[3224.90 --> 3226.98] did you use a bare metal Linux and then
[3226.98 --> 3228.80] somehow hack the packages to install
[3228.80 --> 3233.40] proxmox onto it tell user 3513 Alex you
[3233.40 --> 3235.00] know a bit this question has been coming
[3235.00 --> 3238.54] up in discord a lot in the last month or
[3238.54 --> 3241.18] so and it's like something has changed
[3241.18 --> 3245.02] and people just need to need to know
[3245.02 --> 3246.84] exactly what I'm doing to copy it which I
[3246.84 --> 3249.10] don't understand but they can't buy pies
[3249.10 --> 3250.92] anymore so they're finally giving in a
[3250.92 --> 3253.24] buying x86 systems and going proxmox they
[3253.24 --> 3254.96] are very sensible people you know they
[3254.96 --> 3257.24] should you know you should you should
[3257.24 --> 3258.56] consider doing that
[3258.56 --> 3262.84] perfectmediaserver.com would be where I'd
[3262.84 --> 3265.06] send people for actual documentation on
[3265.06 --> 3267.52] on what I'm doing I put a new page up
[3267.52 --> 3271.42] there in May I think badger stack in in
[3271.42 --> 3274.48] May just to just to tell because I was
[3274.48 --> 3276.78] getting so many questions what are you
[3276.78 --> 3278.16] doing Alex what are you doing and I'm
[3278.16 --> 3279.98] like well okay here it is here's the
[3279.98 --> 3281.64] hardware I'm using the exact hardware the
[3281.64 --> 3283.98] CPU the the OS all that kind of stuff so
[3283.98 --> 3286.48] in the original perfect meter server
[3286.48 --> 3288.06] guides I used to recommend virtualizing
[3288.56 --> 3291.88] Ubuntu and then passing through all of
[3291.88 --> 3295.46] the drive controllers to those virtual
[3295.46 --> 3298.36] machines that was in the days before I
[3298.36 --> 3302.06] was an absolute quicksync snob and if
[3302.06 --> 3304.92] you recall in the show a long time ago
[3304.92 --> 3308.28] also I've written blog posts about it and
[3308.28 --> 3310.94] it's on perfectmediaserver.com I was I was
[3310.94 --> 3313.62] trying to do something called gvtg to
[3313.62 --> 3318.58] split the quicksync GPU the the iGPU up
[3318.58 --> 3320.34] between multiple virtual machines and
[3320.34 --> 3322.10] pass it through and all that kind of
[3322.10 --> 3324.30] stuff it just didn't work the
[3324.30 --> 3326.22] performance was no good and the
[3326.22 --> 3329.34] complexity was off the charts and you
[3329.90 --> 3331.90] know how it goes so essentially I
[3331.90 --> 3334.12] decided at that point I've got no
[3334.12 --> 3336.18] option if I want hardware transcoding
[3336.18 --> 3338.72] using quicksync rather than having my
[3338.72 --> 3341.02] dual Xeon box pull 400 watts I only want
[3341.02 --> 3342.42] to pull four watts when I'm doing a
[3342.42 --> 3345.68] transcode and who wouldn't want that I've
[3345.68 --> 3348.26] got to run plex on the host and that's
[3348.26 --> 3351.34] it that really drove the next wave of my
[3351.34 --> 3353.46] builds which I've been doing now for
[3353.46 --> 3355.98] about 18 months I would say all of my
[3355.98 --> 3357.54] containers run directly on the host
[3357.54 --> 3361.22] home assistant itself runs as a has os vm
[3361.22 --> 3363.14] or whatever they call it these days
[3363.14 --> 3366.90] that's the only vm I have in proxbox is
[3366.90 --> 3369.10] literally just home assistant it's it's a
[3369.10 --> 3370.86] bit of a waste I mean occasionally I spin
[3370.86 --> 3374.26] up a you know an ubuntu thing for testing
[3374.26 --> 3377.34] or a fedora thing or whatever just
[3377.34 --> 3379.20] literally for testing but in terms of
[3379.20 --> 3381.50] production everything's on the proxmox
[3381.50 --> 3383.38] host it's all done in ansible in my
[3383.38 --> 3384.92] github repo which I'll put a link to in
[3384.92 --> 3387.10] the show notes as well and it's just
[3387.10 --> 3388.86] really simple it's just an install of
[3388.86 --> 3391.00] debian with proxmox installed on top
[3391.00 --> 3393.80] of it I use the proxmox documentation to
[3393.80 --> 3396.48] achieve that there's not much to it it's
[3396.48 --> 3400.84] just linux really it's very boring I think
[3400.84 --> 3402.52] that's a good thing I was we were talking
[3402.52 --> 3403.66] before we hit record I'm like you know
[3403.66 --> 3404.74] there's a lot of things about linux are
[3404.74 --> 3406.42] getting boring but that's what you need
[3406.42 --> 3408.18] when it becomes like this layer in the
[3408.18 --> 3411.12] industry it just needs to work so that's
[3411.12 --> 3412.98] great and we'll have a link to alex's
[3412.98 --> 3415.06] high-level overview in the notes
[3415.06 --> 3418.72] including some links to also as alex is
[3418.72 --> 3420.60] adding them right now to documentation on
[3420.60 --> 3422.38] how to get proxmox running on debian 11
[3422.38 --> 3426.58] the badger stack the badger stack well it
[3426.58 --> 3429.50] can be confusing because proxmox provide an
[3429.50 --> 3431.86] iso directly so you can install proxmox
[3431.86 --> 3435.12] directly from an iso just you know from
[3435.12 --> 3439.28] the project or you can install debian and
[3439.28 --> 3440.98] then install proxmox on top of it and
[3440.98 --> 3443.34] that can confuse some people either route
[3443.34 --> 3445.20] is completely valid one is slightly more
[3445.20 --> 3448.18] hands-on there than the other there's no
[3448.18 --> 3449.96] real preference in my mind as to which
[3449.96 --> 3452.04] one works better just do whatever makes
[3452.04 --> 3454.20] you feel warm and cozy I'm wondering how
[3454.20 --> 3456.02] you feel about this next one alex john a
[3456.02 --> 3459.58] boosting with 10,000 sets and he after
[3459.58 --> 3462.00] listening to the last episode is yoloing
[3462.00 --> 3464.80] into setting up his own email server no
[3464.80 --> 3467.28] yeah yeah he also is checking out podverse
[3467.28 --> 3469.50] which is awesome new podcast apps and we
[3469.50 --> 3472.96] also heard from p4p4john who says I've
[3472.96 --> 3474.78] started self-hosting my own email server
