I have a Proxmox backup that run at midnight each night. This backs up the vms & cts to internal storage. I would then like the backup data copied to an external hdd Is it possible to have a script that is run when the backup completes?

I have a need to mount an external hdd inside a CT. The CT user is "plex" however this user has not permissions for the HDD. When I try to set the permissions inside the CT I am denied. root@pve:~# pct set 1018 -mp0 /dev/sdc1,mp=/mnt/External-HDD root@pve:~# pct start 1018 root@pve:~# pct enter...

Hi Wolfgang and thank you for reply. To be clear, am I correct in my understanding that to add a hdd to a CT I need to: a) mount the storage b) add the mounted storage to promox as a directory b) use the pct command to add the directory to the CT Finally I am still unsure of how to remove an...

Hi Wolfgang, still waiting on an answer to this question please. Can I also ask as a variation of the original question how I can add a physical disk to a CT. i.e. On my host I have /dev/sdc1 which I wish to be able to access in a CT

Over the weekend I attempted to migrate two physical servers to pve. One 2003 & one 2008R2. Using Clonezilla the 2003 migration went fine, updated hardware and drivers to virtio and all is well. After 20+ hours of copying data the 2008R2 migration failed to start. It starts with a flash of a...

I have a basic 192.168.1.x LAN: Proxmox @ 192.168.1.1 IPCop GW & DNS @ 192.168.1.254 Proxmox has two bridges vmbr0 = 192.168.1.1/24 GW @ 192.168.1.254 vmbr1 => DHCP @ broadband modem My physical W/S @ 192.168.1.101 I am undertaking some study and an exercise requires me to setup a router VM...

I have created a CT using the CentOS7 template. When I try to set the timezone it fails as per: set-timezone Australia/Melbourne Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)...

I am a VERY new user so I would expect i am using the newest versions of everything. How can I verify this?

Hi Dietmar, I was monitoring the memory usage using the Proxmox GUI, CT summary tab. The source and destination were Samba shares that I copied between using my Ubuntu desktop PC.

Hi Wolfgang, this worked perfectly. Now I know how at add a 2nd disk to a CT how do I remove it as this cannot be done in the GUI either at this point.

actually, just checking there is not a problem. is this behaviour normal/expected ? why does the memory usage increase to 512mb and after completion of the job I would have expected the memory usage to return to 128mb...

I have a CT with 512mb ram and after boot it only uses 128mb or so. When I copy a large amount of data to the CT the memory maxes out at 512mb After the copy has completed the memory in use remains at 512mb If I reboot the CT the memory in use returns to 128mb

Hi Wolfgang, does this persist a reboot?

Still learning Proxmox... I have a container that has an 8gb LVM root disk and works. I now want to add a 2nds 100gb LVM disk to the container and have it mounted at /mnt/data In kvm I could do this easily however I am still getting my head around containers and none of my research has...

I am new to Proxmox and learning fast... I have a few VMs and a few CTs that I wish to maintain accurate time on. Q1) Does the Proxmox host present as an ntp server that VMs can sync against using ntpd? Q2) Do CTs get their time from the host meaning they will always be in sync and need no...

Yes, acls are enabled. It was a Samba error that has another resolution however the error implies acls were not enabled. All good now thanks.

I am installing Samba in a CT and have discovered I need acl extensions enabled in the fs. I have configured LVM for my CTs and believe the CT is using ext4 root@ares:~# mount | grep "^/dev" /dev/mapper/virtual--machines-vm--1013--disk--1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) The following...

Hi Q-wulf and thanks. I have narrowed down the problem to the modem itself. The modem is configured to only allow connections from 172.28.57.122 and DHCP was locked to the first MAC to connect. i.e. the VM/CT was unable to get a DHCP address as the pxe MAC was the first connection. If I set...
