I am running PVE on one of the little Chinese quad 2.5 NIC N5105 boxes featured by Serve the Home. I had successfully migrated my APU24 pfSense to this box as a vm. Install ISO was from 2 days ago. I then checked for updates. The GUI method failed to install 44 of the packages available. I...

I am trying to create a vm. where do I upload the iso to please? the option is local in the create vm dialog, but I don't know where that is? I assume I first need to download the iso to my local machine (mac) then scp it to the pve host somewhere? I'm trying Ubuntu 16.04 as a first attempt. Thanks

Thanks Alvin. Some context: I support ~250 Mac and Win users across several companies, as well as running all their infrastructures (servers, networking, the lot). I have budget authority for new systems at 4 of them. I work 12 hours a day, 5-6 days a week keeping on top of this workload. Can...

I fail to understand why you cannot at least publish a getting started video aimed at new users that explains the concept in simple terms - with audio. The ones you have posted teach nothing. They are silent and nothing is explained.

I hope you will accept that your so-called documentation is written for linux experts. I can't even work out where to look, as I understand very little of it. Please tell me where to start so that I can simply set up 3 x 1Tb datastores from the spare disks on the host and store vm's to them.

My needs are individual datastores, not raid-ed, on which to store vm's. So what next please?

So, I have a Xeon Lenovo server with 1x256 SSD, 3x1Tb HDD and currently 12Gb RAM. I am using a vsphere analogy: I want to install proxmox and have all the drives available for datastores within it. What choices should I make? I have no knowledge of the various formats, so need some help please...

Seriously Tom? I have to buy books to have an idea as to how to choose a datastore format and how to set it up? I know I am labouring this point, but compare this situation to ANY other hypervisor and it seems nuts. You assume a huge level of existing knowledge just to be able to add a store. I...

I worked out (I think) how to create a zfs disk, but upload is greyed out, so it is effectively useless, with no clue as to how to fix it.

It is a bit of a mystery why this is so undocumented. Surely the easier it is made, the more support subs they will get and everyone wins. I appreciate your advice above, but there is no clue even where to start. What is the point in having a gui that is 99% opaque? Step one should be what...

I seem to be stuck at square 1. I have PM installed, but I cannot get beyond accessing the Webui. Is there a getting started guide written for non-linux geeks anywhere? (the Xeon box I've installed it on has 1 x 250gb SSD and 3x1Tb HDD. All I am offered is a small part of the SSD as a store and...
