Building a Multi-Node Proxmox Compute Mesh with 10GbE Fiber & ZFS Tiered Caches
Hardware teardown of our dedicated edge cluster: PCIe bifurcations, NVMe write-endurance tuning, OPNsense CARP failovers, and WireGuard site-to-site bridges.
## Silicon Over Clouds
While cloud platforms have their place, operating private bare-metal infrastructure provides unmatched compute density, deterministic latency, and complete data sovereignty.
### The CyberShrine Edge Spec
Our in-house cluster features:
- **Proxmox VE Cluster**: High-availability virtualization nodes with corosync quorum heartbeat.
- **Storage Subsystem**: ZFS mirrored enterprise NVMe pools with L2ARC read-caches and daily offsite encrypted replication.
- **Network Fabric**: 10GbE SFP+ fiber backbone, isolated VLAN routing via OPNsense firewall, and secure site-to-site WireGuard meshes.
