thanks for the info... I'm thinking of sticking with just Debian (as my simple usecase) and use virsh commands..
Okay 👍 Thanks for your suggestions. Think I'll just stick with Debian 🙂
haven't thought about it. I guess I'll learn some bash :)
BTW what is a good OS for the VM host? many here are running proxmox... would you recommend it for this purpose of bash automation to bring up VMs?
Thanks.. Just for clarification, you can use Ansible to control Proxmox as well.. and automate the entire VM bring up?
Hi, I have a home server (basically a NAS) currently running Debian. Basically it's configuration is as follows
-
debian host running 3 VMs
-
debian running inside each VM as docker host
I just manually install KVM on the host then docker on each VM after creating each of them. I documented the process so I know how to replicate it in case I need to rebuild.
I now dream of being able to automate the rebuild process using config files. I know this is done using Ansible.
But I've now heard of Talos.. (A thin layer for kubernetes) and intrigued. But I suppose I need a setup for the VM host to achieve automation through config files..
What setup are you guys using?
Thank you.

Thanks for all your suggestions! I've chosen to go with just bash scripting (given my simple setup) and keep the setup as it is.. Just gotta learn bash and virsh :)
Thanks for the addition. It's also mentioned in that original blog post I linked in the article.
I understand what you mean. It's become a habit of mine lately, and I learn lots in the discussion to.
In my defence I did run some tests and confirm it's functioning.

Yes that's how I'm automating it, and it's noted in the blog I highlighted. Your point about post down does make sense 😕
Like I said ip6 is useless when it comes to torrenting. Even if the tracker supports it it's not persavive with users connecting to you.
Oh cool. I couldn't find any info on doing this. And struggled lots at I don't understand Iptables
I dunno about him; but genuinely I'm excited about AI. Blows my mind each passing day ;)
Oh of you didn't want to mess with hardware setups, them it makes sense.
FYI, there are nas cases like the jonsbo, and Celeron processors that you can build entirely fanless too.
Hmm I see, you can always temporarily disconnect the drives too.
Thanks for the feed back. I started out with that post I referenced in my article, which had fewer entries. It didn't work. Caveat was although the online port checkers were reporting the port as open, it was not actually making through the tunnel!
I actually solved it by asking chatgpt!! I put in the suggestions and it worked. I'm also no expert on creating iptables, but once it was in place it seemed self explanatory.
I ran netcat as client-server to test it actually worked.
Huh, good to know. I'm out remember some of us have traffic in the TBs pretty month!
Haha incredible for a learning project 😄. Shining example of UX imo. Thanks
What 😂 I don't believe it couldn't get any more minimalist than this...
That's right 👍 it doesn't even do notifications, although I wish it did!
So I've just found out about Lemmy. (Although I'm a big FOSS enthusiast)
Choose this app for my Android device, and boy nothing beats it's minimalism!
Yeah it's a popular choice for various things. But wouldn't it be against TOS using it for p2p and that amount of traffic?
For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.
