Hi! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Things are really only just getting started around here, so check back for updates.

Configuring BTRFS mirror (RAID1) on Proxmox 8.3 root partition

31 March 2025
Proxmox 8.3 installer has support for BTRFS mirror as a "technical preview", but out of the box the Proxmox installer does not actually create a fault-tolerant installation. In this post we go over how to sync the bootloaders using proxmox-boot-tool

Custom fan controller for NVIDIA Tesla K20x

20 February 2025

Cancelled
The fan controller I bought from Amazon works, but I hate it's fan curves. What it needs is an over-engineered PID controller. In this project we'll be building a fan controller for my NVIDIA Tesla K20x using ESPHome.

Build a new Proxmox cluster for my home lab

Active
I've had a little homelab for decades and I've been using Proxmox for many years now. I had a cluster, but I wanted to rebuild it so I migrated everything to a standalone server and then everything paused there. I want to pick up on that project, but this time I want to document it along the way.

Install NVIDIA Tesla K20x drivers & CUDA Toolkit on Proxmox 8.3

18 February 2025
Debian 12, on which Proxmox 8 is based, has the correct driver in the non-free repository. However, that driver doesn't support the CUDA Toolkit in the non-free repository so it must be installed via run file downloaded from NVIDIA's website. In this post we'll go over installing the NVIDIA Tesla Driver 470 and CUDA Toolkit 11.4.

Install Stable Diffusion with CUDA 3.5 support in Proxmox 8 container

21 January 2025
Status
Cancelled
By default, Stable Diffusion only works with CUDA 3.7 and above. If this project is successful, we will be able to run Stable Diffusion on an NVIDIA graphics card that only supports CUDA 3.5. Even using older graphics hardware is faster than CPU-only image generation.
