How do you protect your Proxmox VMs from hardware failures without losing data? In this video, I'll build a high-availability homelab cluster by setting up Ceph Distributed Storage inside Proxmox VE. I'll also cover a 10GbE network setup, explain core Ceph architecture (OSDs, Monitors, Managers, and the CRUSH algorithm), walk step-by-step through the Proxmox UI setup, and run a live failover test by pulling the power plug on a active node. 🔔 **Subscribe** for more hands‑on cloud tutorials! *To follow along, check out my GitHub page!
