    I would enjoy having a play with Proxmox - I want to have a go at installing a PBX backup incase of emergency.
    Been on here a long time so hopefully lots of help.

    Thank you for the kind offer @Not_Oles

    Hi @msatt!

    These i9 dedis are so good. I got one myself a week before christmas also running Proxmox. I wish everyone who gets an account much fun playing with it.

    @Not_Oles did you install Proxmox through the install script or from iso?

    Hi @buddermilch!

    I installed Proxmox via installimage. The entire time from order placement through server delivery through completion of the Proxmox install took only a few minutes. Congrats to @Hetzner_OL for their super fast delivery and installation!

    Hope you continue to enjoy your i9! I am sure you will!

    Friendly greetings!

    BTW @Not_Oles consider limiting access to port 111 to localhost or known IPs because you will get funny abuse letters from the BSI (hetzner won't do anything but the BSI will send notices through abuse@hetzner all the time). It's listening to all addresses using the standard Proxmox config.

    Thanks! :)

    Hi @yoursunny!

    I really, really, really wanna say "not enough," just as a joke, for fun. :) But, if I did say "not enough," you would just list ten more, or more than ten more, or many more than ten more! :)

    I believe I already might have the info I need to make you a container on the i9-9900K. Hope I can make it correctly, or at least, if I don't, that you catch and correct all my mistakes. I will be in touch, eventually.

    Thanks so much for all your wonderful contributions to our community and to the future of internet networking! <3

    Best!

    @yoursunny Seems like you might be done testing. Do you want to do anything more with the test container? Thanks for helping! :)

  • Not_OlesNot_Oles Hosting ProviderContent Writer

    Hello!

    I added the first account and its container today. Maybe I also got the 16 TB hard disk set up today, but I haven't tested it yet.

    @yoursunny is still credentialed on the test container, so the node now has two containers in total. When @yoursunny is finished testing, I will take back the test container and give him his own container if he still wants it.

    Probably I might add another new account or two tomorrow and then maybe another one or two the next day. Several people are waiting. Thank you guys for being patient!

    Friendly greetings!

    P.S. Is it too crazy to get an EX100 or even an RX220? Both of these are expensive. Anybody want to go in with me? Thanks!

  • You can delete the test container already.

    I just tried Docker.
    It works, but the crummy /128 means Docker networking will not work properly.
    Can you setup routed /112?

    Thanks for helping test! The test container has been shutdown. It will get deleted and replaced, maybe tomorrow.

    It would be very helpful if you could please explain briefly why Docker networking does not work with the on-link /128.

    I am delighted to try setting up routed /112 for you! Thanks for asking! Indeed, maybe it might be better if all the containers got routed /112?

    Setting up routed containers with Proxmox might take me awhile because I have not tried it before.

    If you want to speed things up, one way would be to provide a hint or a link about how to do it. I took a quick look and found routed lxc setup.

    Another way to go faster would be to ask for administrative access to the node and set it up yourself. But I am equally happy to try it all by myself.

    It is getting a little late here, so I will be sleeping before too long. I am expecting a wonderful day tomorrow! Because, hopefully, I will be able to learn a little more. I send you friendly greetings! :)

    Hi @subenhon!

    It's been a pleasure to have you on the Fremont server! I am delighted to add you on the Proxmox server as well!

    For the Proxmox server I do try a little harder to complete my "due diligence." Therefore, would you please email the following to the address on my LES profile?

    • Name IRL
    • LES username
    • Address
    • Phone
    • Numerical IPv4 or IPv6 address which you want to use for your administrative access to the server
    • Linux distribution you want inside your LXC container
    • ed25519 ssh public key

    It might take me a while to add you, because I am going slowly, but I look forward to it! Thanks for asking!

    Best wishes from Sonora!

    I think it'd be really cool to play with the RX220, but practically I don't think it's a sensible choice at all.

    AFAIK, there's no way of doing full virtualisation, so the only way would be using docker-style containers, so I personally would be very suspicious about putting any kind of user data on there even if you did try to segregate people, and honestly it's not worth paying out the cash to play with unless you're going to do anything actually useful with it.

    As you can get 4 cores of ARM free on Oracle, that's probably the most sensible route in if you really want to play with ARM...

  • @Not_Oles said:
    It would be very helpful if you could please explain briefly why Docker networking does not work with the on-link /128.

    Docker doesn't have good IPv6 support.
    In my deployments, I give a public IPv6 address to each container, which is the least amount of fuss.

    docker network create --ipv6 \
      --opt com.docker.network.bridge.name=d0ipv6 \
      --subnet=172.26.0.0/16 --subnet=2001:db8:e3af:d2af:1100:d0d0::/112 \
      ipv6exposed
    docker run -it --rm --network ipv6exposed alpine
    

    Indeed, maybe it might be better if all the containers got routed /112?

    Yes, give each LXC container the largest allocation you could afford.
    If the physical server has /64, each LXC container should get /80.

    Setting up routed containers with Proxmox might take me awhile because I have not tried it before.

    The manual setup is adding these to a script:

    ip neigh add 2001:db8:e3af:d2af:1100::1 lladdr f2:2a:57:ab:1b:a6 dev brlink
    ip route add 2001:db8:e3af:d2af:1100::/80 dev brlink via 2001:db8:e3af:d2af:1100::1 onlink
    

    If the physical service doesn't have routed IPv6, you also need ndpresponder to turn the onlink subnet into routed subnet.

    So, welcome to MetalVPS in Falkenstein!

    Thanks, managed to log into my container now.

    One tiny little thing I noticed is that the pre-installed /etc/resolv.conf contains 2 IPv4 nameservers and 1 IPv6 nameserver. However, as the container is IPv6 only, those IPv4 nameservers aren't that useful, so should probably be removed ("host" actually doesn't automatically fall back to the IPv6 nameserver)

    Hi! Thanks for mentioning the nameserver issue. Another issue is, your container was made before I added the hard disk to the node. Probably we can add the hard disk to your container if you want? Anything more, please let me know! Nothing is too small or too little. I want everything as close to perfect for you as possible! Thanks again!

    There's a fork of Proxmox for Raspberry Pi's, I wonder if it'll run on those RX220 servers:
    https://github.com/pimox/pimox7

    But yeah, Oracle Cloud already does free ARM instances to play with, and getting 2 x AX101's is the better value.

    @yoursunny said: Docker doesn't have good IPv6 support.

    May I please ask what are the most significant IPv6 support features which might be improved or added to Docker?

    Also, might it be better for you to run your Docker container directly on the i9 server node rather than inside LXC?

    I'm 100% okay with the /112 subnet deployment. Nevertheless,

    • assumiing the goal is to have one WAN IPv6 address for your LXC container and another WAN IPv6 address for the Docker container that you make inside your LXC container,

    • could this be set up with two IPv6/128 addresses both talking to the node and with each other in the link layer?

    Thanks, as always, for your helpful comments! When I get a chance, I will try setting up the /112 on a new container for you. When we get your /112 working, then everybody can have a /112.
