    How to protect ProxMox with a virtual virewall?

    @Denny that was exactly what I was asking for, I'm still busy reading through that post but would you mind explaining these two sentences from your linked post? and #2 Doesn't this next quote state the exact opposite - unless I'm missing a point somewhere here?

    How to protect ProxMox with a virtual virewall?

    thanks for pitching in and for the pointers. this sounds complicated. I had assumed I wouldn't need direct access to the nic but could do this with some clever bridging. I'll rethink this unless I get some other feedback.

    How to protect ProxMox with a virtual virewall?

    I'm looking to run a virtual FW appliance on ProxMox and would like it to protect all incoming traffic - for the hypervisor and all guests but am not sure how the networking part has to look like. I have attached a drawing of the current situation. Any hints on how to achieve this are very...

    [SOLVED] Internal Virtual Network. How to?

    hm, so if I have read all the posts correctly, you basically abandoned the idea of having a firewall/router installed inside a VM and instead went and only used what is built into proxmox right? I'm trying to setup a firewall distro inside a VM to protect my ProxMox and all other VMs but am...

    Weird new structure in my cgroups

    I recently noticed these "ns" folders, any idea what that is about? /sys/fs/cgroup/memory /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/lxc /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/lxc/100 /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/lxc/100/ns /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/lxc/102 /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/lxc/102/ns /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/lxc/104...

    [SOLVED] LXC IPv6 Problem

    Just to add some more info: after following all this advice, things are still not working. What made it work was one comment found here: I'm wondering why this is necessary, shouldn't this be handled by the Proxmox GUI or am I missing something else here? This worked for my LXC not sure about...

    Let’s Encrypt with Proxmox VE

    @fabian : sorry, the mistake was sitting in front of the PC this time :-( I assumed the outer "" were part of the quote so I tried: /root/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --cron --home "/root/.acme.sh I just realized it actually works exactly as suggested in the wiki. Sorry for the fuss, just wanted to make...

    Let’s Encrypt with Proxmox VE

    thanks @fabian, the point is that beneath that, it said to test and that didn't work so I changed my cronjob. Does this work for you? It's a good idea to test the cron entry by running it manually from the command line to check that it's working OK: "/root/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --cron --home...

    Let’s Encrypt with Proxmox VE

    I've successfully followed the instructions and am happily using my letsencrypt certificate but I have a few questions left: - how come authentication via port 80 worked? I am not blocking it but neither was I aware there was anything running as proxmox is running on port 8006 so how does this...

    Proxmox 4.2 status of the disks empty

    same issue here but I wanted to add that I use drivers and tools from here: hwraid.le-vert.net and my manually setup smartmontools do send me emails with reports. Inside /etc/smartd.conf ai have defined my raid like this: # LSI MegaRAID /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,17 -a -I 194 -s L/../../3/02 -W...

    noob, multiple doubts

    Udo, I followed your advice and tried installing acpid in a Debian8 LXC with the following result: apt-get install acpid -u . . . Setting up acpid (1:2.0.23-2) ... insserv: warning: script 'K01nixstats' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: warning: script 'nixstats' missing LSB tags and...

    LVM, LVM Thin vs qcow2

    Not sure we're on the same page but https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore#Backup => There are 3 backup modes available: I'm interested in the called "snapshot"

    Tweaking the OVH default Proxmox configuration

    After long tinkering it turns out my ISP provides servers with ECC RAM but only in Canada and I cannot move my IPs (from RIPE to ARIN) so I need to stay with the current server for now. Would you mind sending me a few more pointers/links/keywords for enabling me to use snapshots and snapshot...

    Looks like Proxmox simply rebooted last night!?

    I'll google that, thanks. as for crashing, I don't know. I had not rebooted, there was no reboot scheduled so I assume it crashed :-/

    Looks like Proxmox simply rebooted last night!?

    Its been the second time this week that I notice that my proxmox server simply rebooted. it seems to have happened at midnight but filtering across all logs +/- 10 minutes hasn't revealed anything. Any pointers what and where to specifically look for?

    Thoughts on replacing a low-budget HW Raid with ZFS?

    nope, by buffer I meant: it is there if I need it, i.e. for another LXC or whatever else might need some more RAM :-)
