It's possible you've not heard of #boxyBSD

I was lucky to get a TIL moment when @stefano boosted it's existence into my feed.

However you should know about it, learn something about the user perspective from proxmox in the process, while working with a boxyBSD VM.

Here are some nice screencaps of the boxyBSD site so you can ask nicely for a VM and learn to play with one of the *BSD flavours from a distance.

I'm sure you can duckduckgo the address of boxyBSD when you analyze the screencaps, right?

It has arrived. proxyLB v1.1.0 the loadbalancer for proxmox clusters. Instead of telling you the features of this major version I invite you to read about it yourself, download proxyLB then play with it.

As with any great Open Source project, this has grown out of a necessity that @gyptazy has for his other amazing project boxyBSD, which just needs a versatile tool like this.

Now go and play.

ProxLB 1.0.7 (an opensource DRS alike solution for #Proxmox clusters) is just around the corner!

1.0.7 will be the last version before I'm going to publish the new refactored code base in a modern and object oriented way. Version 1.1.0 squashes some more bugs that were postponed on the current code base and makes the overall future handling much easier (including new features).

Note to self: When converting a Kubernetes cluster with Cilium as CNI to replace MetalLB with Cilium's new L2 announcements, you need to tweak some settings in your Cilium installation. Especially enabling Cilium to act as a kube-proxy replacement (if you are not already doing so) and enabling the l2 announcements. Which means kube-proxy needs to be disabled in k3s.

In other words: k3s on my Raspi4 is now providing a loadbalancer to blocky using Cilium's L2 announcements...

Haha. In
#Deutschland muss man immer das Rad neu erfinden, statt das zu nutzen, was es schon gibt.

#BigBlueButton ist komplett #OpenSource und kann durch die Anzahl der #Server und #Loadbalancer quasi beliebig skaliert werden.

Aber nein, man muss die
#Telekom was neu entwickeln lassen, was dann - Überraschung - nicht fertig wird und sicher auch viel teurer als geplant.

Und am Ende nutzt man dann doch wieder
#BigTech "marktübliche" Systeme und wirft den #Datenschutz über Bord. 🤷🤦🤡🤮

Do you already know #ProxLB for #Proxmox clusters?

ProxLB is fully #opensource and brings some additional features into Proxmox that you might be missing after migrating from #Broadcom #VMware just like #DRS or #StorageDRS. This is where ProxLB jumps in and offers #loadbalancing features - free and opensource under the #GPLv3. ProxLB is packaged, can be installed from a .deb file, repository or run as an orchestrator in a container and fully utilizes the Proxmox API without any ssh access.

Aye! I was able to load up two load balancers on different nodes in the cluster. These two load balancers have keepalived between them so if one goes down the other pics up the ip.. These front end 2 caddy instances also on different cluster memebers. So I'm about to start shutting down loadbalancers to see if things stay up!!

Looks like keepalived screws up some metrics that the lb can no longer see. Need to work on that.
