Introduction
This is the server that will sit under my desk until I move house. It has the hostname Pear.
Home Lab
The long term setup of Virtual Machines to keep things going. The main objective is is to have a self contained robust setup to allow me to leave the lab alone to hum away to itself and while i am away from home give me access to files and desktop PCs from any simple terminal that I happen to be near. More Details here.
Create Virtual Machine from a template
it is possible to create a new VM based on a fixed template. The two possibilities are a full clone or a linked clone. the linked clone is the preferred as it should need less storage but the full clone would be completely independent of the template so it will use more storage and take longer to create.We can go down that rabbit hole when we look ant Ansible in a big way. For now just understand that we can call a new vm using the qm clone command. the will be more details to follow.

Proxmox
Hardware Specification
Configuration
Access
The IP Address and port of the host is 192.168.0.110:8006. I have my virgin media router forwarding all incoming traffic to 192.168.0.125 so it will go directly to the Pfsense firewall. All of the terminals can also send traffic to the WAN port of Pfsense.
Storage
The main storage is the three 16TB hard drives configure into ZFS z1 so that they have one redundant disk. As one disk is redundant, obviously, it has 32TB of storage available.
I couldn't get PCI passthrough to work reliably without significant effort and some expense so I set up ZFS on Proxmox itself or more precisely on the Debian Linux that Proxmox resides on. Unfortunately, that means that I have to do any config on the CLI. I may write some scripts to perform some of the admin tasks or more likely setup a Nginx container to automate as much of it as possible.
