Virtual Machine Management Patterns
Automated Provisioning
- Cloud-init deployment - Fully automated VM provisioning from first boot
- Post-install scripts - Standardized configuration for existing VMs
- SSH key management - Automated key deployment with emergency backup
- Security hardening - Password auth disabled, firewall configured
VM Provisioning Strategies
Template-Based Deployment
- Ubuntu Server templates optimized for home lab environments
- Resource allocation sizing and planning
- Network configuration and VLAN assignment (10.10.0.x networks)
- Storage provisioning and disk management
Infrastructure as Code
- Cloud-init templates for repeatable VM creation
- Bash provisioning scripts for existing infrastructure
- SSH key integration with existing homelab key management
- Docker environment setup with user permissions
Lifecycle Management
- Automated provisioning with infrastructure as code
- Configuration management with standardized scripts
- Snapshot management and rollback strategies
- Scaling policies for resource optimization
Monitoring & Maintenance
- Resource monitoring (CPU, memory, disk, network)
- Health checks and alerting systems
- Patch management and update strategies
- Performance tuning and optimization
Backup & Recovery
- VM-level backups vs application-level backups
- Disaster recovery planning and testing
- High availability configurations
- Migration strategies between hosts
Implementation Workflows
New VM Creation (Recommended)
- Create VM in Proxmox with cloud-init support
- Apply cloud-init template (
scripts/vm-management/cloud-init-user-data.yaml) - Start VM - fully automated provisioning
- Verify setup via SSH key authentication
Existing VM Configuration
- Run post-install script (
scripts/vm-management/vm-post-install.sh <ip> <user>) - Automated provisioning handles updates, SSH keys, Docker
- Security hardening applied automatically
- Test connectivity and verify Docker installation
Security Architecture
- SSH key-based authentication only (passwords disabled)
- Emergency key backup for failover access
- User privilege separation (sudo required, docker group)
- Automatic security updates configured
- Network isolation ready (10.10.0.x internal network)
