I ditched it just because fpr the few contacts I could establish all of them ghosted me after the first outreach.
Like okay, why even give mw a thumbs up if you don’t care anyway.
Thus I purged the app and live my life happier by just not giving a fuck about that.
If the situation offeres the opportunity I’ll take it. Else it’s whatever.

A bicyce at this point.

I will remember it for next time I need to set a static IP in Linux. Comment is saved and hopefully I can reference it.

I appreciate the effort you took to help me and anyone that is still looking for help :)

My router is just that: A gateway
This follows a HW firewall (I intend to replace)
Behind that is

• My proxmox host with a bunch of VMs (including the DHCP/DNS server)
• A raspberry PI (which I reformatted and had the trouble with getting a static IP)
• Bunch of other stuff like servers, NAS and stuff.

No other easy option I figured out.
Didnt manage to understand iSCSI in the time I was patient with it and was desperate to finish the project and use my stuff.
Thus NFS.

Instead of the library having their books sucumb to a fire the fucking authors come inside just because they don’t like something and set their own books aflame? Great logic.

Yes, Reddit bad.
But those actions destroy important (to the user) information. At least set up a web-forum or a pastebin and linking to it.

Luckily archive.org saves us >_>

How else would you write the sound of purring?

Leaving the cat like the bee could make someone naive believe the (I assume) pump sounds like a meow ;D

Thanks for digging this “shallow” (lol. What you dug up is equal to my senior technician explaining the full tech stack of a client).
Anyway, I host the system disk on local disk and NFS storage acts as the mass storage for my VMs like my media server for jellyfin).
And I also do daily backups with Veeam Backup and Replication of both my most important files of my media server and the important VMs.
So in case of a data failure it should be more or less fine.

Wouldnt the sync option also confirm that every write also arrived on the disk?
Because I did mount the NFS (Storage host: TrueNAS, Hypervisor: Proxmox) in sync mode.

I tried doing it the debian way and (I believe) followed the instructions of one of the debian manuals.
Problem: Most assume (like you) that the DHCP server is always on and able to give out adresses. But sometimes life is in the way (and in my case: offline for maintenance) and it doesnt work with the DHCP option.

Too bad when the DHCP server is down with the proxmox host ;)

If I remember correctly that didnt work despite following the instructions.
Either I did it wrong or something changed. Oh well. I will keep that for future reference and maybe it’ll work then.

Somewhat. That means partially.

At least there arent 500 different ways to set a static IP.
Don’t get me wrong. I like Linux but I can’t get warm witg it as a desktop OS besides SteamDeck.
But I like it very much as a server OS.

I believe I tried the exact raspberry forum entry but it didnt catch on even with reboots and whatever I tried.
Saved for the future though.

Yeah, that’s fair. Very convoluted and difficult documented.

I’d assume the projects either have a docker-compose example in the readme or in the repository files alongside the actual project.
Is that so uncommon?

I have my NFS storage mounted via 2.5G and use qcow2 disks. It is slow to snapshot…

Maybe I understand your question wrong?

If you can only do X and Y is marginally similar how easy do you think it is to switch to Y?
I have customers that are unable to handle cables I described in great detail. They are afraid. Trying to push them to do anything is hard af.

At least that shit is somewhat documented.

If you are so sure about the way Linux is fully usable and understandable: Please tell me the proper way to set a static IP via terminal on Raspberry Pi OS and/or Debian bookworm.

Because last I checked (about 4 weeks ago) it was basically impossible.

I think that means purring…

At least something that’s distributed and fail safe (assuming OP targets this goal).
And if proxmox doesnt support it natively, someone could probably still config it local on the underlying debian OS.
