As an alternative I create daily backups and keep monthly backups using a hard link As a cronjob the following looks for files newer than 1 day and generates a hardlink with a monthly_ prefix 0 15 1 * * cd /backup/proxmox/dump; find * -mtime -1 -type f -exec ln {} monthly_{} \;

Regarding release on production repositories Edit: I switched to the ``test`` release channel, but it would be nice to have it on the release channel soon

Hi, any news on this? Thanks!

I guess it should be: lxc.prlimit.nofile: 65536 I have not tried it yet Edit: Corrected config setting. New ulimit can be checked with root@ct ~ # ulimit -Hn

vzdump could be extended to include zstd als compress option and issue an error if zstd is not installed. Implementation is similar to 'pigz'.

+1 Zstd is now available in debian stretch and supports multithreaded compression. I'm already using it for personal disk backups with >300MB/s compression speeds on consumer hardware.

It is a good start. Keepalived offers 2 important features: - Floating IP with VRRP for High Availability - Load Balancing on layer 3 or 4 I use floating IP and Nginx for load-balancing and SSL and HTTP2 termination. I highly recommend using gratuitous ARP with keepalived. A switch reboot could...

Both hosts work independently. You could use keepalived as a loadbalancer. Basic setup: 2x keepalived VMs which share a single and load-balance traffic to nodes In my case I use 2x Nginx VMs as proxy load-balancer with 2x floating IP and DNS load balancing. If one host is down, the second host...

Hi, i use keepalived to float a single IP between VMs. You can also add additional checks for your server or similar. Regards, Patrick

It has been merged today! https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/5769

Thanks Wolfgang! I was not aware it is already in Proxmox 5.0. A wiki update would be much appreciated: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Unprivileged_LXC_containers I'm still on Proxmox 4. As a workaround I'm using lxc.hook.pre-start and prlimit on parent-parent-pid (=> lxc-start)...

Hi, I'm also trying to raise ulimits in LXC. Unfortunately ulimits are not passed from pvedaemon/pveproxy to containers. pvedaemon and pveproxy raised to 256k open files. As well as nofile in /etc/security/limits.conf # cat /etc/systemd/system/pvedaemon.service.d/nofiles.conf [Service]...

Safari websockets require a valid ssl certificate or added to keychain (always trust checkbox). See: https://github.com/novnc/websockify/wiki/Encrypted-Connections

I also considered ZFS RAID-1 on USB flash drives, but decided to use small SSDs for reliability. In case you run ceph mon and/or mds on the same host, I would also recommend SSDs. Are there any reliable USB flash drives?

Reminds me of an openvz upstart udev problem. Some migrated containers took 5 minutes to start. inittab was blocked by udev. Unfortunately openvz enforces upstart instead of sysvinit in newer debian 7 templates. There should be a file "/etc/apt/preferences.d/parallels" that prevents sysvinit...
