Proxmox cluster - hosts and access

Status: Needs work - there are no backups yet, storage layout / VM placement not documented.


Servers use the following subnets

Name VLAN Subnet Description
Servers 20 192.168.20.0/24 Used by the VMs and Services
Core 25 192.168.25.0/24 Core layer for hosts to talk to each other
Remote 35 192.168.35.0/24 Mainly for proxied GUI.

The hosts and most the vms will use manual IPs, DHCP existes for 192.168.20.0/24

The IPs will start at 192.168.35.2 - 9 for the hosts (same IP for core IP 192.168.25.x) , then 192.168.20.10 - 99 for the VMs, 192.168.20.99 - 255 are for DHCP VMs.

Hostname Role IP RAM Physically
pve bulk storage and main buff node 192.168.35.2 64 GB Workstation PC
pve2 Backup location and small VMs 192.168.35.3 8 GB Junk in a rack mounted box
pve3 Tie Breaker and small VMs 192.168.35.4   Mini PC

Cluster Configuration

Standard 3-node Proxmox cluster (pve, pve2, pve3) with quorum via corosync, running over the Core network (VLAN 25, 192.168.25.0/24).

Access / Auth

The Proxmox web UI is accessed through Authentik (see Auth Server), the same SSO pattern used for the other public-facing services (see VPS Proxy).

Backups

None yet. This is a known gap - see the To-Do list (“central backup for all Proxmox VMs and hosts”).
