  • As I mentioned in reply to another comment of yours, the main difference in my opinion here is that I am posting this as an individual one-man company compared to something like Oracle. And the Oracle free tier still requires you to sign-up and provide your data. This free version does not have such a commitment.

    A lot of projects are sharing status updates and development news and various platforms, some on lemmy as well. On average, I post status updates every 1-2 months when there is something to share. And yes this is self-serving, I am advertising my project after all.

    I think blocking me would be a bit overkill? You could also just downvote the posts you don’t want to see and move on, you don’t have to read my posts if you don’t like them. That is up to everyone themselves. People who are interested in these posts can do the opposite.



  • Yeah the pricing model requires the homelab plan for larger Proxmox cluster setups with multiple nodes. However, there are no limits to what you can do with that one Proxmox node. You can fully use every feature with it there is no limit on the amount of VMs you can manage in the community version on that node. Just when your homelab setup is larger and has multiple nodes, it requires the homelab plan. And at the end of the day, I think you can form an informed opinion on whether upgrading to the homelab plan would make sense to you after using the one node for some time. If you don’t think the saved time and effort with XPipe is worth the 5$/month for you, that’s fine. Everyone can determine that for themselves.


  • Wow, I missed quite a discussion up here when I was away.

    I would argue this is part of this community, a showcase and status updates of projects that can be useful for the selfhosted community. I understand that there is a focus for completely free projects in here, but some tools showcased here also include a paid plan. In this case I’m trying to make a living out of this, so there is a payment model in place. I limit my posts to only major updates, so the post frequency is dependent on the development speed.

    There is a free community plan available that covers many use cases, there is no need to pay for XPipe unless you want to fully commit to it and use all of its features.












  • How large is your homelab cluster? The current restriction of only one Proxmox node is mainly there because in practice I don’t think it would be possible to distinguish between personal use and commercial use. Because many companies also run a cluster with multiple nodes without the enterprise repository as that is not really needed.

    The display issue is interesting because I was not aware of that before. I have a few Linux systems with a gnome DE, but none of these are using nvidia hardware acceleration. I can definitely look into finding the cause for this if you want, but it’s only really worth it for you to spend some time on this if you actually want to keep using XPipe. If the current restrictions are a dealbreaker for you, then I understand that.

    I think a screenshot of how exactly it looks for you would already be a good starting point for me.
