    PBS Notification change sender (From) address

    Sending notifications to an SMTP server with no authentication

    PBS 3.2-2 I am trying to setup PBS to send notification emails to an SMTP server that does not need authentication to local email addresses. Here is what I set up: First thing I noticed is that even though I made a change, the OK button is greyed out. If I add a comment, the OK button is...

    Default Host Type

    As we discovered with the Storage Review of Hypervisors, the default host type incurs a performance penalty. I would like to suggest a better "default" setting. With a single node, any setting other than "host" is pointless. In a cluster of multiple nodes all with the same CPU type, any...

    Hypervisor Showdown: Performance of Leading Virtualization Solutions

    So they compared the "default" settings which are generally geared towards max compatibility not towards what a sane SysAdmin would use. Unfortunate.

    Removing Backups of non-existent VMs

    Yes, you are correct. The path should have been "/mnt/datastore/datastore_name/vm" Since the content of these folders are quite small and the data is dedupped, what process cleans up blocks no longer used?

    Removing Backups of non-existent VMs

    I have old backups for VMs that I have since deleted. Can I just safely delete the folders under /mnt/datastore_name/VMID ? A lot of backups so command line is what I am trying to do.

    Collecting MAC and IP addresses from VMs

    Yes, the element I am trying to look at is called "hardware-address". I have so much to learn about JSON and addressing. Please tolerate on more question... So given this: # qm guest cmd 1017 network-get-interfaces | jq '.[1] | ."ip-addresses"' [ { "ip-address": "10.1.0.76"...

    I'm trying to create a script that will output the MAC and IP addresses from the VMs on this host. "qm guest cmd 1017 network-get-interfaces | jq ." will generate a valid JSON file. But when I try to address the element "hardware-address" all I get is errors like this: # qm guest cmd 1017...

    So I have backup jobs set up on the Proxmox GUI, under Datacenter and backups. Each of these jobs has retention settings defined. So is setting up a scheduled Prune job in PBS really needed?

    I created a Linux user called "admin" and put it into the "root" group". I created a user in the Proxmox UI called admin and put it into the "admins" group. I log with the admin account and the "Upgrade" button is grayed out. If I login as "root", the "Upgrade" button is not grayed out. I even...
