How staxmax works
The architecture in one page — standalone Incus nodes, a replicated VM table, owner and replica nodes, and per-minute ZFS copies.
Replication
How protected VMs are copied to their replica node with ZFS, how the replica node is chosen, the disk reserve, and what "protected" means.
Failover
Heartbeats, the two-node tiebreaker and the majority rule, self-fencing, smart plugs and the watchdog, takeover timing, and the protection levels and HA states shown on the Overview.
Networking
How VMs reach your LAN through the lan macvlan network, VLAN networks, direct cables between nodes, and which ports and paths the nodes use to talk to each other.
