Running in Proxmox in my Fanless Server in my RV

[sdacheson78]

Hello ALL

This project is awesome. I usually just make a simple VM with lubuntu running speedify on my proxmox server sitting in front of my opnsense router.

This changed the game for me. I am running Starlink eth1, Tmobile eth2, VZ eth3. I have proxmox take in the USB devices (eth2/3) and put them into bridges so my other VM's can access them directly as needed.

I converted the VMware image in proxmox using the covert tool and it just worked.
I'm running with 2G of memory(probably overkill), AES-NI on, 2 sockets and 2 cores.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANKYOU. I will be giving this to ALL my RV friends and work and live full time on the road.

also I've just upgraded to a cluster with CEPH and I run the server above and 2 WYSE 5060's and that also works moving the VM around between all clustered PCs with each WAN and a LAN (12 VLANS) the same on each device and configured in proxmox.

'm so happy to have found this posting. I know it is a bit older, but I have been struggling with getting my QOTOM setup the best way possible. I too am a full time RV'er so I'm sure we share some of the same struggles. Do you have each of the connections on separate VLANS or just Static on the same network? I wasn't sure if I should have them all with static IP's and only use one for DHCP for the entire network or not -- any help based on your own config would be greatly appreciated.

I have a bridge setup for each network I run in proxmox.

1 bridge for Verizon connection. I then put the verizon NIC and add bridge to speedify
1 bridge for starlink connection. Same as above
1 bridge for connection out to opnsense
1 bridge for each iot, clients, guest, services

Opnsense uses the connection to speedify as a WAN. I then have 4 internal VLANS for services, iot, clients, guests that is run by speedify.

I like opnsense better, but use speedify for for its awesomeness. With this I can also bypass speedify if I want and add more wans to opnsense when I want to go direct without vpn.

Thank you so much. I'm working on this tonight to see how far I can get.
