Kestra’s Proxmox Plugin: Create a Workflow to Easily Spin-Up VMs

Manually spinning up VMs in Proxmox gets old fast. In this video, I’m using Kestra (an open-source workflow automation platform) to automatically clone a VM template and start it, all without touching the Proxmox UI! You’ll see the process of buiding the workflow, setting up the Proxmox API – and more! In this step-by-step video, you’ll be able to build this for yourself.

Thanks to Kestra for supporting this tutorial! You can self-host it and use it to automate entire workflows , so check it out!

Hands-on with the Turing Pi 2!

The Turing Pi 2 is quite an exciting project that might even be a game-changer when it comes to homelab. With it, you can set up Raspberry Pi Compute Modules as individual servers, and even cluster them! The Turing Pi 2 gives you access to many additional features that Compute Modules wouldn’t normally have access to, such as mPCIe, SATA, and more. This gives you access to build a data-center in a box, and Jay gives it a first-look on the channel in this video.
