If your Synology NAS sitting useless and you cannot use it for anything else, it makes sense to use it to store your backups via a NFS or iSCSI mountpoint. Yes it wont be the best performing backup server but your scenario looks like you dont have very large backup needs into several terabytes...

Since this is a backup server, I would go with the first option with Intel E5-1650 CPU. Put the other one for heavier load such as VM node. Better use of hardware in my opinion. That also has 256GB RAM. So use of ZFS storage in Raid-Z3 would give you much more usable space while tolerating 3...

Another option perhaps would be to create a new PBS datastore, that way each backup job will backup to each datastore with own pruning and schedule. If you are using ZFS storage, its just a matter of creating a new dataset and use that for the new datastore.

I am unclear what you are meaning by 2 hosts. Do you intend to create 2 separate PBS nodes? Easiest thing would be of course to replace the PSU. I am assuming it is not possible in your current scenario. If your original ZFS drives are intact from the PBS, you can simply transfer all the drives...

No, it does not matter, if that's the specific setup you are looking for. I will give you my version to make this work. It comes down to if the hardware supports it or not, really. - First thing to check if the CPU and Mboard supports IOMMU (Inet VT-d for intel, AMD-VI for AMD). - Also have...

@Dariusz Is there any particular reason you don't want to use bridges? That will be the simplest and cleanest configuration without extra layers. This sort of passthrough setup will always depend on the hardware itself. If the NIC goes, you will be down till you find another suitable replacement.

If you are using BGP on pfsense, the simplest setup would be to use EVPN on Proxmox side and BGP on pfsense side. If you are trying to get rid of the pfsense and rather have everything on Proxmox SDN plain, that is possible too. As you can imagine, BGP is not the most common configuration, you...

@fenix1983 Also check DNS configuration. Improper DNS setting on the host will cause internet issue for both LXC and the host.

It looks to me a cable issue. If you are using Cat5 and not Cat5e or Cat6, the speed would be limited. Perhaps double-check the cable going into the proxmox host? The screenshot does show it is connecting over 1gbps bandwidth, as that's what is available to it.

The bond-master is not required to get LACP working. The syntax bond-slaves <primary-interface> <secondary-interface> is enough. Bond-master is old way of doing things. Adding it to the GUI would be going backward. If you remove or comment out the bond-master then reboot, I believe you will see...

Do you see similar result if you try to run nmap for other port such as 8006? SSH server is answering on all interface. The proxmox gui on port 8006 should only answer to the management IP. I believe you will see the nmap is picking up the right mac address for the management interface every time.

What @Dunuin said is fully correct. You want to leave your hypervisor alone as much as possible for good reason. Specially if you are thinking of deploying something like nginx. I never tried it. It may mess up your Proxmox GUI dashboard or, it may not. You will find out. There is pre-built...

Yes, you can try this configuration as well. The code will look like this: auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address X.X.X.X/X gateway X.X.X.X bridge-ports bond0 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 bridge-vlan-aware yes bridge-vids 2-4094 mtu 9000 auto...

Use this revised code: auto vmbr450 iface vmbr450 inet manual bridge-ports bond0.450 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 vlan-raw-device bond0 mtu 9000

If you are trying to configure a VM with a dedicated bridge as well, then do the following configuration. Do not create a separate vlan450: auto vmbr450 iface vmbr450 inet manual bridge-ports bond0 bridge-vlan-aware yes bridge-vids 450 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 mtu 9000 auto vlan450 iface...
