Ccyruspy replied to the thread Non PVE backup at scale.Oh, yes. The 1:1 CLI native client for Windows is in progress. The next challenge is to fund the usd 300 yearly certificate to make Smartscreen and SecureBoot happy (MSI installer + NBD kernel driver). While thinking beyond that point is that I...

Ccyruspy posted the thread (yet another) Non official client build in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.Hello, I would like to share the initiative of packaging the Linux client for different distributions as a nice opportunity to give back to the PBS creators and the community. I've repackaged the original supported client in native RPM/DEB...

Ccyruspy replied to the thread [March 2026] Proxmox Backup Client - Unofficial ARM64 Install for Ubuntu Server 25.10?.Which distribution are you running?
-
C:) There are multiple "valid" solutions! Don't feel pushed to follow my ideas. I just say what worked best for me. My approach? Yes. It would have resulted in one single ZFS-pool. You would create a dedicated dataset (not a folder) to hold the...

Ccyruspy posted the thread Non PVE backup at scale in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.Hello, Much to my dismay, I've came across a heavy Windows usage environment, with not all running on PVE (yet?). I would like to write a native Windows client, with proper signage and a msi installer to simplify its lifecycle. Also, I...

Ccyruspy replied to the thread Shared SSD for OS & datastore acceleration.Hmm, I didn't see that one coming I've just shrank my original OS rpool to 50GB. Will think about it. PS: does it mean the datastore will be just a folder somewhere and not a different pool, correct?
-
Ccyruspy replied to the thread Shared SSD for OS & datastore acceleration.Yes, you are correct about the scenario. In a "let's design this and purchase this" scenario I would purchase dedicated flash storage for metadata. Is sharing the small boot disks what concerns me.

Ccyruspy replied to the thread Shared SSD for OS & datastore acceleration.I'm not sure I'm following. This machine is only for PBS, live data are in other computers.

CMy hint is run PVE on the hardware and PBS in a VM. More functionality and flexibility, due to all the reasons we run VMs anyway. Install PVE on the SSDs with a ZFS mirror, but leave 16GB of space free during setup for swap. Configure the HDDs...

Ccyruspy posted the thread Shared SSD for OS & datastore acceleration in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.Hello!, While deploying Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) for personal backups (NAS files and PVE test VMs), I noticed that SSDs are preferred for the datastore. Since this is a "cost-effective" scenario, I'll have to use leftover mechanical disks...

Ccyruspy posted the thread Centralized scheduling for non PVE clients in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.Currently proxmox-backup-client is a stateless, outbound-only CLI, and PBS operates purely as a passive storage endpoint. For non-PVE / standalone Linux hosts, backups must be scheduled locally per-host (e.g. cron or systemd timers). This creates...

Ccyruspy replied to the thread [March 2026] Proxmox Backup Client - Unofficial ARM64 Install for Ubuntu Server 25.10?.By the way, it seems I'm late to the game. Another user has done the same: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/inofficial-proxmox-backup-client-rpm-builds-for-rhel-based-distros.122862/

Ccyruspy replied to the thread [March 2026] Proxmox Backup Client - Unofficial ARM64 Install for Ubuntu Server 25.10?.work is actually ongoing, validation will be only done for x86_64 in my personal lab, plus smoke test for aarch64. I expect first batch finished for tomorrow: https://download.opensuse.org/download/repositories/home:/ciriarte:/pbs-client/...

Ccyruspy replied to the thread [March 2026] Proxmox Backup Client - Unofficial ARM64 Install for Ubuntu Server 25.10?.What's the ask specifically?, is it to have a PVE client or a regular Linux client?. I'm working to repack the Linux client for other distros (openSUSE/Rocky), for x86_64 and ARM64, I could extend the work to build for Debian ARM64 until there...

Ccyruspy reacted to fabian's post in the thread proxmox rescue boot no such device pool after upgrading to proxmox 9 with
Like.
please boot using a live CD (the PVE install iso in debug mode is an option, please proceed to the second debug shell in that case) then you can enter your install like this: zpool import -f -R /mnt rpool cd /mnt mount -t proc proc proc mount... -
Ccyruspy replied to the thread CEPH Performance.It should be "nice" :)

Ccyruspy replied to the thread Open-source Cloud Management Platform for Proxmox.That not the target of this kind of solutions. IaaS consumers couldn't care less about ZFS health. I do see the gap, unsure about the way forward though.
-
Ccyruspy replied to the thread Open-source Cloud Management Platform for Proxmox.Reminds me of vSphere and vRealize Automation. The good and the bad parts. I do see the benefit, I'm also trying to define how to present PVE as IaaS. The challenge of implementing a CMP is that you have two duplicated implementations (one...

Ccyruspy posted the thread Windows template preparation in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.Unlike Linux Cloud Images, there are no Windows Server VM images provided by Microsoft, so I created pve-build-windows-template to generate PVE friendly VM templates. A non-interactive run turns a Windows Server ISO into a sysprepped...

Ccyruspy replied to the thread [SOLVED] How do you set up a VM with NVMe interface?.out of curiosity, did you find any performance difference vs virtio-scsi?
