On-prem OAuth for identity, browser-rendered RDP, a firewalled LXC tunnel on its own VLAN, KSM for memory density, and profiles on Ceph. The next post builds it. A Switchless Proxmox Mesh with SDN OpenFabric — Ceph and Client Networks Without a 100G Switch https://blogs.damiendye.uk/en/proxmox/proxmox-routed-mesh-sdn-openfabric/ Fri, 07 Aug 2026 16:00:00 +0100 https://blogs.damiendye.uk/en/proxmox/proxmox-routed-mesh-sdn-openfabric/ Three Proxmox nodes wired directly to each other in a triangle, with OpenFabric routing over the mesh and Ceph plus VXLAN client networks riding on top. Built entirely in the web interface, and honest about where the design stops scaling.
