The USB ports in these older system are notoriously unreliable, and using that for PBS which is a heavy on the I/O appliance is really asking for trouble. In addition to that using a spinning disk as your backup data store is also a problem due to the heavy I/O loading. I think that Proxmox...

How are you connecting the Nvidia 2060 to the NUC Box, are you connected via the Thunderbolt port? Have you enabled the device in the thunderbolt security settings? And in the BIOS.? There are 2 thunderbolt tools which need to be installed in Proxmox to control the thunderbolt port, however I...

Why would anyone want to publish their Proxmox admin web console over the internet.? Surely the wiser approach would be to route that traffic via some sort of VPN, that is unless you are planning on providing access to the public.

I don't mean add-ons as in the case of modifying the Proxmox interface, I mean add-ons as separate tools which interact with the Proxmox API.

There are a multitude of 3rd party add-ons available for Proxmox, I personally think the Devs should focus on getting the core competences in the Proxmox environment functioning at its best and most stable. Let the 3rd party Devs out there deal with the add-ons which bring value to the users so...

I have 2x TrueNAS storage boxes, but I turned to OMV to handle drives connected via USB (currently 3x connected). I tried multiple LXC options and ZimaOS before settling on OMV running in VM as the most stable solution with USB connected drives. Just pass the USB connected drive through to the...

That script is for the CPU microcode update, it is not relevant to GPU pass-through. I have run the update script on my node without issue.

Hi, What host system / type of USB port are you connecting to there?. I've used a few of the USB to 2.5 / 5 / 10Gbps network adapters, and the older USB3.0 ports are not at all stable. I have around 5 different models of these NIC's sitting in draws now. USB3.1 / 3.2 ports are more stable...

Hi athompson3117, I have done a similar setup for my secondary PBS, but I've used ISCSI as the target, which is presented to the PBS as a block device, just like a drive. That does improve the performance but in regular use I use the sync feature to pull the backups from the primary PBS.

Well I finally got the boltclt list -a to identify my devices after going through all my config and ensuring that nothing related was actually blacklisted from the attempts at iGPU passthrough. Now I can enroll my device OK, it shows enabled but no syspath domain. root@pve-5:~# boltctl enroll...

Reconnecting a PBS to a backup datastore, is not a simple process, it's not like connecting to an SMB/NFS share, believe me, I've done it, and even 1st time connecting to an external datastore is not a simple process because the PBS needs complete ownership of the store.! If you do go down that...

Have you checked for the latest USB4 update from ASUS.? (it appears to be separate from the BIOS firmware) I'm having a problem with a USB4 egpu dock, which I've worked on for weeks, and my system (Aoostar WTR MAX), uses the same USB4 controller, the ASM4242. ASUS recently released a firmware...

Hi exaveal, The question should not be, is it possible, but how would you recover should the host die when it is hosting both the PVS & PBS.??? I'm assuming that you are not backing up the full 12TB of Proxmox VM's/LXC's along with the media data? The backup of the media data should be a...

Sorry @Impact I was writing my reply as yours came in. I did try a second backup, but it was still crawling the entire 2TB of that folder, even if it didn't upload anything to the PBS. The Only way I could exclude it was to take the folder out of the root folder completely, and for that I...

Just a heads up on this backup issue. After a couple of days of digging into the fault, I found that I could exclude the offending folder (meilisearch) from the backup, but then the app wouldn't start after restore. So the dev made a change to scan for the folder on start-up and restore from a...
