FOSDEM 2026 - The first day is over and I summarized the day...
Like always, I'm attending only the first day which mean the day begins very early in the morning. This year, #Sovereignty was clearly one of the most important topics, but I also had some great talks at the #Proxmox stand, with the guys at Vates ( #XCPng) and of course at the #FreeBSD and #illumos stand. Sadly, they were in the very last corner of the floor hall in building H. Hope they still got enough attention there!
You can find my notes about the first day in my blog post at: https://gyptazy.com/blog/fosdem-2026-opensource-conference-brussels/

Whats your approach for VMs (in #Proxmox or any other hypervisor) with large (1-2TB) Storage needs?
Currently I have an virtual #TrueNAS (with hardware pass-thru) which provides NFS/SMB Mounts for the other VMs. But this is not always possible depending on the hardware.
And creating large vDisks feels wrong.
A cluster-wide snapshot overview and cleanup for all guests in a #Proxmox cluster!
Makes it easy to spot old snapshots at a glance and clean them up before they cause trouble.
My PR was just merged, bringing my #ProxSnap idea into the #PegaProx project.
Really happy to contribute and see this feature become part of such a great tool. Nico, Marcus and Laura are doing great there!

#PegaProx as a multi-cluster, node & vm manager for #Proxmox based systems is just around the corner!
PegaProx steps in as a real manager with a feature set that you might already know from enterprise solutions which simplifies and standardizes the management of Proxmox based infrastructures.
Each capability focuses on reducing operational complexity while giving operators full control over clusters, nodes, storage, and virtual machines like:
This will become a game changer for Proxmox users - especially in enterprises which adds all the often requested but missing functions!
You can already find my first insights about it in my blog post: https://gyptazy.com/blog/pegaprox-real-datacenter-manager-proxmox-clusters/

Was hat das österreichische Wirtschaftsministerium mit dem #CCC gemeinsam? Na das da:
#Di_day #digitalesouveränität #DiD
Die erste Phase des Umstiegs auf freie Software ist mit der Migrattion zur #Nextcloud bereits abgeschlossen. Noch in diesem Quartal wird #Microsoft Sharepoint dekommissioniert
Es ist das Pilotprojekt dem alle anderen Ministerien in Ösi-Land folgen werden.

Im nächsten Schritt wird #VMware rausgeschmissen und durch die Open-Source-Lösung #proxmox ersetzt, die in Österreich entwickelt wurde.
Paradoxerweise spielt sich das alles in 1em ÖVP-geführten Ministerium ab. Der zuständige Staatssekrär für Digitales - ebenfalls ÖVP- hat // dazu mit EU-Kommissarin Henna Virkkunen [EPP] eine EU-Resolution zur digitalen Souveränität durchgesetzt.
I really love to see #Sylve in #FreeBSD allowing us to define CPU pinning with #bhyve! That's a missing piece in other "major" solutions... Well done!

Why rent computers when you can build the cloud at home? Say no to big tech and seize the means of computing the future :3

@zef Oh gosh, thanks a lot !
You use debian as OS on your server.
I'm building mine on a lenovo tiny also, and could'nt make my mind on what to use : so you clearly saved me a lot of time !
Thanks a lot, and very nice homelab you have here :)

I am powering up my self-assembled NAS for the first time and, of course, it is not working. I am panicking because I cannot return any of the components I am using… 🤯
The absolute first time I powered it up, it stayed on but the HDMI did not output anything, so I brutally unplugged the power (I am starting to regret I did this), and connected a USB with a Proxmox image on it.
Now, every time I plug in the power supply, the NAS powers for one second, than shuts off for two seconds, then it tries to boot again… It goes like this on and on and on…
Any tips to troubleshoot this?
Here are the components I am using:
- Case: Jonsbo N3
- 6× SATA 6 cables
- PSU: Chieftec CSN-450C 450W SFX 80 Plus Gold
- Topton N18 + Intel N150
- 2× RAM 16GB DDR5
- 2× HDD Seagate Ironwolf NAS 10TB
- UPS: BlueWalker Power Basic VI 1000 STL
