I bought two more Dell R620s, bringing my total to three - behold, quorum. This will be a multi-part series, focusing on different things I did wrong.</p> <p>I want HA, or as close as I can. I know I still have SPOF with power (aside from my UPS), internet, and switching, but my real concern is the ability to drop a node and not notice. I often find myself wanting to tweak something at an inopportune time, i.e. during the day, and this disrupts the household internet. A capital crime, to be sure. In order to accomplish HA without having a truly ludicrous amount of physical servers, I need three servers. Since I don&rsquo;t need to dedicate any of them strictly as control planes, and since the R620 is dual-socket, I&rsquo;ll install Proxmox as the hypervisor and run a control plane and worker on each node.</p>
