Recently, I embarked on a project to bring the power of a Proxmox cluster into my home. For those who may not be familiar, Proxmox is an open-source virtualization platform that allows you to easily create and manage virtual machines and clusters.

Setting up a Proxmox cluster was a bit more challenging than setting up a single server, but with the help of some trusty Linux templates, and a lot of Googling, I was able to get everything up and running.

One of the biggest benefits of having a Proxmox cluster is the ability to have high availability and automatic failover. This means that if one of the nodes in the cluster were to fail, the virtual machines running on that node would automatically be moved to another node in the cluster, ensuring that there is no downtime.

Another great feature of Proxmox clusters is the ability to create templates. These are pre-configured virtual machines that can be easily deployed, saving a ton of time and effort. I spent a good chunk of time creating templates for both Red Hat and Linux, which have come in handy for quickly spinning up new VMs.

But the real fun began when I started playing around with the different VMs I had created. I was able to set up a Windows 10 VM for gaming, a Ubuntu VM for programming, and even a NAS for storing all of my important files.

The possibilities are endless with Proxmox clusters, and I’m excited to continue experimenting and finding new ways to use my trusty home server.

Overall, this project has been an extremely rewarding experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to dive into the world of virtualization and clustering.

If you’re thinking about setting up your own Proxmox cluster, just remember to be patient, don’t be afraid to ask for help and most importantly, have fun!

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts and prepare for an exciting journey through the world of IT infrastructure design. I recently had the pleasure of designing and implementing a brand new Nutanix cluster for a customer, complete with a backup solution powered by Veeam and an S3 object store.

The first step of the project was to understand the customer’s needs and goals. After a thorough analysis, it was clear that they needed a more powerful and scalable solution that could handle their growing data needs. That’s when Nutanix came into the picture. Nutanix is a leading provider of hyperconverged infrastructure, which combines compute, storage, and virtualization in a single platform. This technology is perfect for the customer’s needs because it allows them to easily scale their environment as their data grows.

Once we had decided on Nutanix, it was time to implement the new cluster. This was no small feat, as it required a lot of planning and coordination to ensure that everything was set up correctly. But with the help of the Nutanix team, we were able to successfully deploy the new cluster without any major hiccups. The customer was impressed with the speed and performance of the new cluster.

Now that we had the new Nutanix cluster up and running, it was time to tackle the backup solution. This is where Veeam came in. Veeam is a leading provider of backup and recovery software, and it was the perfect choice for the customer’s needs. Veeam integrates seamlessly with Nutanix and allows them to easily backup their data to an S3 object store. This means that even if disaster strikes, their data will be safe and secure.

Overall, the project was a huge success. The customer’s new Nutanix cluster is more powerful and scalable than ever before, and their backup solution ensures that their data is safe and secure. Thanks to Nutanix and Veeam, the customer can now sleep easy knowing that their IT infrastructure is in good hands.

So there you have it, a thrilling adventure through the world of IT infrastructure design for a customer. It’s always a great feeling to see a customer’s satisfaction with a job well done.

Till next time,

Your IT Adventurer.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re being watched every time you search the web? Are you tired of having your search history and personal information tracked and sold to the highest bidder? Well, have no fear because I have the solution for you: a personal search engine that is not only autonomous and non-trackable, but also entertaining!

Recently, I embarked on an adventure to create the ultimate personal search engine experience. I journeyed to the land of Linode and set up my very own Linux node. Once I arrived, I stumbled upon the mystical Searx package and knew it was the key to unlocking the ultimate search engine.

After installing the package, I was able to customize my search engine to perfection. I added custom search engines, changed the layout and design, and even added my own custom scripts. But, what really sets my search engine apart is its entertainment factor.
