This sounds really cool. Do you have any guides or notes on how to set this up? I've been looking for something to dive into for LLM and MCP.

Re:Proxmox VE: Import Wizard for Migrating VMware ESXi VMs on Wednesday March 27, 2024 @05:29PM (#39844803)
Does anyone have a good _basic_ guide on LVM/LVM Thin? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around LVM and moving the vmdk to it. Mainly a Window admin with some Linux experience.

I understand that LVM holds data in it but when I make a Windows VM in proxmox it stores the data in a LVM partition(?) as opposed to ESXi or Hyper-V making a VHD or VMDK.

Kinda confusing .

I remember the same issues but don't know why we had to enable IPX/SPX over TCP/IP. I have a specific memory of troubleshooting for an hour and then clicked IPS/SPX and StarCraft worked.

They have 12k feet of cables?

Any links to an ok $1 VPS that would work? I tried a few a while back and always have an issue with RAM.

What's the best way to go about clusters since I think you need 1gb RAM per node and lowest I've seen is $5.

Thanks

That's exactly what I want to do. Do you have any guides you used? I'm having a little trouble with nfs and docker permissions (guid/uid I think) trickling down to the nfs share in my Synology.
Thanks, looks very interesting.
