Hello Erkka, could you elaborate on what you are doing with baremetal containers and virtualization like harvester? Do you want to manager vms, guest clusters and baremetal containers through harvester?

first use is seaweedfs with true loadbalancing

If you refer to this: https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.7/rancher/rancher-integration#harvester-baremetal-container-workload-support-experimental keep in mind it's still experimental, you can hack around I think you can define IP pool https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.7/networking/ippool and hack around similar to how we do for vm and guest clusster https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.7/networking/ippool#best-practice (I assume you referred to this as well, yes no official suggestion for baremetal containers) but I think we don't have anything official given the experimental nature of the feature

Well. I consider everything with Harvester experimental... we have been running minio baremetal without any issues for over a year now...

I think we have our own LVM experimental addon which should work with seaweedfs: https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.6/advanced/addons/lvm-local-storage you can try out the seaweedfs with it

I think it is not ready for use. Having separate storage class per node is not just not an option.

Then you can check this HEP used topolvm as example: https://github.com/harvester/harvester/blob/master/enhancements/20250612-volume-online-expansion.md?plain=1#L59 and there is a section: https://github.com/harvester/harvester/blame/master/enhancements/20250612-volume-online-expansion.md#L205 again not sure whether it will fit your usecase

thanks. I will check these.

This is not exactly official documentation
