    Export NFS to VMs: what is the recommended practice?

    Hi, I would like to export a ZFS dataset on a node to VMs via NFS. What is the recommended way to do it? I can think of the following options: (1) from node, via ZFS built-in NFS capability (2) from node, via linux nfs-kernel-server (3) from a LXC, bind mount the dataset and export it from...

    install PBS in a VM or along a PVE installation?

    thanks for the reply. I just leave things as they are for now, the container seems to work as expected. I did however some inspection: list all services and group them to some categories. This info may come useful if later we want to disable some services in a pbs container. Note: I installed...

    install PBS in a VM or along a PVE installation?

    Hi, I'd like to install PBS inside a container as well. I did apt-get install proxmox-backup-server and it seems that it installed many packages that are irrelevant for an installation inside container, like: zfs, lvm, smartmontools. They are dependencies of pbs so I guess they cannot be...

    Best practice to keep PVE host up-to-date without rebooting?

    Hi, what is the recommended way to keep PVE nodes up-to-dated? For now I do manually apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade which I don't mind too much, except that sometime the kernel is updated and hence I do a reboot, just to be on the safe side. But I'd prefer to avoid rebooting the nodes...

    Share my network configuration on servers hosted by Hetzner

    yes I used to experience the problem with vSwitch that guests cannot talk to the Internet. Things that I tried: - ask for Hetzner support - disconnect the server from vSwitch and reconnect (advised by Hetzner support) - keep pinging the gateway - check the MTU 1400 everywhere relevant

    [wrong] Network configuration for two Proxmox in Hetzner with vSwitch (VM host bridged)

    Hi, I also use Proxmox with Hetzner vSwitch, following the tutorial by @Razva in this forum and the script Script to install Proxmox 5.x and 6.x on a Dedicated Hetzner Server – schaal @it UG (schaal-it.com). It works, but not really stable, sometime the VMs on different nodes cannot talk to...

    How to customize network config for LXC? (except using the PVE GUI)

    thank you for your reply. Indeed I missed the section about container settings in the article and solved it by editing /etc/network/interfaces inside the container. Which seems to work, albeit not the best way to do that.

    How to customize network config for LXC? (except using the PVE GUI)

    Hi, I am trying to setup a LXC with a public IP on a node hosted at Hetzner. The network config is somewhat different from the standard way. My setup is done following this link: Proxmox on Debian at Hetzner with multiple IP addresses – blog.no-panic.at (no-panic.at) It works fine for a KVM...

    Asking for suggestion: How to access ZFS dataset from VM

    Hi, I am looking for a way to share my ZFS dataset (= DS) with a VM. Options that I am considering: (1) export DS to VM via NFS: great for private network, not so great if the VM is a public host (2) create a disk on ZVOL and attach it to the VM: easiest option, but I must allocate the...

    some party overrides my /etc/network/interfaces, is it to be expected?

    yes you are right, the new content has only cosmetic changes compared to the orig. It works as expected; I am somewhat surprised by the auto-generating behavior.

    some party overrides my /etc/network/interfaces, is it to be expected?

    (1) /etc/network/interfaces that I created manually: ### derived from a config generated using Proxmox-Setup Tool 1.2.1 from schaal @it UG ### https://schaal-it.com/script-to-install-proxmox-5-x-and-6-x-on-a-dedicated-hetzner-server/ # loopback device auto lo iface lo inet loopback #...

    some party overrides my /etc/network/interfaces, is it to be expected?

    I repeated the steps I did, and it seems the reason is this: - when ifupdown2 is installed, it generates /etc/network/interfaces.new Setting up ifupdown2 (3.0.0-1+pve3) ... Installing new version of config file /etc/default/networking ... network config changes have been detected for...

    some party overrides my /etc/network/interfaces, is it to be expected?

    https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Configuration I know what I want to do with my /etc/network/interfaces. I didn't make any change to network config via GUI, so I am surprised that it overrode my /etc/network/interfaces

    some party overrides my /etc/network/interfaces, is it to be expected?

    Hi, I installed ifupdown2 on a pve node and after ifreload -a and reboot, it seems /etc/network/interfaces is re-generated, not sure by which party. Is it to be expected? The comments seem to come from PVE, however the wiki says Proxmox doesn't change /etc/network/interfaces. Any hint please?

    Share my network configuration on servers hosted by Hetzner

    you can look at my config, bridge vmbr0 and the corresponding. It's a working config with IPs changed. Some points: - ensure you have ip forwarding enabled - the address of vmbr0 is the same as on main NIC - for more info read this...

    Do you disable IPv6?

    can you please briefly highlight the benefits of using IPv6 for you? I'd really like to learn what I am missing by disabling IPv6.

    Going to add a NIC dedicated for pve inter-node traffic, asking for recommendation.

    I plan to do the switching one by one, starting with less important nodes first and see how it goes. thank you @aaron again for your help, much appreciated!
