    best monitoring solution for proxmox? Zabbix vs Nagios

    You can pry my Nagios from my cold, dead fingers. :D That being said, also look into Opsview if you want a nagios like solution that gives you pretty graphics and easier setup. Their core version isn't bad.

    Basic public IP config for guests?

    Setup 2 bridges, one as above for your external connection, and another one attached to no physical nic. Install a router distro, like PFSense or soemthing. Use the bridge with external as it's external connection, and use the no physical nic bridge as internal. Setup the IP's on your VM's...

    GUI Speed

    Varies by what location I'm in, but it goes from an old Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of ram, up to a modern I5. It also ran pretty well on my Dell Venue Pro which uses the Bay Trail atoms.

    GUI Speed

    Interface is very responsive for me. I routinely access the Proxmox gui through a VPN, and it works great. I don't do the mobile access though, it's always from a Linux or Windows machine running Chrome. .

    Docker containers, new interesting project

    As stated above, there's nothing stopping you from doing Docker in PVE. Just do it the correct way: 1. Create a new VM using an OS of your choice, from a simple Ubuntu server to a more specialzied CoreOS 2. Install Docker on this vm 3. Use docker on this vm. This has many benefits. The primary...

    Docker containers, new interesting project

    Went from ISO. Worked smoothly. Looked at the KVM/Qemu, but didn't really see a benefit when a simple ISO install + Proxmox template was all I needed.

    Docker containers, new interesting project

    This. So much this. Installing in a VM, with the emulated hardware, makes docker truly transportable. Plus, you get all the features of the Hypervisor (HA, Live Migration,etc) that at the moment Docker doesn't have. This is exactly what I do on 3.3 and a CoreOS KVM image, and it's working...

    Urgent question re vlan setup

    You're gateway itself will need to have a gateway to the internet, usually a firewall or modem like device. The gateway serves as a bridge between that device and your private network, allowing you to use NAT, etc. Example: >>>>>>Vlan1...

    1Gbit nic = 100 Mbit speed negotiated

    I'd double check that the internet device, modem I'd assume, has a gig nic. I've ran into a few areas where they buy 100+ speed, but have a 10/100 nic facing in..

    Offsite/Remote Backup Strategy

    Not to necro a thread, but can this be done in a cluster? Would each host need the SSHFS installed and mounted, or just do it on one and check "shared".

    running windows quests supported

    1. Windows guests are supported, yes. I've installed every Windows OS from 98 up to 2k12R2 successfully. The secret is to use the VirtIO drivers, available from Redhat, for best performance. 2. I can't answer on the Microsoft question, since honestly, I've never had to contact MS support. I'd...

    HA Proxmox without license

    1. Yes, you sure can. 2. The subscription allows you to access the enterprise repository, which is generally more stable and well supported than the others. However, even the non-enterprise repository is very stable, most days. The subscription, depending on your level, also gets you access to...

    Internal network like Oracle Virtualbox INTNET ?

    Fantastic. Just put these on my testing boxen, and it's working wonderfully. I really think something like this would be fantastic to move into the standard distro. It's not often you have to make network changes, but not having to reboot when you do is fantastic.

    Internal network like Oracle Virtualbox INTNET ?

    Ok, yeah, lets push that button upstream. I love this button. I want to have children with this button. Please tell me how to make this button.

    Distributed filesystem for HA cluster and SAS storage

    AKA, Oracle is being Oracle, and ruining everyone's happiness because they can.

    Where is the Proxmox storage config to backup files?

    Your storage destination needs to be tagged as a location for Backups. You can do this in the Datacenter option storage tab. Select the storage in question, edit, and add Backup in the content field. Note, it's horrible practice to store backups on the same physical discs as your production...

    US Based training / possible certification

    So, love the product, and have been using it to run our testing cluster for a while. We're currently in the horrid Vmware Upgrade hamster wheel, and I've made the recommendation to the CIO to allow us to roll out Proxmox as an alternative. He's all for it, however, he wants to see if there is...

    New mini-itx Proxmox Build

    Re: New Mini-itx Proxmox Build How are those new Atom boxes as virt hosts? I gave up on Atoms beyond simple work loads a while ago, but at the costs I'm seeing them at now, I'm tempted. Realistically, what kind of workloads are they capable of?

    New mini-itx Proxmox Build

    Re: New Mini-itx Proxmox Build That P4 will draw more power than it's worth, plus the added cooling, space, etc. With a vm router, you have eggs all in one basket (unless a proper HA setup), yes, but you also save the issues. Since this is a home box and Mini-ITX, I assume these things are...

    advice: tricky buttons (reset & restart)

    To also be blunt, you could also look at the button you're pressing before you press it. I understand your points, and agree the safety net might be nice to have. But I also believe that if you're using Proxmox in a professional setting, you should be a professional who checks these things...
