Paco Hope #resist<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@FritzAdalis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FritzAdalis</a> The virtual hard disks of the VMs are ZFS zvols, not files. There are regular snapshot of those zvols. But: (a) restoring a VM from a zvol snapshot is an exercise left to the reader. There’s no GUI, no CLI script. No documentation. (b) I don’t know if it’s possible (it certainly isn’t easy) to move those snapshots off-host/off-site for safe keeping, then bring them back onto the host to restore. (c) it takes more to back up a VM than making a write-consistent snapshot of the hard disk. How many CPUs had I assigned? How much RAM? If it had more than one virtual disk, which zvol was boot and which was data? If I restore by making a new VM with a new virtual NIC it will get a new MAC address and DHCP will assign a different IP when the restored VM boots. A backup process for a VM captures all these things. A restore process accounts for putting things back.It’s not that any of this is insurmountable. (Maybe the zvol export thing is) It’s just that I shouldn’t be doing this from scratch/the hard way in 2025. There is absolutely no reason to run VMs this way.There are so many better ways to offer VMs. They would have done better to leave the feature out. It’s less work for them and doesn’t mislead their users.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a>

Paco Hope #resistAnybody out there in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> land using <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a> Scale with VMs?I've built a nice, reliable NAS. And then I noticed that it could do VMs. Great! I thought. I have a couple different VMs running some important things like <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>.What I have discovered is that their VM support is terrible. Unless I misunderstand, I literally cannot do any of these things:<ul><li>backup a VM</li><li>restore a VM</li><li>export a VM</li><li>import a VM</li><li>snapshot a VM</li></ul>If I treat each VM like a full <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> host, I can back it up using something else (e.g., <code>rsync</code>). But if this was <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/xcp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xcp</a> with Xen Orchestra, I'd have this whole thing solved in seconds.I'm thinking about creating a big VM, running a nested hypervisor (XCP) and then running my VMs there. But that sounds like a huge faff. And even then, while I could snapshot the child VMs, that parent VM running the hypervisor would be hard to backup/restore.I have plenty of RAM and spare CPU cycles on my NAS. But I've only recently understood how bad this VM support is. If I lost my HomeAssistant VM I'd cry.Anybody have thoughts on this? <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a>

Paco Hope #resist<a href="https://phpc.social/@outofcontrol" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@outofcontrol</a> The way I plan my stuff is a mirrored pair of root drives, like 128G SSDs, and then whatever storage drives. Personally I tend to put it all in one chassis. I don’t, for example, have my VMs using iSCSI or NFS for their root volumes. (I might to that for data volumes.)TrueNAS will set up ZFS right. You can trust the defaults. I think I might have RAID5 ZFS and be booting off the ZFS volume on my TrueNAS box. For my internet connected VMs I tend to do Xcp-ng on bare metal, with Xen Orchestra and Portainer to manage containers on my docker host VMs.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a>
