I’m prepping a lot of stuff with cloud-init lately, and one step I always forget when installing my base OS is keeping the vg name clear of any hostname stuff.

So, as a reminder to myself, and a small howto for whoever else runs into this stuff:

  • Rename the VG: vgrename oldvgname newvgname
  • Modify /etc/fstab, change all entries that have oldvgname-<lvname> to newvgname-<lvname>
  • Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and change the RESUME= entry to match the new vgname
  • Update the initramfs: update-initramfs -u -k all
  • Update the grub install: update-grub

And reboot.

Using IPv6 outside of Docker with Docker

1 minute read

I recently activated IPv6 on my Netcup VPS, and in the process of setting it up on all my LXCs I noticed that for “reasons” the IPv6 default route would vanish after starting Docker (switching it all over to Podman is on my TODO list), effectively breaking the IPv6 connectivity on this LXC.

Enabling native IPv6 on Proxmox and LXC using SDN

In my original deployment of Proxmox on my VPS I only enabled IPv4, and I was using socat to forward traffic from the IPv6 address of the host to the internal IPv4 addresses of the containers. Not ideal, since this masks the external IP addresses, and also creates some latency and additional CPU load when processing IPv6.

I run Proxmox Virtual Environment as my virtualisation platform. On top of this I use virtual machines using KVM and Linux Containers using LXC - both of which are natively supported on ProxmoxVE.
