Ccyruspy replied to the thread pve-cli (pc) — a remote-first CLI for Proxmox VE and Datacenter Manager.hello, sure, I'm happy to receive PRs and see it being used. I've addressed the one you've reported.

Ccyruspy replied to the thread PBS on RAIDZ2+HDD, no special file.I had SSD for OS, tried to go the ZFS on bare disks. Failed miserably due to a kernel bug in 7.0. Move to HDD only, 3+3 RAID10 instead of RAIDZ2 (4+2). Went back to hardware RAID1 for boot.

Ccyruspy replied to the thread PBS on RAIDZ2+HDD, no special file.Thanks, will try to split the boot hardware RAID and use a ZFS mirrored partition as special device.

Ccyruspy posted the thread PBS on RAIDZ2+HDD, no special file in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.Hello, I know it has been mentioned several times a special device backed by ssd is mandatory when using HDDs for data to have a bearable solution. If I don't have SSD but RAM is available (128GB), could ARC save me here?

Ccyruspy replied to the thread SQL Server 2022 database corruption.I asked directly, answers were very odd. Do we need our own virtio signed drivers distribution?
-
Ccyruspy replied to the thread SQL Server 2022 database corruption.It seems the original signed driver are stale. Fix was included in https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/releases/tag/mm315 "pre-release and untested binary available"

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...
