A NAS as bare metal makes sense.
It can then correctly interact with the raw disks.
You could pass an entire HBA card through to a VM, but I feel like it should be horses for courses.
Let a storage device be a storage device, and let a hypervisor be a hypervisor.
especially once a service does fail or needs any amount of customization.
A failed service gets killed and restarted. It should then work correctly.
If it fails to recover after being killed, then it's not a service that's fully ready for containerisation.
So, either build your recovery process to account for this... or fix it so it can recover.
It's often why databases are run separately from the service. Databases can recover from this, and the services are stateless - doesn't matter how many you run or restart.
As for customisation, if it isn't exposed via env vars then it can't be altered.
If you need something beyond the env vars, then you use that container as a starting point and make your customisation a part of your container build processes via a dockerfile (or equivalent)
It's a bit like saying "chisels are great. But as soon as you need to cut a fillet steak, you need to sharpen a side of the chisel instead of the tip of the chisel".
It's using a chisel incorrectly.
I would always run proxmox to set up docker VMs.
I found Talos Linux, which is a dedicated distro for kubernetes. Which aligned with my desire to learn k8s.
It was great. I ran it as bare-metal on a 3 node cluster. I learned a lot, I got my project complete, everything went fine.
I will use Talos Linux again.
However next time, I'm running proxmox with 2 VMs per node - 3 talos control VMs and 3 talos worker VMs.
I imagine running 6 servers with Talos is the way to go. Running them hyperconverged was a massive pain. Separating control plane and data/worker plane (or whatever it is) makes sense - it's the way k8s is designed.
It wasn't the hardware that had issues, but various workloads. And being able to restart or wipe a control node or a worker node would've made things so much easier.
Also, why wouldn't I run proxmox?
Overhead is minimal, get nice overview, get a nice UI, and I get snapshots and backups
I've never installed a package on proxmox.
I've BARELY interacted with CLI on proxmox (I have a script that creates a nice Debian VM template, and occasionally having to really kill a VM).
What would you install on proxmox?!
"God will protect us. He has sent judgement on those unworthy" also contributes. Not directly eugenics, but damn fucking close
Anyone with more personal wealth than can be spent in a lifetime is exploiting humanity.
If you spend $1k per day to live, that's $11m over 30 years.
Fuck it, spend $10k per day. Have a family of 5 each spend $10k per day, so $50k PER DAY (that's probably an average salary).
That's still less that $200m over 30 years.
Make it 60 years, thats $400m.
Anyone with more than $500m is exploiting humanity.
But how do they carry the flaming ordinance? It doesn't have a husk
The partying? That's just humans united by a common (and good) cause, bonding and letting off some steam before they go into a perilous situation.
It's harder to hide the sinking of a boat than it is to hide arresting people.
And activists have more boats than trucks, due to protests against drilling, fishing, wars. And I guess there are protections in international waters that don't exist when travelling through different sovereign nations.
But if less people are watching the other big channels because the content quality has slipped, then there is less people spending less time on the platform, so less non-subscribers that might be recommended an LTT video.
Ah, fair.
