I didn't install any kernel's myself. However I'm not running any containers...only VMs. Ah ok...I saw this chart and assumed Debian was running a higher version : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history Can I just squeeze in that last question about apt autoclean...

Also...I'm asssuming running apt autoclean, autoremove and purge is a recommended?

Ok...so seems like that work flow does not upgrade the kernel? I am inside a VM that has run all commands and rebooted twice yet it is still running an old kernel. root@server:~# hostnamectl Virtualization: kvm Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Kernel: Linux...

Ok. So glad I asked I about this important stuff. Thanks again...I've got some work to do :)

I prefer to do things via cli. So no need to run apt upgrade..., just apt update and apt dist-upgrade, then reboot. That will take care of proxmox. For the VMs (all are running Debian bookworm)..is the same rules?

I haven't updated in a while but I have updated many times. I don't know when I've rebooted last...I know its happened but I never did it unless I had to. Ok, so it sounds like I need to setup a routine when I update, upgrade, dist-upgrade and reboot. I will also sign up for security...

Rebooting is not currently part of my process. I can make it happen but that requires downtime of course and critical things are running on this server. I have never run dist-upgrade...I didn't even know about it honestly. To answer your questions : root@server:~# apt update Hit:1...

I am currently setup running the no-subscription repo. And I do the normal apt update/upgrade. However this doesn't upgrade the kernel right? I'm not sure what is required for that. Also, 6.2.16 is not getting patched any longer so I'm not clear how that is going to help. Thanks for your...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to learn about proper security procedure with proxmox. On my current server : root@server:~# hostnamectl Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Kernel: Linux 6.2.16-8-pve Architecture: x86-64 It seem's 6.2.16 had gone EOL one year...

You likely don't have rsyslog installed. apt install rsyslog I was able to find what I needed via ‘journalctl -u postfix’. That let me learn that I was having an issue with how credentials were handled

I gave up and decided the best approach was to block access to the form via firewall.

Hello everyone, I am trying to setup postfix to send me system emails via gmail exchange. I've had this setup without issue on proxmox 7. I am now running proxmox 8 fully updated. I set everything up. Unfortunateyl the following two commands (using proper email addresses) do not work. ```...

They explain it all in this thread. The VM is separate and requires all rules applied to it. Just put the security group on the VM as well as the datacenter.

I thought that applying a security group (the one called "datacenter" but I can rename it) to the VM that declared port 22 open would do that. For some reason it isn't working and I don't understand why. Could it because it is being used at the datacenter level already? Thanks for your patience.

Sorry...my security group naming convention I think confused matters. I have a "datacenter" security group...it is currently applied to my datacenter and handles allowing port 22 for a specific IP only. This works perfectly for my hypervisors. I want the same rule to apply my VM. It seems...

Hello everyone, I have 2 security groups. One is applied to the datacenter and allows port 22 access. Another is applied to the virtual machine and allows VPN access. This works fine as far as I can tell. However, today I found the setting, under a virtual machine => Firewall => Options =>...

Hello everyone, I followed this guide : https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Fail2ban Then implemented all the attempts @ https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/pve-8-0-%E2%80%93-fail2ban-log-locations-missing.129338/ When I manually trigger the maxretrys nothing happens. When I run the test code provided...

Thank you for the detailed response. Based on some reading it seems one option I have is purchase a cheaply hosted 3rd member for the cluster that does just voting. Does this seem like a good option in your opinion? In regards to IP management. I've set up PF sense before but that was all in the...

Hello everyone, I'm a relatively new system admin. I have two dedicated servers at two different data centers. I was hoping to find a simple setup where my second/backup server was kept "hot" and I was able to swap to it if things went south on my primary server. Could someone tell me the...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to setup proxmox firewall for the first time. I've used ufw, csf, firewalld prior...seems like having an integrated solution would be nice and my rules aren't super complicated.I was planning on setting up some security groups and applying them. My main confusion...
