    [SOLVED] Another lost password post - help with accessing a vm/guest

    This fixed things. Thanks Lee for pointing me to check for the LVM. For others, if you follow the bytefreaks instructions, they mostly work. After the passwd -S bob; this gets you the (S)tatus of the user's passwordd; then follow that up with a passwd bob; to actually set your password

    [SOLVED] Proxmox and OPNsense setup fails

    [SOLVED] Proxmox and OPNsense setup fails

    So this setting is wrong. Some of the other post/setups that referred to this were router behind router (double NAT) setups. If your WAN DHCP gives you a 192.168.x.x or 172.(16-32?).x.x or 10.x.x.x address then you do need it. Most cases don't.

    More variations for the answer... * does anyone see anything wrong with the plan * do you have OPNsense/pfSense running in a similar fashion, if so, what is your layout

    [SOLVED] Proxmox and OPNsense setup fails

    Also, I know Proxmox has some firewall capabilities. I'm choosing OPNsense because I am more familiar with it. And I'd like to build a VPN to the LAN segment from outside.

    HW opinion ASRock X570D4U + 5700x

    Hmm, ALFi's reply does not seem to show here. I guess he/she sent a private msg? Anyway his points were - works good for me in basic setup and why no AM5 platform plan? ASRockRack does have a B650D4U series that uses the AMD 7000 series CPU. Basically I'm worried enough about the x570 chipset...

    HW opinion ASRock X570D4U + 5700x

    Hello, I'm looking for opinions on using this hardware for a small office (production) server. I've been looking through the forum and I see some people having problems with IOMMU, Titan cards, and other specific use cases. My use case is rather basic. A box running (2) Windows 2019/22 servers...
