That's a good question. One thing I like about RHEL-based systems are the ten years of low-risk support that go with them. Meaning the servers I setup back in 2014 for a particular task will be supported with security updates until 2024, without me having to worry about new features full of new...

Hi, After playing around with Proxmox Backup Server for a couple weeks, I must say I really like it. One thing that would be very nice : support for RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux. It would be nice if all my Red Hat-based hypervisors could send their VM backups to PBS. I don't mind if there's a...

It does very well. Thank you very much.

Hi, I successfully configured a LetsEncrypt certificate on my PVE installation on a Dedibox (Scaleway) root server. Here's what the PVE administration guide says in chapter 3: I checked this service on my machine, but it doesn't seem to be activated in the default configuration: $ systemctl...

Got it ! Works like a charm ! Thanks !

Hi, Up until now my main production server is a "bare metal" installation of Oracle Linux 7.9 (a RHEL clone like CentOS) hosting a variety of stuff. DNS server with BIND for eight domains IMAP mail server with Postfix and Dovecot for these domains, with about two dozen mail accounts Webmail...

Thanks very much. I spent the best part of a cloudy afternoon experimenting with PVE and PBS, and I've made quite some progress. I can't seem to configure a maximum number of backups. On my "classic" backup server (running Rsnapshot) I'm keeping a maximum of 7 daily snapshots. As soon as a...

Hi, I have a working Proxmox VE on a public server (sd-155842.dedibox.fr) with a handful of VMs installed. Nothing fancy, just a low-cost root server with a single SSD and 4 GB RAM, but everything works nicely. I just installed Proxmox Backup Server on a different public server...

Hi, I've been fiddling with Proxmox these past few weeks, and I like it very much. I have yet to discover Proxmox Backup Server. Before I dive head first into the documentation, one general question. Can I use Proxmox Backup Server to handle remote incremental backups on hypervisors that are...

Hi, I'm using the following procedure to resize (e. g. expand) a VM: Datacenter > sd-155842 > Oracle-Linux-7.9 > Hard disk > Resize disk > Size Increment (GB) : 10 Start the VM and connect to it. # yum install cloud-utils-growpart # lsblk # growpart -v /dev/sda 3 # resize2fs /dev/sda3 Note...

I'll answer this myself, since I just found a workaround. Creating the ACME account works as long as I'm doing it in the console using 'sudo': $ sudo pvenode acme account register default info@microlinux.fr Directory endpoints: 0) Let's Encrypt V2 1) Let's Encrypt V2 Staging 2) Custom Enter...

Hi, These last two weeks I've been fiddling extensively with Proxmox installed on a pair of servers, a local and a public sandbox machine. So far things are running nicely. Currently I'm fine-tuning everything and sanding down the edges. One of the steps suggested in many online tutorials is...

I'll answer that myself, since I just found the solution here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Troubleshooting#Switch_novnc_KVM_console sendkey ctrl-alt-f3 did the trick !

Hi, I just installed Proxmox on a Scaleway root server. Runs nice so far. I can't seem to figure out how to switch between virtual consoles in a virtual machine. In classical KVM + Virtual Machine Manager, there's a dropdown menu where you can send Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc. until...

Hi, On a fresh installation of Proxmox VE on a Scaleway root server, I managed to configure a LetsEncrypt certificate using the GUI. Is there a way to perform this on the command line and non-interactively ? So eventually I could put this command in a shell script and provide the public...
