That's a good question. One thing I like about RHEL-based systems are the ten years of low-risk support that go with them. Meaning the servers I setup back in 2014 for a particular task will be supported with security updates until 2024, without me having to worry about new features full of new...

Hi, After playing around with Proxmox Backup Server for a couple weeks, I must say I really like it. One thing that would be very nice : support for RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux. It would be nice if all my Red Hat-based hypervisors could send their VM backups to PBS. I don't mind if there's a...

It does very well. Thank you very much.

Hi, I successfully configured a LetsEncrypt certificate on my PVE installation on a Dedibox (Scaleway) root server. Here's what the PVE administration guide says in chapter 3: I checked this service on my machine, but it doesn't seem to be activated in the default configuration: $ systemctl...

Got it ! Works like a charm ! Thanks !

Hi, Up until now my main production server is a "bare metal" installation of Oracle Linux 7.9 (a RHEL clone like CentOS) hosting a variety of stuff. DNS server with BIND for eight domains IMAP mail server with Postfix and Dovecot for these domains, with about two dozen mail accounts Webmail...

Thanks very much. I spent the best part of a cloudy afternoon experimenting with PVE and PBS, and I've made quite some progress. I can't seem to configure a maximum number of backups. On my "classic" backup server (running Rsnapshot) I'm keeping a maximum of 7 daily snapshots. As soon as a...

Hi, I have a working Proxmox VE on a public server (sd-155842.dedibox.fr) with a handful of VMs installed. Nothing fancy, just a low-cost root server with a single SSD and 4 GB RAM, but everything works nicely. I just installed Proxmox Backup Server on a different public server...

Hi, I've been fiddling with Proxmox these past few weeks, and I like it very much. I have yet to discover Proxmox Backup Server. Before I dive head first into the documentation, one general question. Can I use Proxmox Backup Server to handle remote incremental backups on hypervisors that are...

Hi, I'm using the following procedure to resize (e. g. expand) a VM: Datacenter > sd-155842 > Oracle-Linux-7.9 > Hard disk > Resize disk > Size Increment (GB) : 10 Start the VM and connect to it. # yum install cloud-utils-growpart # lsblk # growpart -v /dev/sda 3 # resize2fs /dev/sda3 Note...

I'll answer this myself, since I just found a workaround. Creating the ACME account works as long as I'm doing it in the console using 'sudo': $ sudo pvenode acme account register default info@microlinux.fr Directory endpoints: 0) Let's Encrypt V2 1) Let's Encrypt V2 Staging 2) Custom Enter...

Hi, These last two weeks I've been fiddling extensively with Proxmox installed on a pair of servers, a local and a public sandbox machine. So far things are running nicely. Currently I'm fine-tuning everything and sanding down the edges. One of the steps suggested in many online tutorials is...

I'll answer that myself, since I just found the solution here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Troubleshooting#Switch_novnc_KVM_console sendkey ctrl-alt-f3 did the trick !

Hi, I just installed Proxmox on a Scaleway root server. Runs nice so far. I can't seem to figure out how to switch between virtual consoles in a virtual machine. In classical KVM + Virtual Machine Manager, there's a dropdown menu where you can send Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc. until...

Hi, On a fresh installation of Proxmox VE on a Scaleway root server, I managed to configure a LetsEncrypt certificate using the GUI. Is there a way to perform this on the command line and non-interactively ? So eventually I could put this command in a shell script and provide the public...

OK. Thanks very much.

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with Proxmox and Ceph on a handful of local sandbox machines, and I'm slowly wrapping my head around it. Most of my current hostings (web servers, mail servers, various applications) are on bare metal servers, and I'm considering moving them to Proxmox. All of these...
