    Linux Containers LxC, OpenVZ, Docker and more

    Yes, mainly for newcomers in virtualization, shows with easy-to-understand diagrams what are VMs versus containers. Thanks for the link! The article lists what exists, but does not bring any technical details. Not directly about this article, but mentioned occasionally to it: from my point...

    noob questions: configuring storage for home server

    Hello monkeyboy That is the clearest solution. Define it as NFS share. Access to the above mentioned share via internal virtual network from each VM. What you need in all VMs is an NFS client. For all linux distros packages are available, for windows see e.g. here...

    Voilà! Since I don´t have a Wiki account I send it as attachment. I suggest to use as titel "VirtualBox" (with capital letter "B" as Oracle does). Success! Mr.Holmes

    Strange behavior when backup to Win 2012 NFS Service

    Hello ewuewu can you post cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg and pvesm status and df from the host(s) ? How about accessing NFS backup storage directly from Proxmox command line, e.g. copying a file? Is it slow too? And the opposite: when you backup to a local storage - works fine? These...

    Proxmox with a guest firewall (ipfire)

    Hello FuriousRage If I undestood correctly: You want to block access to 192.168.0.99 from VMs and other physical endpoints in subnet 192.168.0.ß0./24. Simply not possible by the ipfire guest - it is not involved in that traffic. It must be done in the Proxmox server. And it is easy, just use...

    How to download all the OpenVZ Appliances

    Don´t think so - but a script should not be a problem, looks like this: wget download.proxmox.com/appliances/system/centos-4-standard_4.9-1_amd64.tar.gz wget download.proxmox.com/appliances/system/centos-4-standard_4.9-1_i386.tar.gz wget...

    KVM: Can't add bridged mode to VM

    Hello Kaya, looks like a bug - do you have the actual version? pveversion -v proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.3-138 (running kernel: 2.6.32-33-pve) pve-manager: 3.3-5 (running version: 3.3-5/bfebec03) pve-kernel-2.6.32-33-pve: 2.6.32-138 .... In the actual version first comes "VLAN tag:" and then...

    Problems with pve-firewall

    Hello Cesar What I understand is you want to have something like separate networks: - one for cluster and Proxmox host communication - one for (communication between) VMs To make just this (without thinking about other networks, see below) you can connect the VMs to a VLAN which runs tagged...

    Configuring 2 NICs in VM Centos 6.5

    Hello jorgevr86 What does "recognized" mean in this context? If all 4 are available in the host and you want to use 2 o them for connections to VMs you have to - define (at least) 2 bridges, e.g. vmbr0 and vmbr1 - define (at least) 2 virtual NICs for the VMs (and they will be "recognized"...

    Virtual Firewall

    Hello sohaib, Different methods are possible - difficult to say which one is the best for your request without knowing more details (as what in particular you want to allow, block, is traffic between VMs allowed etc.). But I would prefer a - from my point of view - much better solution: *...

    Removing Disk Images not returning space

    Hello Klas After thinking about it I think I know what happened: In a machine without hotplug you removed the disk but did not stop (really switch off, not just a reboot) the machine. I never would try to remove a disk from a running machine - anyway, if you want to do it set "Hotplug" to...

    Removing Disk Images not returning space

    Seems to be a problem in your file system - Proxmox does not attach any more the released virtual disk after removing it from "Unused" state. I tried it out with an NFS storage which is formatted as ext4 - both "df -h" in NFS fileserver and "Summary" in Proxmox increases the free space by the...

    Proxmox under Virtualbox - no outbound networking

    Hello Martin, Note regarding vbox networking: - wlan bridging is not reliable - bridging in virtual Proxmox to virtual vbox network ("Host only") does not work fine, because vbox switching does not accept the MAC addresses of the virtual Proxmox NIC (veth devices) - vbox NAT does not work...

    proxmox web page Cant Connect

    Hello paulb787 What I undestood from your 1st post (But now I am not sure any more - posting more precisely your need would help): There are 2 networks: LAN and WAN. VMs are connected with both, WAN has a gateway to internet, LAN is connected with some other PCs (as e.g. PC1) too. Currently...

    proxmox web page Cant Connect

    Hello paulb787 As far as I understood (maybe you can describe your configuration more precise) you connect via NIC1´s (wan) IP to Proxmox web gui and pfsense restricts access from LAN to WAN. Simplest solution: define a LAN IP address in Proxmox host at NIC2 respectively where it is bridged...

    Migration lvm->qcow2 and local to nfs-storge

    Hello Gerd, What does it mean "timeout trouble"? Should also work - still a problem? Online is not possible for local storage What fails in case of Offline? I think after you had moved the stored as described above to NFS there is no local storage any more. Kind regards Mr.Holmes
