Current setup ideas for my Proxmox server

2022-07-16 1 min read Proxmox Chris Allen
My current plan setup from my Proxmox server is as follows: going to have 4 500GB solid-state drives. I am going to set up a windows share on my windows 10 computer that will host the iso and backups. This will allow me to back up my backups on a local computer without having to use space on my Proxmox server and it will be automatically backed up to my Backblaze account. Continue reading

I can always add more drives to the new Proxmox server I am building. I might make a quick video on me moving my Proxmox server from my old case to the new 1u case. Continue reading

I have been having a lot of backup pain lately. So I haven’t been able to do what I wanted to do with the website and create another video about syncthing for computer hacking 101 websites. I am going back to work starting on Tuesday and working my 8 to 5 job contract work. So I will not have much time to work on the website or youtube. I have to do this contract work because I need to bring in more money for my family and have money to buy things I need for my youtube channel. Continue reading

I have been very busy with work and life and haven’t had much time for youtube or work on both of my websites. I have released a few videos on my youtube channel. I have been doing computer work as a contractor for the past few months. But I will have some free time for the next two weeks to get things done. I am planning on creating a how-to-use syncthing video soon. Continue reading

I posted my 3rd video about syncthing on youtube. I got two more videos about syncthing that I plan on adding to my youtube channel. It is how to use syncthing and go through a lot of the options.

I will also show you how to install the syncthing relay service in another video. Continue reading
