Hi, this thread has helped me solve my problem. Here is my summary post on the settings that seemed to have delivered the breakthrough. pfSense uptime is now 71 Days 16 Hours 12 Minutes 51 Seconds

My plan is to run on on the pfSense box and one on my homelab server as a failover

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am running pfSense as a VM on proxmox on an AliExpress box and after a lot of stability issues, it seems like I have gotten this thing stabilized - 12 days and counting (knockonwood). Now I would like to add Pihole to the mix again. I had it set up as a container before I turned...

How do you set this powersave mode?

This thread in another forum has some tipps and tricks. It is very focused on pfSense boxes from AliExpress, so not sure whether it is applicable to you, but it might: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/topton-jasper-lake-quad-i225v-mini-pc-report.36699/post-344356

Good idea, just did that - thanks! "Good" to know that I am not the only one with issues ...

Not that I am aware off. Most of the time it seems to crash when I am doing something, like configurations (nothing out of the ordinary which should cause a crash or reboot that has not been done 1000 times before).

Unfortunately an update on this one: - proxmox runs rock solid since 10 days - the pfSense VM froze once after 5 days and rebooted itself after 4 days. I also put a fan in front of the server and temperatures are all below 50 celcius. Not sure what else to try - maybe someone has some ideas

Hi everyone, a little update: - the proxmox server runs rock-solid for 10 days now. - the pfSense VM has frozen once after about 4 days and rebooted itself after another 4 days. I am not sure what else to try. I put a fan on top of the box, so that should not be the problem. It is also weird...

My impression is that at least my N5105 is sensitive to higher temperatures. I runs fine since I put a fan directly onto the box.

I only run pfSense for now. I had one additional reboot (not freeze), but I have the feeling it has to do with the temperatures. I have now a fan blowing onto the pfSense box. No more freezes or reboots since then, but it has only been a day. I try to keep the temps below 50 (celsius). I read...

Yes, I meant over all VMs - thanks!

2 Days 01 Hour 39 Minutes 14 Seconds and no more freezes or reboots. Sounds like 2. and 3. helped - thanks everyone *knockonwood*! One more question. If I use host, do I have to use that setting for all VMs and can I still overprovision CPU cores?

Completed 2. and 3. Regarding BIOS I ordered the box from AliExpress. Will need to check how to update the BIOS. New pveversion -v proxmox-ve: 7.2-1 (running kernel: 5.15.39-1-pve) pve-manager: 7.2-7 (running version: 7.2-7/d0dd0e85) pve-kernel-5.15: 7.2-6 pve-kernel-helper: 7.2-6...

Do i need to reinstall the whole thing or can I change that "on the fly"?

Hi everyone, I have installed proxmox on a box with Intel N5105 4-core 4*2.5GB I225 B3 8GB RAM 500GB NVMe pfSense is the only VM running. I installed it based on instructions on the netgate website. WHEN it runs, it is fine, but once a day or so, it crashes or freezes. Most of the time it just...

Hi everyone, I have built the following setup: Mini-PC from AliExpress with 8GB RAM, Intel N5105, 250 GB NVMe, 4 Intel 225 B3 connections I run Proxmox on it (VLAN 10) and pfSense as my router on top of Proxmox. pfSense runs very well. Now my intention is to run a docker-server as a VM (VLAN...
