    Proper setup of a host for Discourse Docker container

    It turns out that I did hit a wall running Docker within an LXC container and this appears to be the solution to : https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/container-linux-in-a-kvm.43136/#post-207264

    Container Linux in a KVM

    Being able to use Dockerized apps within LXC containers is a pretty important function that we need. Just wanted to mention that we'd also like to see this brought into being a first class and supported citizen of the Proxmox environment.

    Proper setup of a host for Discourse Docker container

    So this got me to the next point of my question regarding Docker. It turns out that Discourse will not work with the `vfs` storage driver. Is there a way to use aufs or overlay2 instead with Proxmox?

    Ubuntu 18.04 hanging on halt...

    In the past `halt` has effectively shut down the Proxmox VM entirely such that I can restart it again. `Poweroff` is hanging the system. It appears as though it's not initiating the actual shutdown or not completing it entirely. Yes, there is something wrong here and this is the 3rd instance...

    Proper setup of a host for Discourse Docker container

    Oh, so you're saying click on "Templates" at this point, but on the other "Create: LXC Container" > "Template" THAT is where they don't show up, you have to add them first here at your screenshot point. Thanks.

    Ubuntu 18.04 hanging on halt...

    Unfortunately `Esc` is not working to show me what's going on. It literally hangs there with no other ability to get output (and ssh is dead at that point). I've used `halt` because poweroff/shutdown hasn't been working reliably. Reset seems to work more reliably, but will not even work once...

    Proper setup of a host for Discourse Docker container

    Hmm, I'm not seeing a download button anywhere oddly... Furthermore, can Docker containers run within an LXC container or would the VM path be better in this case?

    Proper setup of a host for Discourse Docker container

    The preferred method of setting up an instance of Discourse is to use Ubuntu 18.04 to install a Dockerized container for Discourse. Unfortunately Discourse developers are very particular about keeping with their configuration standards and so there's not a lot of wiggle room if you want any...

    Ubuntu 18.04 hanging on halt...

    Whenever I initiate `sudo halt` in Ubuntu 18.04 I usually am met with the never ending purple shutdown screen. Any idea as to what could be done to stop this and allow the system to shutdown properly?

    Apache Guacamole as alternative to NoVNC for VM console access?

    I also think having a consolidated option such as this available for the browser would be nice. I'm working on deploying an accounting system for some users that need access to a Windows 10 client via dedicated Epichrome Chrome instances on MacOS. The nice thing about this would be to allow them...

    [SOLVED] How to provision a new drive with LVM Thin?

    I found this post: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cannot-add-lvm-thin-storage-to-gui.50200/ Which basically says to back out of everything and do this via the Proxmox Web GUI. So I removed the /etc/pve/storage.cfg entry that I'd tried to make for the thin-lvm, I also issued the following...

    [SOLVED] How to provision a new drive with LVM Thin?

    So I'm still having some trouble here. I found some quite old instructions that were interesting: https://proxmoxve.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-to-add-extra-storage-in-proxmox-ve.html I deleted my LV "ssd_vg" so that I was back to just a VG of "ssd_vg", but when I went to Datacenter > Storage >...

    how to mount second partition or disk?

    I'm looking for a LVM Thin version of these instructions. My system won't start up after doing this so far. This forum's search and the "manual" (and wiki) on this and other topics are frequently abysmal. :(

    Please add kexec-reboot functionality

    I'm running Proxmox on a Dell PowerEdge server that takes several minutes to reboot. It's horrible, but I've found that using https://github.com/error10/kexec-reboot works AMAZINGLY well!!! I don't know the "proper" way to install it, but apt installed the kexec-tools and Ruby from Debian and...

    [SOLVED] How to provision a new drive with LVM Thin?

    Unfortunately I found that after reboot and having that line in /etc/fstab the system will not boot. I had to go into single user mode and comment out that line. I even tried to use the UUID insetad of the dev path. It seems that I can mount it fine manually, but automounting it doesn't work...

    [SOLVED] How to provision a new drive with LVM Thin?

    I guess the question is that after I create this, how do I get it to show up for storage? I can't seem to get this to show up anywhere to actually USE it now.

    [SOLVED] How to provision a new drive with LVM Thin?

    Please tell me if the following makes sense. I pulled this from a couple different tutorials, in this case I'm only using /dev/sdb at my 1TB SSD: fdisk -l # list disks fdisk -c -u /dev/sdb # create a partition with dos compat off and u gives sectors instead of cylinders, do the following...

    [SOLVED] How to provision a new drive with LVM Thin?

    I've installed a new 1 TB SSD into my Proxmox server and have become a bit confused after reviewing the instructions, wiki, etc. As far as this goes, I would like to have minimal virtual machine storage consumption (ie, I don't want to allocate an entire storage space of 200 GB for a VM...

    VMs not starting after system restart?

    I had a pretty serious issue where the Proxmox KVM machines didn't restart after the Proxmox server itself restarted a couple times. I do have the machines' options set to start at boot, however they still didn't start. I ended up having to execute `qm start <vmid>` to get things going again...
