I remember trying it out a couple years ago and it was okay. It is quite nice now.
I setup a 3 node cluster (non HA) last night.
My low power N3150 mother boards wouldn't run ESXi 6.0.
Tested out live migration, works flawlessly (with shared storage between the nodes).
My only problem with proxmox is that for some damn reason it always errors out and won't install on my spare motherboard, which fucking sucks because it is awesome.
what error?
I had issues at first when installing it. However I traced it to the super old Matrox Onboard Video Card on my SuperMicro Board...as soon so I disabled it and plugged in a discrete Nvidia GT720 It literally installed without an error.
Right now my Prox is on a dual Socket 2670 Setup with 64G of RAM, a 120GB SSD and a 3TB HDD. I need to get a bigger SSD and more storage for it. But right now all it is running is my Development enviorment (1 for Ubuntu and 1 for Windows) and a webserver that I am messing around with.
I certainly feel like I am not using it as I should but its a learning experience. Its worlds above me using Ubuntu Server running VMWare Worksation that I was doing before, I just need to figure out what all I want to virtualize :D
@nx2l It was some weird error that I'd never seen before. Anyway, I just set the machine up as a FreeNas box and have a virtual box jail that functions as a sufficient solution.
I use proxmox on my Dell R710 - it is amazing, only thing I realy hated was network bonding (got me quite the headache) and the constant "you don't have a license" pop ^^
Yeah I agree with you that the licensing is annoying for sure. If it wasn't for proxmox I wouldn't have gotten into into virtualization. I wish they had kept it free.
I just remove the paid subscription repo/deb and use the normal ones... Doesnt bother me.
Does that remove the popup? - A bit more reasonable prices for home/edu use would even make me support them, but not with these horrendous pricing.
I use it on a computer I turned into a home server for OMV and some ubuntu containers for development. Works great.
There is a way to remove the popup, I found it with a google search when I was looking up what deb to use.
