@x123 I'm using Forgejo + Forgejo Actions now. Used to use Gitea. No complaints! I would like to try Woodpecker CI or Drone CI though.

Also if you want to attest to the security, Codeberg is using Forgejo, so it's possible to run a public server reasonably securely.

@beeb I upgraded a couple weeks back, it was easy. Follow the guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_8_to_9

There are some gotchas if you're using Ceph, so take some time there. I'm not running a ceph cluster any longer so I went through a phase of disabling and removing ceph related packages. After that was done it was an easy process to check at every stage to make sure things would go smoothly.

One tip would be to use tmux on your sessions with any of your proxmox nodes, in case you lose connectivity with your session while longer running updates are happening. Also if you use the web shell, it sleeps or disconnects after a period of time which will strand your upgrades, so definitely use tmux. If not, at least use a more reliable shell connection than the web version(s): noVNC/Spice/xtermjs.

I see where you’re coming from but there is a huge range of goals for homelabbers. I personally learned a lot from running through several iterations of deploying kubernetes the hard way. Then running k3s after that let me focus on other things. Talos was another one I’ve gone through several iterations of to get the architecture right for me. Lastly deploying to EKS was useful learning as well due to the AWS ecosystem.

The easy path is the least likely to teach you something new. On the other hand not everyone needs to learn how to deploy, maintain, manage, and secure a Kubernetes cluster.

Cheaper solution than pikvm, mine arrived earlier this month after the kickstarter ended.

Only downside is it's inconvenient to install the tailscale client.

iDrac feels like antiquated overkill by comparison.
