look at the starlabs starlite mk v instead. the pine hardware is mostly suited for developer.

proxmox backup server

i guess that this is the recommended solution. i try pbs out and see how i can improve from there. thanks for your input!

thx for that write up. seems i didnt understand you correctly the first time (english is not my native language). i already used all pci-slots with sata extensions and a nic. its just a mini atx board with a n100 cpu, so my options are limited. i could mirror the disk to a sata ssd though.

i need to look into duplicati. never heard of it before. i guess best thing noe is to install pbs and look from there. my goal would be to have one copy of my data on site and one in another place.

so two pbs would be overkill?

My Mainboard only supports a single nvme-drive. thats why i store the os and the data of my vm/lxc on it. everything else are good old hdd. is it possible to restore this drive, if i install pbs as a lxc on this very drive?

sorry, i tried to read through some guids already and the more i read the more im confused /(

while the machines are physicaly next to esch other i also runy whole home automation over zwave. the reason i have 2 machines currently is that the media server used to run truenas and i virtualized everything there. since truenas deprecated its public build repository i wanted to replace it with open media vault, but since i dont really used shares i figured that proxmox would be better suited. so i set up a machine where i host all the services until i figure out how i want to run my media-server.

i still need to find a way to setup a simple sambashare via a web gui and a good backup solution.

How does it work if my ssd dies, where proxmox boot and the lvm for the containers is located on? Would i have to reinstall proxmox + pbs again and then id be able to restore the disk again? or do i habe to install pbs on another drive altogether and then id be able to restore my boot drive + lvm?

the machines are located next to each other and i run 2 currently because 1 was originally a truenas server and the other one a proxmox-server with my services. Since truenas stopped publishing its open source code to github i reinstalled it with proxmox. im also just started setting everything up and i wanted to have my services running while i figure out how i want to run my media server. originally i tried open media vault instead of truenas, but since i virtualize stuff like jellyfin anyways i thought that running that directly in proxmox is easier.

if that n100 cpu can run everything i need on the media server, i want to move the containers over. otherwise the two n100 machines stay.

glad i could help :) have not stumbled over another issue yet, but i only use that machine for gaming, so the use cases are limited.

i bought a intel n100 board with used 4gb of ram and an used ssd. then i bought 1 nic with poe for the wan (5g antenna with integrated modem) and second nic for a dmz.

also i tried opnsense but switched to ipfire, because it offers all i need in a much simpler package.

cost was arround 300€. tbh i would just buy a simple mini pc with enough nics, but couldnt find one with poe to a good price.

i mean it still sucks compared to reselling, but its possible to share your library on steam with friends at least.

best store would be gog but as a gamer on linux its not as easy as it should be.

so i tried it and it works, but i had to run the command as sudo to get it running. Otherwise it couldnt install the flatpak as user. user has not enough permission or something was the error code.

i installed it following a guide from the bluefin forum i thinky there it was installed via rpm-ostree, which was amazing because it used all my previous settings. the revase itself also was quite ez, but i changed first to bluefin, then to bluefin-dx and lastly to margine.

the only thing that didnt work was the margine-gaming suite. i got an error where it couldnt find the flatpak for steam. the margine-gaming-native worked and it also recognized all game-installs from bazzite that way.

is it possible to install sunshine like im bazzite with ujust setup sunshine?

is it possible to rebase from bazzite to margine?
