Pimox is a port of Proxmox to the Raspberry Pi allowing you to build a Proxmox cluster of Rapberry Pi’s or even a hybrid cluster of Pis and x86 hardware.

Tester with success over the DietPi ARMv8 64-bit image.  
I was under DietPi/buster and upgraded to bullseye then installed Pimox.

Just setup a new 250GB SSD just for the occasion.

Pimox it’s running fine on my RPi4B 8GB. However it has some dependency and would require a couple of workarounds on a plain DietPi system.

Finally got around to installing Proxmox, and there’s a few dependencies.  
At least I have an SSD to install to.

yeah quite a long list. Keep in mind that some thinks might be not working as expected on DietPi system. Especially the network layer changed from `ifupdown` to `ifupdown2`. Another thing, the installation strictly require OpenSSH instead of Dropbear SSH server. And finally, our default `systemd-timesyncd` is not working anymore. If I’m not mistaken, time synchronisation would need to be set to manual now.

I’ve installed this on my dietpi installation running on an Odroid HC4, sucessfully added it to my cluster which now consists of my old x86\_64 desktop (main server), my old x86\_64 laptop (built-in UPS hihi) and now a dietpi HC4.

@Joulinar regarding systemd-timesyncd, the installation added chrony so wouldnt that replace the functionality of the systemd service? I do get errors when trying to install anything using dietpi-timesyncd and have to override that step in the process in order to use it.

You need set time sync to manual within `dietpi-config` to avoid the time sync check during install and updates

Thanks!

Turns out the little OLED display on the front of the HC4 has an RTC-clock on the back of it so can use that to keep track of the time.
