Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS?
-
Oh, OK. I should have elaborated.
Yes, agreed. It's so difficult to secure NFS that it's best to treat it like a local connection and just lock it right down, physically and logically.
When i can, I use iscsi, but tuned NFS is almost as fast. I have a much higher workload than op, and i still am unable to bottleneck.
-
Have you ever used NFS in a larger production environment? Many companies coming from VMware have expensive SAN systems and Proxmox doesn't have great support for iscsi
-
Yes, i have. Same security principles in 2005 as today.
Proxmox iscsi support is fine.

Last time I had a problem with ceph losing data was during 0.10, does it still happen?

But NFS has mediocre snapshotting capabilities (unless his setup also includes >10g nics)
-
NFS + Kerberos?
But everything I read about NFS amd so on: You deploy it on a dedicated storage LAN and not in your usual networking LAN.
-
At least something that's distributed and fail safe (assuming OP targets this goal).
And if proxmox doesnt support it natively, someone could probably still config it local on the underlying debian OS. -
And if you need to mount a directory over SSH, I can recommend rclone and its mount subcommand.
-
I assume you are referring to Filesystem Snapshotting?
For what reason do you want to do that on the client and not on the FS host? -
I'm using ceph on my proxmox cluster but only for the server data, all my jellyfin media goes into a separate NAS using NFS as it doesn't really need the high availability and everything else that comes with ceph.
It's been working great, You can set everything up through the Proxmox GUI and it'll show up as any other storage for the VMs. You need enterprise grade NVMEs for it though or it'll chew through them in no time. Also a separate network connection for ceph traffic if you're moving a lot of data.
Very happy with this setup.

I have my NFS storage mounted via 2.5G and use qcow2 disks. It is slow to snapshot...
Maybe I understand your question wrong?

Generally yes, but it can be useful as a learning thing. A lot of my homelab use is for purposes of practicing with different techs in a setting where if it melts down it's just your stuff. At work they tend to take offense of you break prod.
