Hi, thanks for awesome tutorial, as always! Is there a way that you do an another video of how to install LXC containers on RPi4? As I can't find any LXC containers that based on arm architecture so it's impossible to use them on RPi. Or I don't know something... So that's why your help would be awesome! :) Also, you might provide how to install it on LVMthin storage, so that you can create snapshots too. Thanks!

Hi ... great work, and thanks for your vids! As best as I can tell, PiMox isn't compatible with Bullseye. I read something about ZFS and using a different kernel, but that's all above my pay grade Can you verify this? If that's true, are there any workarounds, or is it a "hurry-up-and-wait" situation? Thanks oodles and gobs!
@novaspirit - does this wipe the host OS build or can it run as a Daemon on top of an existing build that is already doing other things? I haven't worked with proxmox before only esxi
joining a node/cluster works as the 3rd node to control the other 2 x64 in my case, as does installing ceth (dont know how to use it yet) as does adding a cif NAS storage from datacentre to all nodes. now how to snap this proxpi to the nas mount
Can anyone confirm if you can use this as a quorum device for a Proxmox cluster? I have 3 servers and would like to power down 2 of them here and there.
Yes, I do that. I have a R720 which is the main server, a R430 which I turn on sometimes, and so I havr a RPi4 running PiMox so that it can give quorum when the R430 is not turned on.
seems a bad idea. with the pi you would have 4 servers and can end up in a split brain situation. or not geht quorum, i think you need MORE than 50% for quorum.
