Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

This only applies to high availability clusters, correct?
Unfortunately not, it applies to all clusters. A quorum requires at least 2 votes, which means 2 nodes. But if one node goes down, you only have 1 vote, and the cluster will go into read-only mode, which means you'll lose the GUI and the ability to manage your nodes:
But if you have a device that will supply a vote in the event that one of the two votes is unavailable, the cluster will continue to function with a single node, which will allow you to use the normal Proxmox tools and interfaces to diagnose the problem, while also keeping any VMs on the single remaining node up and running (available).
Here is a Proxmox employee explaining it a bit more clearly than the official documentation:

Wow thanks for that detailed explanation! Very helpful and I'll be setting up an rpi as a device.
