    You know what I love about your videos? You get straight to the point with little to no bullshit along the way. So many times I have found tutorials online where the creator will talk about his life story before getting to the first step.
    Not you, sir. You get straight to the point so that everyone's time is not wasted. I really appreciate you and your expertise. I have to find your Patreon or whatever you use to take donations.

    It should be noted that if you create a cluster with only two nodes, if a single node goes down you will NOT be able to access your panel at all. Because of how the quorum system works, if half your nodes are down, the entire cluster stops working and goes read-only. For small home setups you probably DON'T want to cluster your nodes. Just keep multiple bookmarks in your browser.

      I think its manageable as long as i make sure to frequently backup stuff and just be prepared that if one of the two stops working i would need to start from scratch

      @@rajivvishwa proxmox is not designed to de-cluster. I did it and was doing some testing and can’t recall why exactly had to remove the second machine from the cluster and found out that you have to manually change a lot of code in proxmox and force remove the other machine from the list because it will still show and a lot of other issues because even when you try to clean it all up there’s remaining code in the main one that cant be easily fixed at the end had to reformat the main server and re-install. Luckily I am running a Proxmox backup server as well and was able to restore all the vm machines and online services I am running like a ecommerce website etc. Proxmox Backup Server is the most important thing you can add to your proxmox server hands down!

      Deleting the old cluster is easy, but I sometimes run into issues where is still thinks it’s in a cluster. Lot of the config and management is now saved in /etc/pve/cluster
      And if you delete that, thinking it will reset the cluster config, you’re in for a hassle

      @@gailsiebenaler7976 No, I ended up moving away from Proxmox and started using CasaOS. It doesn't give me HA, but I'm a home user. I really don't need HA at the moment.
      However, I think I will install Proxmox on a different x86 mini PC and do some different things with LXC. Proxmox is starting to be like that girlfriend you just can't say no to. No matter how many times we break up I keep coming back

    Is it possible to have multiple servers run a single VM with Proxmox? Like combining all their computing power into one system? As I see here, Proxmox cluster seems like it just combines the dashboards but the servers are still independent.

  • @aaronmathewson5522

    So in this example, clustering allows you to manage the other clusters from a “master” login… but not share resources with each other right?

  • @ZynthCode

    Holy Batman, I almost lost 10 nodes! After doing this, you might lose the "local-lvm" storage configuration. Without it, all nodes that use it will break and won't start.
    Good news: the data isn't deleted, just the configuration is overwritten. To fix it, manually re-add the storage:
    Go to Datacenter -> Storage -> Add.
    Select "LVM" (if it was LVM type) and use the same ID, "local-lvm."
    Defaults should be fine, but make sure it's not shared.
    If you don't remember the storage name/ID, check the Tasks error log for something like "Error: storage 'local-lvm' does not exist.

    At the part where you just deleted the .conf files of the Vms by cut-paste them via WinSCP, how come and you are sure the attributes of those files are carried away ? Usual this kind of copy requires special programs or parameters like robocoby. I believe that the attributes didn t passed to the other side (even though practically it seems Vms are working after the transfer again)

    All good then? The problem start when you want to remove a Node from a Cluster, be very careful how you setup nodes inside clusters, it can be your worst nightmare especially if you work on a Clients Infrastructure, you drop the ball in there you better know a quick exit like setting his Server room on "fire " by "accident" and then make sure the Fire Brigade wets those servers down properly so not a single one lives.
