Hello, I'm having the following setup(simplified): - Proxmox host with several disks mounted as regular EXT4 data directories - A few big(4tb) storage images(qcow2) - A VM(let's say stock Ubuntu server) that mounts them - The data volumes themselves contain luks-encrypted ext4 partitions where...

That's out of question, because I have other vm's that I need to be started on boot unattended.

So, before I switched to a hypervisor I had a separate machine hosting my data - I did set it up with a full disk encryption that I entered the password for on boot. Since the machine itself was on a UPS, it gets booted maybe once a year if not less, so it's not an issue for me. I've also played...

I guess my questions are in a more general sense - since I'm not very experienced with Proxmox, I want to learn what are the good approaches of securing storage in Proxmox in general - forget about OMV, let's say you have a whatever VM that you want to make sure its data is encrypted and safe in...

It's a very lightweight server. TrueNAS is awesome, but to run smoothly it wants to eat a lot of memory.

Hello, I have a bunch of questions about setting up storage in a recommended/safest way. My end goal is that I have a NAS with a few storage "buckets" that I can mount/share into other vm's or externally via samba, nfs, etc. The tricky thing is, I want all(or some) of the storage to be...

Oooooh I must have missed there is a 3 min default for this. Now I tried waiting a little more and sure enough it shut down. Thanks for the docs reminder!

Hello, Suppose we have a VM that is stuck for a reason and won't respond to a shutdown command(for example, booted a live cd, guest agent not active, etc) - either issued manually via the UI or triggered when trying to shutdown the host. If this was a manual shutdown, it can be easily fixed by...
