From what I've read; the fingerprint is included in the proxy.pem and proxy.key. Once I've copied these two, I presume I can create a new PBS instance and restore from the backups? If I'm not mistaken, you add the storage in PVE and then mount it to the VM with the PBS?

So I looked briefly at PBS. I don't want to create a ceph cluster or add more metal as I have storage already facilitated in a nice NAS with redundancy disks. Would it be suitable to install PBS as a VM and then use the NAS as backup location for incremental backups? I'm thinking if the PVE...

I'll look into it. As long as it can support incremental backups, so I don't get independent snapshots. :)

If the data set would be smaller, it would have been a no-brainer. I'm thinking of doing it the other way round. Let the backup run from the outside. But would be very interesting to see if someone had a nifty solution to this

Hi, Is there a good practice where to put the data, so you don't get very large backups of the virtual machine? I'm thinking I should put the data outside the VM and then mount it into the VM. But I could be wrong here? Create a volume for data Create a VM/LXC for running the fileserver (in...

That's a good point. I tried to research a bit what the overhead difference would be between Alpine and Debian Standard. After lots of googling about it, it seems the difference isn't that significant. Mostly docker comparisons comes up and some claims about Debian being quicker, bust slightly...

I'm not the Wiki-admin, but a comparison table would be interesting. As once you scale down the distros, there are less and less differences. Would be interesting to hear why people chose Ubuntu over Debian for example, as they are both scaled down.

Here's my own non-professional take: I run basically one LXC = one major service/host I use Debian Standard as template I used to run Alpine. Eventually as the LXC farm grew, I also ran into problems since Alpine uses muslc as a C Library. This limited the amount of supported applications. Then...

Proxmox have supplied several different container templates/images https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Linux_Container Looking into what differentiates them in "LXC-format" could be a bit complicated as some of them are slimmed down versions of normal distros. The nearest comparison I've found is...

Would be interesting to see how it compares to Ubuntu Standard

OK, that's about as slim as it gets then :)

Hi, I'm looking at the Debian standard LXC, but I'm having a hard time to figure out what it includes. There is a Debian live standard distro https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/ . Can someone confirm if this is the basis for the LXC or is it based on something else?

Thank you fabian, sorry for the terminology mix. The GUI tools should be sufficient, even though the CLI is probably more powerful. I think a lot of admins are moving more and more towards GUI-tools as there is no way to intuitively remember all command line tools.

Hi, I've got a really simple LXC container (VM-101-disk-0) that runs in my local-lvm storage. Mounted (mp0) is a second container (VM-101-disk-1) that runs on my local-extra storage. When destroying the LXC container, both are deleted. Then when recreating VM-101-disk-0 it also recreates...
