House of Logic
Welcome to the House of Logic Technology Blog
Lemmy from Motorhead was once asked what they brought to heavy rock, to which he replied 'Nothing, nada, zero. We brought nothing, we took it away...And what we left was real.' The House of Logic blog is intended to take this approach - cut to the chase, skip the dead air, and take away the nonsense and hype on actually how to use tech for what you want to get done.

Proxmox Read Only User for API access
Read Only User Read only users are an important feature for Proxmox if you want to integrate with other systems for monitoring purposes. A read only user can allow for access to a Proxmox cluster without the ability to implement changes - this post shows how to do this. Under “Datacenter” go to “Users” and click “Add”. Enter the user name and password, and select the Realm - Proxmox VE authentication will include the entire cluster.

Docker on LXC in Proxmox
Docker on LXC As covered in the previous post here, LXC offers a different form of containerisation to Docker. Docker containers are immutable and reset when restarted, whereas LXC are more closely coupled with their storage. Each container technology has a different best-use case, but it is possible to combine the two in a practical application, and to do so on Proxmox. Setting up Docker on LXC Create your LXC container as normal - see Proxmox LXC post here.

Cloning VM templates in Proxmox with TerraForm
Cloning with Terraform Whilst cloning of virtual machines and templates is supported in Proxmox, and much customisation can be achieved with Cloud-Init, TerraForm allows you to take things to the next level. When used together, Cloud-Init and TerraForm (or OpenTofu) allow you to customise the the configuration of machines during the deployment process, rather than doing so after as you may have to do with a straightforward cloning. TerraForm / OpenTofu bring the added benefit of Infrastructure as Code, allowing the user to drive their infrastrucure from a code base defined as code.
