Be careful when updating Docker on Proxmox LXC machines (as far as I know): when you run apt update&&apt upgrade, among other packages, containerd.io is updated to 1.7.28-2~debian.13~trixie, so if you try to launch your containers, you will get...
I found the solution to this problem by chance. All you need to do is to schedule a garbage collect job after the backups and the memory will be deflated.
At the PBS UI select your datastore go to Prune & GC Jobs and schedule it daily after the...
Keep your old backups for a long time because you might have silent data corruption that you won't notice for a long time. Then again, ECC only catches memory corruption, not software bugs in ZFS or backup software.
I've suffered data corruption because of drives and memory. The latter also corrupted files (that I edited the most/recently) and backups over quite some time before I noticed the source of the weird instabilities.
Now that I can afford it, I...
We're pleased to announce the release of Proxmox Backup Server 4.1.
This version is based on Debian 13.2 (“Trixie”), uses Linux kernel 6.17.2-1 as the new stable default, and comes with ZFS 2.3.4 for reliable, enterprise-grade storage and...
Hey nalafod, Thank you SO much. I downloaded SystemRescue+ZFS ISO and burnt to USB and it let me boot into the system. Initially the webUI wasn't loading but an apt dist-upgrade told me to run a command which repaired everything.
All up and...
it does. the problems you are referencing had to do with issues specific to kernel version 6.8. simply install using an old (8.1) installer that used kernel version 6.5. or better yet pve9 and not bother with pve8 at all since it will be eol'd...
YEs, I saw the S3 options advices... I had ask and do have a need/use for it, but in an archival setup, not my first/primary and neither my secondary/sync servers, but like my tertiary servers when I need to recover something from a year ago, not...
Do NOT forget about Tuxis.nl -> not associated with them, I just used their services when I initially started using PBS, and it's well priced remote sync options to consider.
Not fancy all bells included, but is does do work as a remote...
We're proud to present the next iteration of our Proxmox Virtual Environment platform. This new version 9.1 is the first point release since our major update and is dedicated to refinement.
This release is based on Debian 13.2 "Trixie" but we're...
its an innocent enough question- but there are a lot of gotchas you need to consider.
Clusters are made up of 3 elements- compute, storage, and networking. lets touch on each.
COMPUTE:
- Dell R630 is a 10 year old platform. as such, it offers...
