    OpenWRT on LXC in Proxmox: how to correctly pass a USB modem?

    Looking at my notes from one of my "one off" proxmox setups, the only items in my conf file for my lxcs and a usb device is the /dev/devicename, /dev/bus/usb and the lxc cgroup device allow lines. I am using udev rules to set the perms and make the device name static but that was after getting...

    New Proxmox server rack

    Does it have to be a rack mounted server? My Dell T7910 blows my Dell R420 out of the water especially when it came time to install gpus for vgpu.

    OpenWRT on LXC in Proxmox: how to correctly pass a USB modem?

    I wish I had time soon to test this myself (for personal curiosity) since I still have a couple of lte usb modems. But I would think using a usb nic passed-through would at least emulate a similar scenario to see if usb as a wan interface in an openwrt vm would suffer the same speed loss

    OpenWRT on LXC in Proxmox: how to correctly pass a USB modem?

    I personally would not use a usb modem unless it's for a mobile solution but everyone is different. The last time I played with my tmobile sim card for a data connection was with an rpi4 connected to an lte usb modem. I had to initialize it in a very specific way/order. Have you tried...

    OpenWRT on LXC in Proxmox: how to correctly pass a USB modem?

    I have tried openwrt in lxc before moving to a vm. The lxc had too many usability problems. As for the vm, I would guess your vm isn't setup optimally. I have 1Gb Fiber and my openwrt vm on a zimaboard 832 with 2 cpus/1GB ram for the vm has no trouble maintaining 800Mb+ (some speed loss due...

    resolv.conf overwritten at every debian container restart

    The other option (which is what I use in my pihole containers using debian 12) is to create a hook file. I use dhcp as well with static leasing. My pihole containers are using dhcp with static leases. This is what I use. Create the file: /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/nodnsupdate Inside...

    [TUTORIAL] virtiofsd in PVE 8.0.x

    I got it figured out. I didn't use perl scripts from other places because I intended to track down what my specific issue was. I essentially bashed a debug process on my system and found that the args line needs to be the first line in the conf file. My system uses numa so using the file...

    [TUTORIAL] virtiofsd in PVE 8.0.x

    I have been struggling with this for a month. I have followed the instructions here but cannot get a zfs directory on the host to mount inside the vm. Proxmox 8 - 6.5.11-8-pve args that allow the vm to start args: -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/run/vfs600.sock -device...

    How to add new mirrored disks to an existing zpool?

    I know this is an old thread but it's close to what I am trying to accomplish. I am working with: 4 2TB ssds 2 8TB hdds I wanted to combine the 4 2TB ssds to make an 8TB zpool. And then I wanted to use the 2 8TB hdds as a redundant backup to the ssds. Besides doing it the traditional old way...

    Proxmox 8 Installer screen

    I tried using the tui installer option but it kept losing its mind whenever I attempted to select my ssd to install to. It kept wanting to latch on to the emmc (mmcblk) even though I was selecting the ssd. On top of that, the ssd I am using is a 250gb size and while I have tested it in other...

    Proxmox 8 Installer screen

    I have been searching for a solution for a few weeks on and off now. I have tried some instances of manually setting nomodeset, vga, etc. options in the kernel boot parameters. I have even tried using the tui nomodeset advanced option. The tui nomodeset advanced option kept losing its mind on...

    Proxmox box does not get an IP lease on my router

    Adding the vmbr0 mac to your router for a reserved lease ip is a good practice as you said, so that no other clients on the network will be assigned that address via dhcp. Proxmox's vmbr0 ip address does not show up in my routers ip lease table either (openwrt in a proxmox vm) but it also never...

    lxc-device add seems broken

    I managed to get the usb device passthrough working with symlinks in the config files. The symlinks get generated "dynamically" using udev rules. I haven't messed with this project in a while due to life, but my most outstanding issue was still the usb hotplug scenario for a running container...

    [SOLVED] Openwrt in proxmox

    In this thread https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/openwrt-lxc-installation-error.106991/ I talked about what I found when running openwrt in lxc. If none of the issues I found (at that time) concern you then it comes down to personal preference if you want to use lxc or vm. I have 10 ports on...

    [SOLVED] Openwrt in proxmox

    @alcw Based on your description your network configuration would have to be decided by you. The reason most guides/videos/tutorials only show how to install openwrt in a vm/lxc and not the network configuration side is because that's too many variables to account for between different...

    Network setup for OpenWRT router VM

    @Dunuin is mostly correct. Assuming you know about trunk ports, what I have seen in proxmox (behavior wise) is that if the trunk port has a native vlan specified then the nics of whatever is connected to that trunk port (via its bridge) inherits that native vlan when no vlan is set. For...

    Disable IPv6 within LCX container

    Interesting. I have multiple lxc with that config and when doing ip a there are no inet6 results showing. I have also disabled ipv6 on the proxmox host as well with the same config and I have no inet6 results there. Seems you may have other issues that are forcing ipv6. I also remove any...

    Disable IPv6 within LCX container

    Add these 3 lines to the end of /etc/sysctl.conf in your container and reboot. net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1

    Iptables inside LXC container not blocking anything

    Since it sounds like you want to keep using custom chains this is a resource I refer to every now and then when I need to remember some things. It acts as a reminder for me. Maybe it can get you going. https://sleeplessbeastie.eu/2018/06/21/how-to-create-iptables-firewall-using-custom-chains/
