    HowTo: Proxmox VE 7 With Software RAID-1

    I'm keenly interested in this subject. Built up a server for a homelab setup using some items I had lying around and threw it all into a NAS style case. 8th Gen i5 with 32GB RAM. Boot/System drives will be SATA SSD (qty: 2 x 1TB) and planning a 12tb ZFS raidz1 pool (4 x 4TB) of spinning rust...

    How to figure out the physical disk passed through to a VM

    Ok, I've been able to answer my own question. Didn't do my homework. But hopefully this helps someone in the future. I found that when I issued the "blkid" command on the Proxmox CLI that the "UUID_SUB" details line up with what is shown in TrueNAS under disk details for the "GUID". So there is...

    How to figure out the physical disk passed through to a VM

    I'm not sure if I should post this here or over on the TrueNAS community. I'm running TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) as a VM on my Proxmox host. I know, this isn't a best practice (I need a completely self contained environment for a testing/development environment on one server). Using this guide...

    Install to SSD System Drive with RAID1 spinning rust for VM's and Containers

    Thanks for the reply. This is mostly for a basic home lab for educational purposes. I realize spinning rust isn't ideal for VM's. That brings up another question, and perhaps I should pose this elsewhere. But does Proxmox support the concept of SSD caching in any of the storage mechanisms? Just...

    Route to multiple VMs from web using one public IP

    Check out "NGINX Proxy Manager" (NPM). It's a GUI to Manage your NGINX Reverse Proxy. Runs as a Docker Container (so you'll need to spin-up a VM or Container to run Docker). Really a great web front end to manage reverse proxies and includes SSL Cert Management via Letsencrypt.

    Install to SSD System Drive with RAID1 spinning rust for VM's and Containers

    I have a i7 based machine with 32GB of RAM, a 250GB SSD, and two 4tb spinning rust drives. Planning to turn this into a Proxmox host and want to understand where in the install process could I create a ZFS RAID1 pool using the two spinning rust drives for the purposes of hosting the VM and...

    Reducing memory overhead - Proxmox on Debian Stretch

    I was able to disable pve-ha-lrm and pve-ha-crm with no noticeable detriments and ~ 200MB of RAM recovered. Probably will live with this and not attempt to disable anything else. Appreciate everyone's comments. Anyone know if there will be any forthcoming Kernel updates? There are some fixes in...

    Reducing memory overhead - Proxmox on Debian Stretch

    Good point. Didn't consider the additional services. And it is nice to have the ability to run containers as well. I have no need for the cluster services. What services can be disabled to reduce the memory footprint while still retaining the ability to use the web UI? Thanks so much...

    Reducing memory overhead - Proxmox on Debian Stretch

    Thanks for the feedback. Disabling the GUI isn't likely something I want to do. If I was going that route, I'd just go a bare bones route with Ubuntu Server or maybe Arch and use KVM with Virt Manager. That would probably reduce the overhead. This is a low end system and certainly I will be...

    Reducing memory overhead - Proxmox on Debian Stretch

    Utilization for the host in the GUI, as well as top and free output (see attached\below). ). I suspect that the fact I installed it on top of linux adds some additional overhead. Any advice appreciated. I'm considering switching to a pure KVM solution, perhaps based on something lite like...

    Reducing memory overhead - Proxmox on Debian Stretch

    I realize this isn't the typical use case. Have Proxmox up and running atop a Debian Stretch install on a very low power\low ram host (Intel Cherry Trail Z8350 processor with 4G RAM). This isn't for production, but mostly a learning environment. Had to do the Proxmox install atop Debian as I had...

    VM Backups on NFS Storage

    I have a ProxMox VE environment in which my primary storage is an NFS NAS. From this NAS, I backup the images folder containing my ProxMox KVM VM's. I'm not using the inbuilt Proxmox Backup feature. I'm curious what the scenario looks like should I ever need to do a one-off restore of a VM...
