This repository contains Ansible playbooks to manage the server hosting lab environment. The server is intended to run on best effort basis meaning it does not have any availability strategy and if it gets into a state which is difficult to recover from, it can be easily reinstalled and reconfigured using these playbooks.
- Install Proxmox from the official ISO image with the configuration below:
- Disk: ZFS with RAID0 (all disks)
- Country: Czechia
- Timezone: Europe/Prague
- Password: any, just watch out for english keyboard layout when typing numbers
- E-mail: anything
- Hostname: anything
- IP Address: 10.1.8.10/24
- Gateway: 10.1.8.1
- Remove previous SSH keys in case you have re-created the lab using the
yarn clear-keyscommand - If it's a fresh install, initialize the server using the
yarn run initcommand - Apply playbooks using the
yarn applycommand - After the playbooks have been applied, install the individual Proxmox lab VMs through Proxmox UI with the configuration below:
- Disk: ZFS with RAID0
- Country: Czechia
- Timezone: Europe/Prague
- Password: any, just watch out for english keyboard layout when typing numbers and make sure all nodes have the same password
- E-mail: pve<X>@lab.<domain>
- Hostname: pve<X>.lab.<domain>
- IP Address: 10.1.8.1<X>/24
- Gateway: 10.1.8.1
- Turn the individual nodes into a Proxmox cluster (there's currently no good way to automate this)
