UdoB replied to the thread Can a Proxmox VM Feel Like Bare Metal? Dual 144Hz + GPU Passthrough + Low Latency.Yes, it can work. But it increases complexity. Drastically, from my point of view. Perhaps the "Dev workstation"-concept may be interesting for you? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Workstations_with_Proxmox_VE_and_X11... -
UdoB reacted to SInisterPisces's post in the thread [Small Office/Home Office Deployment] Any Benefit to Combining Clustering and PDM-Based Management on Small-Scale Local Deployment? with
Like.
Interesting discussion. I'm confident in my approach now. For my needs, PDM should be fine by itself without setting up actual clusters. If I had identical machines and wanted to use clustering to sync up their network configuration with SDN or... -
Alexander Wirt of Proxmox Partner Credativ did a PoC patch too and a talk on it at the FrosCon conference at University of applied sciences Sankt Augustin near Bonn: https://github.com/credativ/FrOSCon2026-microvm/ His talk is in German but...

Hi, @mickyface But UdoB asked you: "PS: please use code-blocks, either by utilizing the "</>" symbol or by inserting ... manually for all terminal output." Because screenshots of terminal output are discouraged.

UdoB replied to the thread [SOLVED] Partition on large iscsi target failed.What kind of disks are used and how many. How is the storage organized? You can (just for debugging/testing) try to use a much, much smaller target. If that works you know the mechanism is ok and the capacity raises problems. ---- PBS needs...

UdoB replied to the thread [Small Office/Home Office Deployment] Any Benefit to Combining Clustering and PDM-Based Management on Small-Scale Local Deployment?.Yeah. I am definitely a fan of Proxmox - both the company and the software suite. But it lacks some comfort; compare this: "Rolling Node Updates - Update Proxmox nodes one by one with automatic VM evacuation" -...

UdoB replied to the thread Proxmox backup and documentation.There are multiple valid strategies and tools, of course. I am using a "historical" mix of Mediawiki and Gitlab. You may start with storing away the output of pvereport - it is really valuable if you have to restart from scratch. Tipp: try to...

You right, somehow I understood that there are SSD for OS but not SSD to dedicate to SD, so imagined that OP wanted to devote some space on those SSD for SD.

UdoB replied to the thread [Small Office/Home Office Deployment] Any Benefit to Combining Clustering and PDM-Based Management on Small-Scale Local Deployment?.It is by definition a Single-Point-of-Failure. With an actual cluster you would eliminate that aspect ;-) And a cluster makes frequent maintenance so much easier. How many Kernel-upgrades did we have this year? I've rebooted my systems 20 to...

For replication clustering isn't actually needed since you could also use pve-sync for it. The story is different for high-availability though, that feature needs a cluster. Only @SInisterPisces know whether he needs it or not though ;) One...

UdoB reacted to J-Rod's post in the thread [Small Office/Home Office Deployment] Any Benefit to Combining Clustering and PDM-Based Management on Small-Scale Local Deployment? with Like.
The main advantage I see of having two PVE servers in the same cluster is that you can easily set up and manage replication between the hosts using the PVE GUI. When you need to do maintenance to one of the servers, you can hot migrate all of...

Usually but why not test it in a virtual PVE? :)

UdoB replied to the thread PBS on RAIDZ2+HDD, no special file.This is only HDD, zero SSD. (As of #1) Having a "separate" Special Device on the very same spindles makes no sense. Actually we know not much at all. What actual drives are available? How many? How many (unused) connectors has the controller...

UdoB replied to the thread [SOLVED] [Virtualizing PDM] Host PVE Node Uses ZFS Storage. When installing PDM inside VM, EXT4 or ZFS?.That's interesting. Basically it's a great example of having the same information as everybody and coming to the exact opposite conclusion. While personally I would not go that road: if it works for you, it is fine! :-) (( It may depend on...

UdoB reacted to Bu66as's post in the thread Neuinstallation mit ZFS: verschiedene Größenangaben with Like.
Die Swap-Frage aus #16 ist hier irgendwie untergegangen: ja, auf die 256er ist genau richtig. Swap als zvol im rpool kann dir unter RAM-Druck den Host einfrieren (Kernel will swappen, ZFS braucht dafür selbst RAM), deshalb legt der Installer bei...

Einen Wireguard Server (egal ob nativ, mit OpenWRT oder OPNsene) zu konfigurieren UND das ganze in die PVE Network config einzuarbeiten ist nicht ganz trivial. Man kann alles machen, wenn man die nötigen Kenntnisse hat... das eignet mansich auch...
-
Bei Host vs. LXC noch ein Punkt: wenn WireGuard im Container läuft, hat der Host selbst gar keine WG-IP, an die sich pveproxy überhaupt binden könnte. Du müsstest den Kram dann per Routing/NAT aus dem LXC zum Host schaufeln, und die...

UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread [SOLVED] [Virtualizing PDM] Host PVE Node Uses ZFS Storage. When installing PDM inside VM, EXT4 or ZFS? with Like.
It was a typo, I corrected. Thanks for the hint ;) I meant that ext4 is more robust than xfs e.g. in case of a power failure while xfs is said to perform better with databases and similiar workloads. Another difference is, that ext4 can shrink...

UdoB replied to the thread [SOLVED] [Virtualizing PDM] Host PVE Node Uses ZFS Storage. When installing PDM inside VM, EXT4 or ZFS?.Yeah, that's fine as long it is useful inside of the VM For pure testing it it fine - as there are definitely other rules than for a productive system. I am sure you know the recommendation to pass-through a controller for this, before going...
