Why You Need 3 Nodes // My Proxmox Ceph Cluster Project!
Summary
The transcript discusses upgrading a home lab Proxmox cluster from a two-node to a three-node configuration with Ceph distributed storage, enabling advanced high-availability features like live virtual machine migration. The key technical elements include adding a third server, implementing Ceph storage across multiple nodes, and using distributed disk storage for improved performance and reliability. While highlighting the benefits of this setup, the speaker also recommends maintaining a separate NAS for personal data and backups, noting that Ceph is excellent for VM storage but not a comprehensive backup solution. The practical takeaway is that a well-designed multi-node cluster with distributed storage can significantly enhance home lab infrastructure and virtualization capabilities.
