Champion. Thanks, Stefan. It all works now.

I use `debops` (https://debops.org) to manage Debian-based VMs and LXCs. Generally I have no problems, but I've just hit one that I'm hoping somebody might be able to help me with. debops uses `ferm` to manage the firewall. I need to add some rules to the `FORWARD` chain that specify the...

Thanks, @waltar, however, I'd need to understand better what vgcfgrestore does before I commit anything that changes the state. From what I can find, it uses the files in /etc/lvm/archive. There are many files in there because I have had multiple attempts at repairing the thin-pool. There's...

I was updating a server from 7.4 to 8.3 and after rebooting, it's come up without an `lvm-thin` pool. running `lvscan` shows the `pve/data` pool is inactive root@pve14:~# lvscan inactive '/dev/pve/data' [<7.13 TiB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/pve/swap' [7.00 GiB] inherit...

Thanks. I got around it by reinstalling 7.4 and doing an upgrade inplace

I've had a problem when I went to update a ZFS based Proxmox V7 node. It was configured with 4 disks as two RAID1 mirrors in a single pool. The idea was to start afresh with this node and restore the various containers and vms from backups once it was in the cluster To ensure I had a clean...

Oh, and I’ll actually do a clean install of 8 and restore from PBS.

Thanks, Dominik Once I was home and had access to the server and a laptop, I could see that the server was actually sending back a 501 error, but iOS was not displaying it. The server could be pinged but ssh and http access was denied. After connecting a console, I could see that the SSD is...

My proxmox node is running 7.x and is using a self-generated certificate. So, I have to instruct the browser to visit anyway (same for Safari, Chrome, Firefox). This is OK when I access from a Mac or Windows machine, but when I access from an iOS device, I end up with a blank screen. It is live...

I'm running Proxmox 7.4.16 on several (unclustered) nodes. One LXC on one of the nodes repeatedly fails to backup; though it did use to. Normally, it backs up to PBS, but to eliminate this, I ran a backup to local storage and got the following INFO: Backup started at 2023-12-31 13:42:48 INFO...

Thanks. I never did get to the bottom of this. I tried all sorts of ways to cure it, but finally vaped the server and did a re-install.

Nomatter. I now see that the PBS is full of log files! They obviously aren't being purged.

My backup jobs have just started failing. The following extract from the backup job's log shows that it failed with an ENOSPC error. However, there is plenty of space on all disks - including the backup server. INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --all 1...

Hi All I've just added a new node to my home cluster so I can migrate some VMs. However, when I look at the node's disks, it shows LVM-Thin in the list, but LVM-Thin does not show up as a destination for new VMs. The attached image should explain, PVE1 is the problem node. As you can see...

I'm just getting started using Terraform to create LXC on my Proxmox nodes, so this is probably down to permissions. When I use the following Terraform plan to create an LXC, I get an error saying only root can create arbitrary filesystems, however, the provider docs state that a rootfs must be...
