The reseller (Maurer IT Systems) referred me to login to my.proxmox.com however I am unable to login there. The system does not send password resets to my commonly used email address (or my less commonly used one) and now my IP is banned from attempting too many logins. Can you remove my IP...

My web interface shows valid subscription but "apt update" gives "401 unauthorized". I have two servers (both subscribed). The first can update successfully but the second cannot. The successful one is using version 5 (stretch) and the bad one version 6 (buster).

Yes, we use imap, a webmail client (that is technically an imap client) and command line access (so someone may still be using Pine to directly read mailboxes on the server). The email is just in mbox format in the mail spool and in archives in user home directories. It's all in the VM. I...

I know this is a very old post, but I'm wondering about the same thing here. I did some other searching an a utility called "zerofree" is designed to do this exact task for ext2, ext3 and ext4 file systems and that dumping zeros into one large file has some big disadvantages...

When I first started doing sys admin, I had a server with no RAID and only weekly tape backups (required 3 tapes). That was a mess. I had two drive failures and restores from tape in less than a year, one during a holiday. I upgraded to a RAID config with rsync backups to another server also...

I intend to make a temporary cluster from a PVE 5.4 and PVE 6 node and then do an online migration of two VMs to the new node Then I would shutdown the PVE 5.4 node and reinstall as version 6. Since no cluster currently exists, can I just follow the instructions for setting up a cluster, or do...

I agree... backups are of prime importance. I currently use rsnapshot to back up the data nightly to a physical server in another part of the building. Come to think of it, I should probably have a second emergency backup of the data. As I said, the VMs aren't backed up, but I do have detailed...

I created my first PVE node over a year ago and have used it successfully, but I feel like I always have many questions. The documentation explains the options, but everything is very complex and it's not always clear what the best practice is for my situation. In my current environment, I have...

Thank you! I have it working now. The "laptop mode" perfectly describes what I wanted to accomplish. On the laptop, the WiFi interface is inferior to an Ethernet connection, but is better then nothing, hence an active-backup setting which prioritizes the Ethernet is desired. The only thing...

I've configured my server with a bonded and bridged connection and seem to have gotten in a little over my head. Our networking group's switch configuration may also be involved. I have kernel logs going back to July 16th and since August 14th I keep periodically getting the following error...

I found an old thread with info that solved my intermittent network issues. I'm getting some duplicate IPv6 address error on the guest OS and disabling duplicate address detection for IPv6 on the guest makes it function seamlessly... though I guess if there really is a duplicate address instead...

I realize this thread is quite old, but I'm having exactly this problem with a bond + bridge (in active-backup rather than balance-rr). My connection keeps dropping out for 3 to 10 seconds a couple times per minute. I used "watch" on the /var/log directory to see if any logs were changing...

I finally got a working configuration a few days after making this post. I'm not sure if it is completely right because I'm having a network problem on my first test VM. The test VM connects fine, but has intermittent drops in network connectivity. Other than that, it works great. I can pull...

Hmm. Maybe my network operations center can offer some advice. Or maybe I should do some testing with only the bridge and no bond before getting the bond involved.

I'm new to VM's, bridges and bonding. The network configuration page suggests some settings but leaves many things unclear to me. I want to bond two NICs, a 1G and a 10G, in active-backup mode with the 10G as primary. Then I want to use a bridge so that all my VM's use the 10G and failover to...
