    Long story short... not possible. I'm planning to install and use ceph and HA in my working cluster enviroment. I have 4 nodes with 256GB RAM each and 2x10G NICs dedicated for ceph cluster network traffic. I already know this may be not enough for perfect performance so I'm planning to swap NICs...

    [SOLVED] Sync performance when using IP server instead of FQDN?

    According the PBS manual, HTTP/2 is used for transfer data. Does this work when using IP server for remote sync or for FDQN? Or is a FQDN a requirement for HTTP/2?

    Lessons learned about using NFS shared storage in a ProxMox environment (w/ Synology?)

    It's possible some of the following is specific to my environment... but having read a ton of threads to solve my issues, I suspect these are more general insights gained. NFS has had serious reliability problems when it comes to rebuilding broken links... until version 4.1 Before that...

    Proxmox 8.0 Tuning and best practices for production/colocated servers.

    Started reading every Wiki page and a bunch of forum posts.. but the "best practices" for a stable production server are a little vague. Does anybody have any recommendations for setting for sysctl? network? Kernel tweaks? or Do I need to pay somebody for this kind of detail? and support? Is...

    Direct USB passthrough is slow, but using SPICE is fast

    Hello, I want to pass a USB device to a VM (namely a USB TV tuner for a TV server). When I do it directly by adding a USB device to the VM with the vendor/device ID, it seems as if the device is sometimes slow to respond. However, when I add a SPICE USB channel, change the display to SPICE...

    Optimizing Guest CPU Performance

    Running a WIn10 guest with successful GPU passthrough, performance on that front seems decent. But I can't say the same for the CPU. Pretty disappointing, this is what the bare metal results for the host's CPU should be near for Single Thread score: CPU Test Suite Average Results for...

    Webserver VMs with HTTPS loading incredibly slow

    I'm moving from Windows Hyper-V to Proxmox and was excited, but I'm noticing that the websites hosted by these VMs (running Ubuntu Jammy) are loading incredibly slow. So much so that often on the first page load, I get an error 522 from Cloudflare (the sites are proxied through them) and then if...
