This “Snack-Size” Raspberry Pi Cluster Runs Full Proxmox (ARM Tax Included)

#Homelab #raspberrypi #proxmox RPi CM4: https://amzn.to/3MRnN6e Closest thing I found to the nano cluster on Amazon (knockoff?): https://amzn.to/3KF7dWM buy knockoffs at your own risk! Go straight to the source: https://sipeed.com/ In this video I’m turning a tiny sipeed nanocluster into a full Proxmox playground, running Proxmox on Raspberry Pi CM4 modules as a multi-node Proxmox cluster. We’ll walk through how I set up this Raspberry Pi cluster with Pimox, what it’s like running an x86-style hypervisor on an ARM server, and where a low power server like this actually fits in a homelab or home lab server setup. Think DIY mini data center that might be one of the smallest clusters you’ve seen on a desk. I’ll show how I’m using each cm4 node in this cm4 cluster as a container lab and VM cluster: Pi-hole as a DNS blocker, an Nginx reverse proxy, n8n for automation, and Grafana dashboards running on a Debian-based Linux server stack. We’ll talk about the quirks of ARM Proxmox, where a nanocluster shines for Kubernetes lab and edge computing experiments, and how a Proxmox on Raspberry Pi build like this compares to a more traditional homelab hypervisor setup. If you’re into Raspberry Pi, DIY home lab projects, or squeezing Proxmox VE into the smallest possible footprint, this one’s for you.
