    Should an official Proxmox "Hardening" wiki page be created?

    As a general thought, I'm wondering if an official Proxmox Hardening wiki page would be useful? Maybe placed here or similar? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Hardening Asking because hardening a server (or cluster thereof) isn't rocket science, but seems to be under documented apart from various...

    Storage (how would you?)

    ...you customize PVE a lot because you want stuff like UPS client, monitoring agent, encryption, SMTP relay server, log collector, security hardening, ... If it is easy to reinstall PVE, you either spend a lot of time initially creating scripts or ansible playbooks to automate all set up. Or you...

    rpcbind

    hi justinclift. we basically restricted rpc to localhost. we did this via adding /etc/systemd/system/rpcbind.socket.d/override.conf: [Socket] ListenStream= ListenDatagram= ListenStream=127.0.0.1:111 ListenDatagram=127.0.0.1:111 ListenStream=[::1]:111 ListenDatagram=[::1]:111 i cant remember...

    rpcbind

    @Thomas Jagoditsch How did things go with this? Asking because I'm working out the process for hardening an internet facing 2 node cluster, and rpcbind looks to be bound by default to udp:111 on both of our nodes as well. We've stopped and disabled the service for now (ie: "systemctl disable...

    A small script for connecting to SPICE client via ssh tunnel

    I'm currently working out the process of hardening a two node Proxmox cluster for internet facing deployment. As part of that I'm moving all ports (other than ssh) to internal network interfaces that aren't publicly accessible. ssh will have it's own security configuration, not covered here...

    Understand and prevent (single drive) ZFS data loss

    Proxmox server hardening document for compliance

    We are currently testing hardening-script from ovh-cloud. https://github.com/ovh/debian-cis Using Level 3 on a PVE-Server and for now it looks like it is still running normal but far more "secured". Would be really nice to have some more guides or a "more" secured default Proxmox-Install...

    Proxmox server hardening document for compliance

    A big part of hardening on any platform is to change default configurations to something more secure. You are right, they both start fairly secure. Install sudo Create and user non-root users Enforce TOTP (TFA) in the GUI on all accounts Ensure TLS certificates for the GUI Harden ssh (guides...

    PVE Cluster Hardening

    The Proxmox VE Cluster uses port 22 (SSH) for data synchronization. In principle, every PVE host in the cluster has equal rights and can connect to every other PVE host in the cluster using SSH. As a result, an attacker who manages to break out of an LXC container or a KVM guest on any PVE host...

    cannot get WSL2 to work in Windows 11, that is virtualized inside of proxmox 8

And naturally it doesn't care about compatibility with other hypervisors than its own: why have anyone...

    How to configure Fail2Ban for PBS

    Hello, I want to configure fail2ban also for the web-gui of PBS. I followed the wiki and it worked well for PVE. I used the systemd-variant. My PBS is installed directly on the PVE hypervisor and whatever I configure, fail2ban is not detecting failed login attempts. Maybe someone else already...

    There is a certain amount of irony here as that I am an IT guy not knowing which way I need to go, as I had other jobs in life and mostly in the stupid windows world, the current result of my proxmox setup is definately too overwhelming and thus issues WILL come, and with far not hassle free and...
