Proxmox 9, iscsi, and Pure Storage FlashArray

Based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5fhCiAETSU
With help from https://www.burakaktas.com/proxmox-ve-with-pure-storage-using-iscsi-and-lvm/

This is a simple guide for updating Proxmox 9 for use with a Pure Storage FlashArray over iscsi. This guide should work with other iscsi providers.

Pure Docker plugin

from https://hub.docker.com/r/purestorage/docker-plugin

Starting with Rocky 9.6

install docker

yum clean all; yum install -y vim yum-utils && yum-config-manager -y --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo && yum install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin && mkdir -p /etc/docker && systemctl enable --now docker

quick install of docker, prometheus, and grafana

This guide is a quick, and easy way to setup docker, prometheus, and grafana for getting the metrics from a Pure FlashArray.

install docker

Can your CSI work with hardware? Portworx CSI can!

Air Gapping Vcluster from Loft.sh

This idea is from using vcluster to serve our Rancher on Harvester : https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.4/advanced/addons/rancher-vcluster/ and https://www.vcluster.com/docs/platform/install/advanced/air-gapped.

There are quite a few moving parts here. In addtion to Vcluster assets we need to grab Rancher's as well. Rancher adds Cert-Manager.
Here is the install yaml https://github.com/harvester/experimental-addons/blob/main/rancher-vcluster/rancher-vcluster.yaml
