So, literally ONE DAY after writing My backup strategies post, I encountered a need to completely reinstall proxmox.
As it turns out, there is not a documented, nor official restore process. After some trial and error, I did manage to completely restore my host, with no loss in configuration.
This- is a short post explaining my personal backup strategies for VMs, Kubernetes, Personal Devices, etc.
I discuss my strategies for implementing, and exceeding the 3-2-1 backup rule, for Kubernetes, Proxmox, File Shares, and personal devices.
Too often- I see the all too familiar post on reddit.
Hey guys- Look at this really nice hardware I got for free, or for cheap.
And- there is ALWAYS a comment along the lines of, "Say good bye to your energy bill", or "Time to watch your meter spin!"
So- today, I am here to address a few common misconceptions.
A random thing I recently came across while testing out LibreNMS-
I discovered they have a published .ova, which I wanted to import into Proxmox. However, proxmox as of this post, does not have a easy option to support importing this.
This- is a quick post, containing the commands you need, to import the ova.
So, I have a VM on proxmox, which has 4 individual NVMe drives directly passed in.
I wanted to attach one of those drives to another VM.
This is a very short guide on how to unbind the NVMe from vfio, and re-attach it to the hypervisor.
