I know this thread is a couple of years old, but I just came across it looking for something else. Maybe I misunderstand the question, but I backup vzdump (wma and tar) files directly from /var/lib/vz/dump, with borg, including compression and deduplication, at about 10GB/min, but of course...

For LXC containers it seems possible to bind mount a pool, (pct set CTID -mp0 /poolz/secdata,mp=/secdata) but for QEMU the only way to avoid having to duplicate filesystems would be to NFS share the pool. It doesn't seem very practical. How are peeps setting up VM/CT as NAS with a large part...

So, I create an encrypted+compressed pool, secdata. I used pvesm to add it as a zfspool, so now I see it with pvesm status: root@pve3:~# pvesm status Name Type Status Total Used Available % .. secdata zfspool active 14354464013...

I've been in the situation of moving a snapshot from one server to another, and got the error that the base iso was missing. I don't recall if it was VM or CT, hence the question.

Isn't this just the currenly mounted isos? What if they have been unmounted/ejected, would they still show? What about containers, they don't need the base iso to restore?

Is there a way to list which iso or template is used/required for vm/ct? I am carefully taking snapshots but just realize (sometime?) the iso/template used to create it is required in order to restore it. I realize I perhaps should have made a note of it during creation, but I didn't. I'm sure...

Sorry, no ideas. I use Storagebox with Borgbackup over ssh. It's amazing how fast and how well it deduplicates even snapshots. I also don't think it is a good idea to use unencrypted protocols like CIFS/SMB over public internet. I did try mounting a share for a test, and it worked fine right...

How did you add the storage? Did you try connecting manually through a terminal?

Ok I'll try that thanks.

Storage is local zpool. 350G with 200G used. I didn't time it, but I think it was under a minute, certainly not ten. Just tried again, this time it succeeded after 26 seconds. Seems it's a bit hit and miss.

Now I get this in 7.4-3 # qm guest exec 106 fstrim -- -a timeout reached, returning pid { "pid" : 30791 }

I believe vzdump outputs the exact same logging info on stdout and to the logfile with the same name as the dump? I run a script for daily snapshots + borgbackup/deduplication +prune, that output everything to a comprehensive logfile so have no need for the default named logfile. Is there a...

What output might that be? I just want a standard text console. This is the tty01, that you can login directly with root, that you can use without network and gui. It typically shows some log output too, whether anyone logged into it or not. Sorry if this comes across as a little grumpy, but...

What do you mean by "if I also want display output"? Like in xwindows? I'm a non-gui operation, everything happens on CLI, no windows. In any case, the objective is to avoid having to do anything in the guest OS. I used to get a 80x24 window, now it's more like a 160x60 or something window...

I've been trying to get that to work, but I think it means having to hack grub right? What I am trying to archive? I thought that was obvious. When I create a new VM under Proxmox in Hetzner, manual correction of the network configuration is required in order to get any network access, so I...

They are not on my network, they are remote servers and until network has been configured, which often has to be done manually, the only way is through console. The default fontsize is fine, the problem is the window has more lines than can fit on my laptop screen. If I use my desktop with a...

Sorry but I don't understand what you are saying here. The novnc window is a browser window, i don't understand how that links to an OS setting menu. Do you mean the target OS? It is headless, it is a console, no GUI. I use both Debian and Centos. Also, with local scaling set to off I see...

How can i set VM console sizes to match the available novmc window size? When I connect to a VM from my laptop thorugh novnc there are more lines than novnc can display without using scroll bars. I can change novnc settings in proxmox from local to scale, but then the font gets tiny and I...

Actually I don't need live migrations. Which security barrier do you mean are broken for Docker? I run it unprivileged. Nesting is enabled, but I think that just means it will allow running one type of virtualization inside another?

How come I get the feeling you don't really like LXC containers?
