    OpnSense on Proxmox with Virtio Drivers - A Success story

    Both OPNSense and pfSense support High Availability cluster, like VyOS. But I do believe, pfSense HA cluster is significantly simpler to configure and stable. For a virtual firewall setup, a cluster of 2 or 3 VM firewall should be the way to go. This eliminates the need to migrate anything...

    OpnSense on Proxmox with Virtio Drivers - A Success story

    You are correct. Both e1000 and e1000e are limited to gigabit. So if the WAN bandwidth is over 1gbps, virtio certainly is the way to go. My comment was more toward the use of Openvswitch bridge for a perimeter or edge virtual firewall, where the loss of connection can mean total outage even for...

    OpnSense on Proxmox with Virtio Drivers - A Success story

    Have you tried e1000 virtual network interface instead of virtio? I have few virtualized firewalls deployment based on pfSense. Since OPNsense is a fork of pfSense, they should behave similarly. I avoid using openvswitch bridge for perimeter or edge virtual firewall. The reason simply...

    [SOLVED] Cannot restore CT No space left on device

    No space left does not always mean literal no space left. You will see the message when restore process is unable to write to the disk. This can happen if Container option has not been selected for the storage. Verify that both Disk Image and Container options are selected for the storage from...

    Proxmox 8.3 Installation freeze at "loading drivers"

    I agree with @gfngfn256 , you can try nomodeset. In addition to that you can also add noapic nolapic flags. Simply press E to edit boot parameters at the installer boot menu. Then add the option flags at the of the line starting with 'linux'.

    Question about file system

    As it has been mentioned in previous replies by others, you lose some functionality by going from ZFS to ext4. Other than that, ZFS is not going to cause any more wear and tear than ext4. The faster wear of consumer grade SSDs is certainly a valid concern. But that can be easily mitigated. 1...

    webhook notification to non-public target (self-signed root CA)

    If I am understanding correctly what you are trying to achieve, you can configure Proxmox webhook notifications to post to a non-public target with a self-signed certificate by ensuring that PVE recognizes your self-signed certificate as trusted. 1. Add the self-signed cert to PVE trusted store...

    Install Win 11 Pro and Home Assistant

    You could also use CloneZilla to clone your physical Win 11 Pro and restoring it on Proxmox. using VMware Workstation Converter is another option to convert a physical machine to a VM. The slightly older version of the converter probably still kicking around on the net and works in most scenarios.

    Ceph Reef: pgs not deep-scrubbed in time and pgs not scrubbed in time

    It may not necessarily be due to bug. Ceph scrub requires active participation from all OSDs that host replica of the PG. If one or more OSDs are unresponsive due to high I/O, CPU Load, memory pressure or any number of reason, scrubbing can stall. Scrub and deep-scrub operations are queued...

    [SOLVED] After removing 1 cpu from dual sockets, Promox unable to boot up

    In a multi socket motherboards, the sockets are usually in sequence such as socket 0, socket 1 etc. If you removed the CPU from socket 0 instead 1, that may cause the issue. Also you may have to rebuild the initramsfs after CPU removal: 1. chroot into your server: mount...

    Question about pve storage

    The LV % is not only showing the amount of the drive is being used by LV and not the actual data usage. You are using 76% of the available storage. So there should be room for the VM to operate. That partition is also being used by Proxmox, so just ensure the local storage is not full.

    cluster performance degradation

    The network is not your problem. I doubt you are saturating your 10g network with the current setup. Few things can be contributing to the issue and need answers, - How many PGs? - How many Pools? - How many replica? - Customized CrushMAP? - How is the current health of ceph? (ceph -s) -...

    [SOLVED] dhcp issue with KVM, LXC does not have the issue

    That's what @spirit meant. But you do not need to mention the gateway IP. Just the address is fine. If you have separate pool in your DHCP server for each vlan, a request goes to the server with the address of the vlan. That way the DHCP server knows which pool to assign the IP from. If you...

    [SOLVED] dhcp issue with KVM, LXC does not have the issue

    As far as I know the configuration requires an interface of some sort to work. So in your case, you can try to use vmbr3 as the interface. If it works, the relay will get applied to all the vlans that you have configured. Currently I am assuming you tag your VMs with proper vlan ID. If all your...

    [SOLVED] dhcp issue with KVM, LXC does not have the issue

    Yes, it is possible to setup dhcp-relay for vlans and offload it from the switch. The configuration is done at the Proxmox node itself. It does work, but I was never able to make it work without some glitches. The root cause was unknown. It was a specific environment with specific requirement...

    qcow2 missing power loss help needed

    Have you checked if the physical disk is really being mounted after the reboot? If the disk is not mounted, the mountpoint will obviously be empty with nothing on it. That could be plausible reason why you are not seeing disk images. What do you see if you run: df -H

    Shutdown when not needed?

    The issue with turning PBS most of the time is your Prune/Garbage Collection/Verification tasks will pile up over time. The GC process is very resource intensive. So most likely it will try to do this when backup is taking place. Then get shutdown again before important tasks are finished. If...

    How to whitelist an incoming (receiving) address

    Ah I see. Adding Receivers address to whitelist is counter productive. Because if you have domains added to Relay Domains and Transports, PMG will try to pass the emails destined to all inbox of those domains. However, you want to only accept emails for real inboxes that actually exist in your...

    Consumer grade NVMe mirrored or definitely not?

    ZFS RAID1 Mirror is a very common for Proxmox OS drives. For actual wear of SSD/NVMe, kind of RAID does not really causes any more wear than non-RAID. If anything else, wear might be lower on a full RAID such as RAIDZ2/RAIDZ3 etc because bits of data are scattered across multiple drives instead...
