This simple HowTo guides you through the process to place new VMs (in this example FreeBSD 14 will be used, you can use any other ones) in a Proxmox cluster by ensuring the VMs will be placed on the best node in the cluster according to the resource usage of the nodes. Afterwards, Terraform with the BPG provider will deploy the VM in the cluster, where the hostname and node are provided in a dynamic way.

X: Probably still my favorite platform but it’s getting worse and worse. At least, my lists and circles are fully functional, the search works quite good and brings me up the desired content. Finding new people gets different and is almost only possible when they commenting things with valuable content. The stream is going in the wrong direction (at least for me), where videos of fights, death or typical “sex sells” posts are shown. But working with communities and lists is still a great way to use it.

Fediverse: Runningm my own instance here for month. Sure no ads, but just a few interactions, finding new content is difficult, using the search is the probably worst experience ever. Sure, an instance cannot have knowledge of all instances in the world but when searching for not even niche content and only finding three posts that are even outdated, this is not useful or a great experience.

Threads: Could have been a great alternative. However, EU accounts do not support Fedi federation and the content is too mainstream in form of the typical Instagram content which is more about “sex sells”.

Blue sky: Anyone really still using it? I haven’t seen anyone anymore there being active.

Nostr: Hm yeah, too nichy.

Conclusion:
X stays on top, because only there I can find and interact content and people. Feediverse is a great alternative when you finally found your matching community where people are sharing your interests, because finding something by the search is just annoying. I can clearly understand why many ones are going back to Twitter/Y.

Umfrage der Woche!

Hallo liebe #Follower und alle die im #Fediverse zu Hause sind.

Habt IHR im Internet einen eigenen Server am Laufen. Wenn ja, was läuft darauf?

DANKESCHÖN

#Linux #OpenSource #Freiheit #KeinMicrosoft #Umfrage #server

Mehrfachauswahl möglich!

- SLACC with prefix > /64
- DHCPv6 setups
- Firewalling ICMP6 can be annoying when not understanding the backgrounds with RA ADV / NDP / RS
- AutoConf and Temp addresses may be confusing (mostly default active)
- …

IPv6 is not just IPv4 with longer addresses, it is really a different protocol.

happy to hear and thank you very much - really appreciated! The project started initially for another one of my project (BoxyBSD.com - which offers free VMs for the opensource community, education and IPv6 learning) where VMs are used in completely different ways. Some VMs simply idle, some are just being used for testing, some are heavily beding used for opensource projects including compiling etc. So, this was the reason to me to create something like a load balancer. BoxyBSD is mostly based on #Proxmox and #bhyve (on #FreeBSD).

Later, a customer asked me if there's something similar to #DRS (in #VMware) for Proxmox. This made me to polish it up and make it available to everyone. I think it's a great opportunity to make a huge movement to opensource products in the current situation. I also said it at the #FrOSCon #conference last week, we can now really make a change in the virtualization section and set a baseline to #opensource products - just like the most of the base infrastructure in the internet.

In diesem Sinne - vielen Dank noch mal und einen schönen Abend :)

Spätestens wenn es dann mit dem Basic-Debugging nicht mehr klappt, steht man vor den Problemen. Debugging von basis Netzproblemen oder basis Diensten usw. - heute ist es nur noch das Helm Chart ausrollen und paar Sachen verknüpfen, aber wehe darunter klappt was nicht. Und das dürfte bald zu einem tatsächlichen Problem werden.

Du warst ja gestern ebenfalls im FlyingCircus Netzwerk Talk, sowohl das Konzept, als auch die Realisierung und Debugging von solchen Setups ist dann bereits ein massives Problem.

This ensures, that nodes in a Proxmox cluster are being automatically patched. Therefore, ProxLB now also comes with its own API which provides other nodes to identify the current state of other nodes in cluster. By this, we're finally able to keep nodes aware of potential maintenance windows when being patched and to move workloads away to other nodes in a balanced way and honouring the resources. Also, we can identify if a system reboot for the newly installed packages is required and skip moving those workloads away. However, I want to have everything done by the Proxmox API or ProxLB API which requires me to extend the Proxmox API by the new features. I try to get those into upstream to avoid maintaining a dedicated packages providing this extended features in the Proxmox API. I'm happy to see people testing this feature, please do NOT use this on production systems right now.

#BSD #RunBSD #BSDCafe #BSDNetwork #BSDCommunity

Friends of #BSDCafe,
until today, I have been using Bunny.net DNS for the BSD Cafe. They are cheap and fast, but the panel sometimes isn't working, and I don't think they support IPv6, effectively limiting services to some IPv4 dependency.

About an hour ago, I moved to (for now) two dedicated DNS servers on two FreeBSD jails, managed with PowerDNS. I still have some things to fine-tune, but we're on the right track.
Stay tuned!

@gyptazy #BSDCafe #BSDNetwork #BSDCommunity #opensource

Stay tuned!

#DragonFlyBSD @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe

Free VPS?! #BoxyBSD did it for you - the opensource community and BSD fans!

Recently, we also started to provide #ARM64 based VPS, just next to the typical #AMD64 ones. Unfortunately, we reached today our limit for the ARM64 ones and can only provision amd64 ones.

I’m already looking to solve this quickly. Also to mention, we still have a very limited #RISCV64 alpha. But this one is really limited because there’s still no H flagged board available, which means #RV64 users run on a dedicated Vision Five 2 board.

Hope this update finds you well! Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,
@gyptazy

Stefano is doing a great job handling all the things in the BSDCafe. Keep in mind, he’s doing everything on his own. From sponsoring the needed hardware, putting all the efforts into it from a technical perspective, being active in the community, joining all the things, doing moderation in the right way,… everything as a one man show. Do I see there issues? Yes, but only from the point of view that people aren’t honoring it.

So, a big thank you @stefano@bsd.cafe

Evolving the BSD Cafe Network Setup: From Bridging to Routing With FreeBSD

https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/08/01/evolving-bsd-cafe-from-bridging-to-routing/

#FreeBSD #BSDCafe #Wireguard #VPN #Routing #IT #SysAdmin #FIB #Zerotier #NoteHUB

CC: @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe

Really happy to hear :)

When people ask me how I can provide such a service, they mostly inly think about the hardware and the costs. Trust me, that’s the least of the problems! Running such a service is more about avoiding and handling service abuses. Free services tend to be abused by people and this is the most difficult part - protection!

But let’s have a short look at the things…

Passion (why?):
The passion and idea behind this project is probably the most interesting part. I can clearly remember the time back in the days when I started in tech and had even then an outdated, slow and rarely working system. It was pure pain to work with it, but luckily it did somehow its job. However, doing more difficult thinks were mostly impossible: Higher loads led into shutdowns - I had to undervolt the system, write kernel modules for undervolting support (which were really appreciated in the community) but also all other resources didn’t gave me the possibility to run more exiting things. Renting a „cheap“ server (back in that day virtual server were not really known and the first implementations based on chroots like OpenVZ were coming years later) was impossible to me. So, learning in real-life scenarios was mostly impossible to me and made everything more difficult. I really know and remember these times where I had to deal somehow with limitations. This is good but also bad. The good thing is, you become really creative into finding solutions and get really nit picky about improving things. The other thing is, it makes your life really hard. With BoxyBSD I want to provide passionated and interested people the opportunity to get at least a system where they can learn and educate. They get a fully usable VM where they can configure, run and use the system how they like (unless they’re not violating the ToS). They have a public IPv6 address (and even a whole additional /64 network) to also learn and practice more complex network solutions. They can run servers, learn how things for their future. Often they quickly find out why a PTR is needed for sending mails (sure, you can also define your reverse DNS at BoxyBSD) but also why firewalling ICMP6 isn’t a great idea (at least you want to have RA & ND active). Things you mostly learn the hard wary in real life setups. But BoxyBSD is also about more - it’s also about supporting the #opensource community. BoxyBSD also sponsors opensource projects like #Freeway, #Telescope & #GameOfTrees. And everything at zero costs!

Resources (how?):

Resources are probably the thing that mostly pops up in the mind of people when hearing about this service and yes - it of course requires a lot of resources since I’m providing full VMs for each user without any over provisioning in memory or disk which are too volatile in this project. But the resources are often already present. In this case, I already have my own labs based on #Proxmox and #bhyve which are built in a fully productional way. This gives me the possibility to provide resource left overs to this project. Also, there are sponsors like Moritz from @nerdscavehosting@mastodon.social who sponsors nodes which are dedicated used to this project. Next to this, the question is about another resource - time! The whole infrastructure if fully automated by simply choosing the desired OS and pressing „create VM“ everything else in handled fully automatically. A desired node is obtained by my side project (ProxLB - in a customised version to also support bhyve hosts), the VM created and a the IP address returned. That’s it - easy!

Protection (the real issue):
The real issue is about people that’s going to abuse the service. This was something I had to learn the hard way. In the first iteration it was simply fully #FreeBSD #Jails based with a very simple interface where you just inserted your SSH pub key and immediately got returned an address of a Jail (if you’re interested, that was the first version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geOS4LTCwok). This was a way too easy and people immediately used it for sending spam mails. I had to take some actions but also didn’t want to block whole ports to make services unusable. Therefore, I had some other ideas which worked out very well, like forcing to use a relay with rate limiting. Today, BoxyBSD grew up, is running ob full fledged VMs providing users and developers the possibility to modify kernel and to have more deep possibilities to learn and test. By only providing images for #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD (and #illumos / #OpenSolaris) the community and targeted people is smaller than usual. Also software that is written by Scriptkiddies often does not work out of the box on BSD based systems and needs (honestly only small) adjustments. But that’s also often already a reason not to abuse such services. It still may occur that someone is unintentionally doing bad things, generating a lot of traffic (like two weeks ago where someone made 2Gbps traffic for over 12 hours) but usually, this isn’t any problem. Proactive monitoring already notifies me (that’s the only thing where I need to step in) and validate to take actions if someone might be harmed or services affected.

In the end, I like to see that the community is more like a family where things are being used like their own ones. People even come in touch with me and letting me know that they don’t need the VM anymore and to free up the resources for other ones - that’s something I really love to see! Sometimes they come simply back when they need something again and get their new VM. I really love the BSD community and especially the #BSDCafe (https://bsd.cafe) and #BSDNetwork (https://bsd.network). Things can be simple!

Allerdings hat Proxmox eigenes HA eben nur sehr rudimentäre Möglichkeiten, als auch das es sich nicht für jedes Setup eignet oder gar nutzbar wäre. Das fängt mit Bugs an, die nicht in ältere Versionen gebackported werden an, aber auch dass man ggf. gar nicht für jede VM HA feature nutzen möchte, aber dennoch die Nodes vernünftig ausbalancieren möchte.

Aber das ist vermutlich eine gute Idee als ein Feature die Gruppen zu alignen.

Das gleiche gilt auch für das Gegenteil, sodass du auch Gruppen erstellen kannst, wo VMs zusammen auf einen Hypervisor gelegt werden sollen, oder eben auch gänzlich ignoriert werden sollen.

🎊 Happy Birthday, BSD Cafe! 🎂

It's been exactly one year since I decided to announce my idea to the world: the BSD Cafe.

The name was chosen in December 2022, but the project had been in my mind for quite some time. I envisioned a virtual space of serenity, well-being, constructiveness, and inclusivity.
A place where we are all FOR something (the BSDs, exchanging ideas, growth, community, mutual support), not AGAINST something – a sentiment far too common in today's polarized world.

And on 20 July 2023, almost impulsively, I launched the project, migrating my account from my previous private Mastodon instance and announcing it on Mastodon and Twitter.

I never imagined what would happen next.

The reception was incredible – many people joined, numerous registrations, and a lot of encouragement. The BSD Cafe has become a wonderful virtual place. Every time I open Mastodon (I use the PWA on my phone, not an app), or Element, or one of the BSD Cafe tools, I think of something good, constructive, and beautiful.

The BSD community is fantastic – people who are mentally and technologically mature and balanced, eager to exchange ideas and opinions, ready to teach and learn something new every day. Minds thirsty for knowledge.

I believe we have an extraordinary passion and that open source allows us to do everything without significant financial outlays. And this, in my opinion, is truly democratic and revolutionary in this stark world.

My contribution aims to be precisely this: a place where all patrons, BSD users or not, can feel relaxed and fulfilled. There's a table for everyone at the BSD Cafe, and many friends ready to spend quality time together.

After exactly one year, I can draw some conclusions.
Managing the BSD Cafe has not been complex. Users are always ready to advise and test, and their behaviour is generally very good. Occasionally, I receive some reports – some exaggerated, others I try to understand and resolve. In a year, I had to, reluctantly, remove only two users. One in the very early days: they had an exclusively negative attitude – even against me – and we risked being defederated by many instances I care about. Fortunately, the admin friends at BSD.network gave me an overview, and I understood the situation well. The second user I had to remove was...a bot. So I feel at peace with my conscience.

Throughout this year, many friends have joined, and now the BSD Cafe hosts many people and projects. The Mastodon instance, Matrix, Brew (git), the RSS readers and other services are fully active and used daily by hundreds of users. The BSD Pub Meeting, managed by @gyptazy and now part of the BSD Cafe menu, has also allowed us to talk and see each other in a relaxed context.
Like friends at the Pub.
Like friends in a Cafe.

So, happy birthday, BSD Cafe!

Happy birthday to users, friends, and supporters. I hope the BSD Cafe has brought even a fraction of the joy, well-being, and positivity to you all that it has brought to me in this past year. And all this is thanks to you all because a Cafe without people is a sad and lonely place.

Here is a link to the original project announcement, exactly one year ago: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/110746126447161217
