is also home to two separate PBX solutions, they’re installed and they have access to my SIP trunk provider (voip.ms, here’s my referral link if anyone’s interested.) I’ve added 15 bucks to the account and have it as a work line should I ever get my Technical Consulting business off the ground. Right now the PBXs can be spun up but the IP phones are sitting in a closet. It’s a cool project to get going though even if I don’t need a landline, let alone a full PBX. From there I have a bunch of small Ubuntu VMs that I have a created though template’s with cloud-init drives to make it a sinch to spin up another VM (Cloud-init tutorial) I just started to get into Terraform (IoC – infrastructure as code) to spin up VMs in much the same way you would with Ansible (project here thru The Digital Life, yt channel). LibreNMS is another thing that I just spun up the other day. No real tutorial to link because SNMP is dead simple. I’m sure I could dockerize some of these projects, rather than spinning up a whole new Ubuntu VM, but sometimes its nice to just have a clean start and then combine Compose files into stacks though I’m sure some of the VMs can be setup to run more than one service per VM.
