    Is hardening enough?

    A real quick question guys. I have a few containers exposed and I want to be able to protect them as best as I can. At the gateway is NPM and then LXC and vm's. So is hardening the Proxmox firewall sufficient or is it recommended to have something between the NPM and the containers?

    KVM and Opnsense

    Quick question because I've hit a brick wall. Long story short I've loaded Opnsense as a vm running my router in bridge mode. I have several vm's and containers and one of them is Centos Web Panel. Although I've opened up the ports for this and set up port forwarding, ports that are requested to...

    Only half of the drives available ZFS

    This is a pbs 3 install with an LSI SAS9211 with 6x 2tb sas hard drives hosted in a Dell Poweredge R710. PBS is installed on a USB pen and booted from that through BIOS (rather than UEFI) After installation PBS can see all 7 drives. That is to say the 6 sas drives and the USB boot drive. However...

    Flashed to it mode but still no use

    OK, I've gone through the forum and Google over the past few days and can't resolve this issue I have. I have a Dell R710 and removed the Perc h7xx and replaced it with a Perc H200. I then flashed the card so that it was in IT mode with bios so that I could boot to a drive if I wanted to. When...

    Stuck on one thing Pfsense

    Thanks for the reassurance. I guess it is possible that I have misconfigured the DHCP as I have tried to avoid clashing with the Draytek's ip and set the Pfsense to a higher ip range in the same subnet. I'll go back to the console and reconfigure the LAN :)

    Stuck on one thing Pfsense

    Hi guys I hope this is a quick answer for someone. I have installed Pfsense 2.6.0 on Proxmox 7.3.3. The install went well and I installed a WAN (static public ip) and a LAN with a static ip and a DHCP pool. Pinged and all went well and as far as I can see both LAN and WAN are setup fine. This...

    restored backup larger

    Hey guys I wonder if anyone has had this issue before. I backed up an instance of Nextcloud (CT) and restored it through PBS but the difference in data size is astonishing. The restored Nextcloud reports that it is using 32gb, which I believe is a fair account for the amount of data that is...

    [SOLVED] Did I install PFSense correctly?

    Excellent ! Sorry it has taken so long to reply but I've been out of town. I can now see that I haven't set up the Pfsense firewall correctly as I haven't placed it at the perimeter and the clients on a separate internal subnet. My attempt exposed the guests as they were all placed at the...

    [SOLVED] Did I install PFSense correctly?

    I just wanted to ask the community if I have set up PFSense correctly as I've only ever tried to do this once before and failed. My main concern is that the guests are using PFSense to access the internet. OK here's what I did. I already had Proxmox VE installed and running and has about 8 VM's...

    [SOLVED] Restore to new instance of VE

    I wanted to post the results of the weekend. It turns out that changing my NIC card dragged up a lot of problems. That said I can conclude that none of them were actually the fault of Proxmox VE, well not directly. What I did in the end was to reconnect the Proxmox Backup Server to a new...

    [SOLVED] Restore to new PVE

    Hi oguz, I followed your instructions and indeed I was able to restore all of the guests. I have to say that Proxmox Backup Server is a very professional setup and I highly recommend everyone to setup a PBS rather than the old way of backing up. Now I need to learn more about PBS, as I'm sure...
