So, just for the sake of it I’ve been trying to get my lab to be HA -or as HA as a small homelab can be-
My current set up is a follows:
3 proxmox servers with some Debian VMs, the VMs run docker swarm
A NAS, with Truenas
ISProuter -> OpenWRTRouter -> VM [Port fowards 80/443]
This works like a charm when I am in my LAN, but when I access from outside, if the VM that has 80/443 port forwarded to is down (which it never is) I’d loose connectivity.
I have now idea how to solve this little problem in a efficient way, maybe a reverse proxy running on my OpenWRT? (Which’d only move the point of failure to my router, but if my router goes down is gameover already anyways) has anyone attempted this?
Any opinions/ideas?
Def went into the rabbit hole without any idea how many of these single points I’d need to address, and the more I mitigate the more I find. Like you said, this is very much overkill, I am just doing it to learn and have some good old homelab fun before we are all forced to rent “cloud” PCs
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll look into those!
