Given the number of guides here on configuring PMG, I thought I'd try to put together a guide that covers the latest versions of PMG - now that a number of things mentioned are not supported / functional anymore - or have been built into PMG. Link: http://link.crc.id.au/pmg Would be happy to...

Yeah - I didn't see that most of the list of changes are functional.... I'm trying to document my own steps here: https://link.crc.id.au/pmg Adding to it as I go.... but I need to sleep now.

I've been re-visiting these guides recently, and lots has changed... fail2ban now needs to use nftables instead of iptables, the given DCC stuff doesn't seem to work at all - I don't seem to get any mail scanned by DCC... I'm wondering if anyone has updated these guides in a while?

Thanks @fabian - I didn't think of trying a live migration - as the systems are in two very different locations and network configs are completely different for the VM. I ended up doing a backup to local storage, then scp'ing it between systems and doing a restore on the target. It's kind of...

Trying to migrate a VM from a standalone PVE system to a 2 node clustered PVE system. When I start the migration, it fails quickly with: 2025-07-03 14:51:09 remote: started tunnel worker 'UPID:mel-pm1:00270FB2:07501C9E:68660C3D:qmtunnel:205:root@pam!pdm-admin:'tunnel: -> sending command...

Hi all, I've just gone through rebuilding my PMG server, and I'm trying to do things in a more cluster-friendly way - but there's some files that I add that I just can't get into /etc/pmg etc. Given I back up to Proxmox Backup Server from within PMG, is there a way to add a list of paths /...

However, at the same time - if you're using Proxmox products commercially, I'd strongly recommend a subscription.

I can confirm that this fixed the issue and the backup emails worked successfully. Thanks for letting me know about this setting.

Thanks Chris - while I didn't start this thread, I'd also find this useful. Added a couple of ideas to that BZ ticket that may be useful somewhere down the roadmap.

Ahhh, good catch - I had no idea what I was looking at... Javascript isn't my strong point :D

Ahhhh - gotcha! I did have the Notification mode set to 'Auto'. I changed this to "Notification system" and I'll see what happens after the backups overnight. The message I got was from the mail subsystem - so probably via the local postfix service. As for the checkbox, it shows as: Install...

No rush - I've been experimenting with PBS over the weekend, and this is the first non-pve host that I'm playing with. I'm guessing most people haven't hit this yet - and its really not critical for me, so it certainly isn't a breaking thing for me (and I guess nobody else as I couldn't find...

Yep - I can confirm that using the IP address instead of fqdn seems to function. I'm wondering if the FQDN is being resolved as an IPv6 address and is somehow confusing the : in the resulting repository string? However, I tried both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses - enclosing the IPv6 address in square...

Wait, I just realised you said client version 3.4.2-1... Looking here, I only see 3.4.1 - which I'm currently using. http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs-client/dists/bookworm/main/binary-amd64/ Should I get an update to 3.4.2 somewhere? EDIT: I did find the 3.4.2 client here...

Gotcha - I just tried with the `root@pam` account, that did prompt for a password - but that still core dumped. EDIT: I did try to send you a DM with the full datastore, repository and namespace strings to not have them archived online forever, but seems I'm not allowed to send DMs to you :) I...

Hmmmm - stupid question - when I provide the repository via --repository and not the env, it gives me an error: Error: error building client for repository <repository> - API token secret must be provided! I can't seem to figure out a way to get the client to prompt for this secret. Setting...

Interesting. Would kernel version matter? $ cat /proc/version Linux version 6.15.2-200.fc42.x86_64 (mockbuild@68257c1a2c9d417aaa957cc59746e9d9) (gcc (GCC) 15.1.1 20250521 (Red Hat 15.1.1-2), GNU ld version 2.44-3.fc42) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jun 10 15:17:23 UTC 2025 Just about to update...

Thanks - happy to test a static binary of `proxmox-backup-client` and `pxar` if you can provide one somewhere as a result of that patch.

I've tried extracting the proxmox-backup-client-static deb and copying the files to a Fedora 42 machine. A number of functions seem to fail with an error of "Floating point exception (core dumped)". ie: [root@<$hostname> bin]# proxmox-backup-client task list Floating point exception (core...
