Setting up Proxmox CLUSTER and STORAGE (Local, ZFS, NFS, CEPH) | Proxmox Home Server Series

In this video i will be setting up Proxmox Cluster of 3 Nodes and will go over each storage option you have [ Local, ZFS, NFS, CEPH ]
I hope this video will be helpful for you to decide if you want to "cluster" your Proxmox instances.

This is the most thorough Proxmox tutorial I have see so far. Please keep recording them !

[BrianThomas]

Thank you very much for this. When I first heard about CEPH and ZFS I looked on YouTube for tutorials, but I didn't find much that goes over a step by step like yours. Yours is the best I've see thus far that goes over Local, ZFS, NFS, CEPH in a Proxmox Home Server.

The best video that actually explained all of the different types of storage in proxmox and the positives and negatives of each. Great job.

This is by far the best Proxmox HA setup video I have seen. You clearly explained all HA options plus clustering.

[lawrencerubanka]

Thank you so much for your video. You really covered the topic perfectly for an introduction. You started with foundation concepts and built upon those to show us how Clusters, HA, and the different storage types work. I got more value from your video in 45 minutes than I have from days of reading forum posts and watching the scattered topics others have produced.

I'm still looking for a very clear walk-through of the Proxmox networking options. What I've seen so far is too simple or too advanced. I need that ground-up approach like you've taken here.

Thanks again for your great work!

I learned how HA works from this video, thanks!
One note - when you're migrating the VM on NFS or CEPH, you're only moving the contents of RAM from one machine to another. You're not testing the performance of NFS vs. CEPH.

Excellent video! I've been using Proxmox for a year with NFS, and a couple of days ago I started using Ceph. I watched several videos about Ceph, and yours was the clearest, even though you covered it quickly. New subscriber here!

The first time in a log time that I've learnt something new. Very good video explaining what is a complex topic. Hat's off to you sir.

[aproperhooligan]

This was the best explanation of Proxmox storage I've yet seen. Great work! Thank you, MRP.

[djelloulihicham]

Thank you so much for your video, very well presented and explained

[ColoredBytes]

I've Saved this video. I'm 100% going to be watching this when I setup CEPH this year!

[robbuurman]

Excellent video ! Very clear demo, much appreciated

[MohammedYasinRashid]

You just taught us using MASTER mode and everything just clicked inside my skull 😂

[YukidoDe]

My dude, awesome tutorial! Awesome pace, hands on, excellently explained. This has helped me so much, thank you!

[vinaduro]

Awesome video, thanks a lot. I’ve been putting off redoing my 3 node cluster, because I didn’t have my head wrapped around Ceph yet, but I think I’m ready to try it out on a test cluster. Wish me luck. 😂

[Zbyszekakaduk]

Hi, I watched several videos on this topic, I agree with the previous speakers, you did a hard and very good job. Great respect, thanks from me. With your help, my homeassistant migrates between servers. From ZFS local storage, next for further experiments.

[HueTruong]

Thank you for taking the time with this video. It was the most detailed video on Proxmox I have watched.

[DavidJones-pirl]

Fantastic video, followed it to set up my Proxmox and Ceph cluster! I should have watched it to the end first but couldn't help myself. My problem was needing additional drives to install Ceph, but I was able to do that fairly easily and resolved the lack of hardware with USB SSD's. Not perfect, as my 3 Proxmox servers were built with micro form-factor NUC style devices. 👍

[lawrenceneo]

Very well produced tutorial on various storage options for Proxmox and presented in a straight forward style that is direct to the point and is very easy to absorb and understand. Well Done!

[SantamChakraborty]

Thanks this is a very nice and well paced vide. Please keep them coming.
