Is there a tutorial to setting this up on VM (Proxmox)

[mozarik]

I dont see any tutorial to setting this up on VM. Like maybe i need to change some setting ?

Is the sandbox sufficient for testing?

If not, there's no tutorial yet, but a PR is welcomed, you can put it in docs/tutorials. There's a rough guide here (for RPi, but should be the same for VM).

thank you for responding

Currently i have 3 old laptop that i connected to proxmox as node. I try the sandbox for testing and play with it. But i need it some kind of production thingy. So i can use the cloudflare tunnel.

Will be asked a lot in this issue. if u dont mind. and of course will make some PR about setting it up using proxmox.

Thank you

FWIW - I was able to get this stood-up all through Hyper-V (I haven't tried ProxMox or any other hypervisor); I provisioned 4 empty VM's across two separate Windows hosts via Terraform on the same VLAN. Hyper-V is configured on each host to provide a MAC address from a pre-determined pool/range upon creation, but I was able to take it a step further by having the Terraform output the MAC addresses specifically into 'prod.yml' for the metal setup prior to the 'make configure' step.

The only thing I couldn't get was the WoL but that was far from a deal breaker - I just triggered a reboot on all the masters/worker via Powershell once the PxE server came online and each node grabbed the respective bootloader without issue.

The controller/PXE host was also running on one of the Hyper-V hosts as well inside Ubuntu Server. Unfortunately I don't have any form of writeup, but I can say that it is possible to run this entire repo across VM's instead of pure metal, but YMMV with different HV's. 😄

Kinda late but now I have a staging environment on Proxmox, it works basically the same as bare-metal, you'll need:

• No boot ISO

• Set BIOS to UEFI (and disable Add EFI Disk)

• Use bridge network the VMs can get their IP addresses from LAN (I think this is the default in Proxmox)

As @llajas mentioned we can't use WoL in Proxmox, you'll need to turn them on manually.

I don't use this in my "production" environment so it's unlikely that I'll maintain documentation for it, but an article in ./docs/how-to-guides/ is welcomed 😄
