Woah, that’s kinda big? Always though qemu didn’t work on arm or something like that.

Guests being limited to ARM keeps me from just adding a raspi to my lenovo tiny cluster, but still. Excited to see what’s to come

Edit:

Q: Can I run Proxmox VE on a Raspberry Pi or a similar single-board computer?

A: No. An arm64 host must boot through UEFI and describe its hardware through ACPI. Device-tree-only boards and legacy boot are not supported.

He doesn’t mention whether they support multiple devices unless I missed something. Do you need one for each?

On what level do you want HA? With Proxmox, you can get HA VMs. For HA containers, you could consider kubernetes, though that’s pretty complex. I think Docker Swarm could be an option.

On the first glance, the breaking changes don’t apply to my setup. I’ll try to update when I have time for potential tinkering though.

Here’s a structured overview of the (breaking) changes: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/whatsnew/whats-new-in-v13-0/#breaking-changes

For that money you should be able to find a used Lenovo tiny p320 with 32GB. You can remove the GPU (was able to sell mine for 40€) and then you have a PCIe slot for further NICs or whatever you’re going to need.

All the ones you mentioned work fine. Prioritize RAM over CPU (any quadcore will be sufficient really).

One thing they easily overlooked in these is the some of them support vPro, meaning you can connect like with a KVM to them even when they’re “turned off”. It depends on their chipset.

Re 4.) Some better ISP routers have a built in VPN option. I’m using the wireguard and DynDNS that comes with my router (FritzBox).

Also there’s !minilab@lemmy.world but it’s not very active and while this community (homelab) isn’t exactly overflowing with posts I think having minilab stuff here is fine.

I’ve been mostly using this list to get an idea which brands sell stuff in my country: https://old.reddit.com/r/minilab/comments/1g1nto6/offtheshelf_10_gear_guide/

And the search function on printables.com for device specific rackmounts
