    [SOLVED] Choose Systemd-boot over Grub on installation

    How? I'd like to do this. I am sure I setup my proxmox install with a zfs mirror in legacy boot mode. I had some errors trying to install it with a UEFI boot. So is there a way to first, check what I have and maybe, change the boot type to uefi ?

    Changing Proxmox backup limit number.

    What should the correct configuration be? Not sure I setup pfsense as the default gateway for the pve host. As I said, the pve host has its own network port ( eno1), which is not on pfsense at all yes they are - well, all vms going through the eno7 nic ( which is not on pfsense are routed to...

    Changing Proxmox backup limit number.

    ok - I must be confused then on how to setup my proxmox host with pfsense then. How can I setup proxmox , with pfsense vm, where the setup does not depend on pfsense for network connectivity - I am new at this so please allow the occasional dumb question. If I setup pfsense, isn't everything...

    Changing Proxmox backup limit number.

    I tested it this weekend. The backup works ok for all vms and containers except the pfsense vm. As soon as the pfsense backup starts, all network connectivity is lost and the backup fails - as well as the internet. The whole system becomes unresponsive until I reboot the server. Any ideas why...

    Changing Proxmox backup limit number.

    Hello Thomas - I was going to post but you beat me to it. So I added the --remove 1 flag and was able to manually perform a back up . It completed successfully. But I woke up this morning and found that the scheduled overnight backup has failed again ! Now not sure it was a limit issue but...

    Changing Proxmox backup limit number.

    My scheduled backup from the datacenter are failing because of this - I thought automatic deletion of old backups is active on scheduled tasks.?

    Changing Proxmox backup limit number.

    @oguz @Drax - I am trying to do the same thing. But I see that the ' /etc/pve/vzdump.cron ' is automatically generated. There is a "do no edit message" there - perhaps any edits will be overwritten ? My backups are failing because I have hit the limit I set as well.

    Haproxy/acme on proxmox host or pfsense?

    I am looking to use acme certificates with haproxy on my pfsense vm to offload /manage certificates on local clients - like my synology box. On a physical pfsense box, this is usually involves installing the acme and haproxy packages on pfsense. Now, with my pfsense virtualized in proxmox, I...

    Proxmox can't see my cpu features

    got it. now, I need to solve the issue of proxmox showing high memory usage for pfsense when pfsense itself shows very little. I looked around here and found one post where the user had cpu hotplug enabled - I dont. My memory usage is at 90% with 4gb memory allocated.

    Proxmox can't see my cpu features

    My proxmox install doesn't seem to see my cpu features. I have the X11SDV-8C-TP8F Supermicro board and Xenon 2146 cpu. My cpu supports aes-ni and its enabled in the bios. However, when I check for it on proxmox, its not there: I also installed a pf sense vm and nothing is picked up - even...

    installing pfsense vm in proxmox

    Can you elaborate a bit more on this? I am attempting to do this with VFs. I understand the part about giving one physical port to the WAN on pfsense. What happens on the LAN side in sr-iov setups? Can I also setup one physical passthrough sr-iov port for the LAN and connect all vms to this...

    Help to understand mount points
