VMs
No VMs provisioned yet — this is the landing zone for future workloads at the Copenhagen site.
Ansible
Part of the proxmox_hosts group alongside london-a, sharing the proxmox_ve role:
- Swaps the enterprise apt repo for
pve-no-subscriptionso updates work without a paid subscription - Patches
proxmoxlib.jsto suppress the subscription nag dialog - Restricts the web UI to the
tailscale0interface via UFW - Mounts the london-b CIFS storage
Networking
Connected directly to the ISP router's built-in switch. Symmetrical 500 Mbit connection.
History
copenhagen-a used to run gaming servers directly on bare metal: a Minecraft server (itzg/minecraft-server, Docker) and a WoW 1.12 (Vanilla) MaNGOS Zero private server (native systemd + local MariaDB). Both were decommissioned and the host was repaved as Proxmox VE — the Tailscale identity (and IP) changed as part of the reinstall. The old static public IP used for direct game-client connections (Minecraft server list, WoW realm list) is no longer needed since nothing here accepts direct client connections anymore.
