So I recently saw the netboot xyz TechnoTim video.

I wanted to see if I could install Harvester on top of Proxmxx using
netboot xyz.

I made this cool little guide on it. I hope you all enjoy!

Glad, you mentioned that nobody should install a Hypervisor on a
Hypervisor.

That beeing said, i dont think there are many people using this
tutorial other than for testing etc.

For them it might be useful.
Thanks for Posting

I usually run this setup.

Proxmox => truenas => vmware vcenter => Virtualbox => vmware
workstation => Hyper-V.


Ask me how i passthrough shit xDDDD

Okay I'm tempted XD

How do you passthrough shit?

With a lot of alcohol. I passthrough shit with a lot of alcohol.

Nah seriously if you can passthrough shit with that config that has to
be some sort of World record

What's your use case? A self-hosted TOR network?

Its obviously a joke lol.

And why Tor? It does not help anything if you got multiple nested
vm's.

If you really want to host a Tor exit, a single pc is all you need.

+ dont put Lv1 Hypervisors on top of each other.
There is no security benefit. It actually makes your Systems more
vulnerable to attacks since you are using more Software.

Exactly. It makes no sense to install Harvester on top of Proxmox.
Since I could technically do it tho, I had to try it.

I mostly meant in the sense that your packets go through 3 endpoints
before they reach your network. Obviously if they're all in the same
machine and the fact that there's no encapsulation and different
levels of encryption it's completely useless

Drive-by comment: I am struggling mightily with getting any sort of
Kubernetes setup working, and your Substacks and tutorials have been
\*amazing.\* Thank you!
