Hi glockmane, Did you ever manage to resolve this issue? I'm stuck on the passthrough of a Thunderbolt5 egpu dock to and AMD based system too.

As I understand it the sensors data is already available via Proxmox api, Pulse Monitor manages to pull the info for the CPU and NVMe at least.

Why couldn't you achieve that from the GUI itself? Is it due to the SMB1/2 restrictions??

The question is what is it that you are trying to achieve there? As in which servers/applications do you have in mind to run on the system.? Also I assume that you do not have an unlimited budget, in which case I would forget about the enterprise SSD's and focus on the creation of a solid...

Why are you trying to do this.??? Why not just setup the disk as an SMB share and have Windows access that shared folder.? That share can than also be added to the Proxmox data storage and and anywhere else you need to access it from.

I have a HP G4 in operation as a node in my cluster, the mini or tiny PC's are great for someone just starting out and learning the ropes. They are available used for $100 or less, yet provide enough grunt for people to learn the system and what they really need specs wise, before going out and...

Proxmox is all about the stability of the system, above all else. Real corporations are depending on this system to run the IT of their business, so no, the dashboard shouldn't be editable. Pay for the subscription will get rid of the 'nag' and at the same time reward the developers for...

No, it's not possible and if you do find a way no-one else will be using such a system, so you won't get any support or online help. I think that the G6 boxes have a PCI slot for the wifi card, so you can switch the wifi for 2.5 or 5Gbe PCIe network adapters. At some stage you are going to need...

I understand that those are best practices, but those specs are difficult or too costly for most who are building a homelab, remember that for most it's just a hobby or a learning tool, so the costs matter.

Yeah, that will be fine for the boot drive. Not sure what system you'll be running the setup on, but for a homelab, you really want to be running the VM's / CT's guest on SSD or better NVMe drives, SATA drive are just too slow for anything apart from media data storage. How many drives can...

Are you able to set the Buffalo as a PVE storage device? If so you can select which types of storage that is advertised as within the PVE environment. i.e. backup / OSO store / templates etc. A PVE storage device can use any of the common shared storage protocols.

NAS system 'need' control of the complete disk. You therefore need to pass the drives (or better the controller) through to whatever NAS implementation you use, and then share the space to your servers/applications. That is the correct method, though I prefer TrueNAS running in a VM to running...

I suggest that option 2 is preferable, except it won't protect you in the case of fire or flood in the home, but I'm sure that you are aware of that.

I have QTY7 Proxmox nodes running on single SSD/NVMe drives in my Homelab, for approx. 4 years now. I do keep meticulous triple PBS backups of the guests, and figure that if the Proxmox host drive fails it's simple enough to rebuild, with the only issue being iGPU etc passthrough. I wouldn't...

Are you guys using the Realtek drivers for those USB NIC's? The Debian / Proxmox OS defaults to the cdc network drivers. It's been a while but I understand that the Realtek drivers can be in installed via DKMS package. I believe that the latest kernel 6.17 (can cause other issues) might even...

I suggest once again that people evaluate the Pulse monitoring app, which uses the Proxmox api to monitor not only the temps, but the CPU/RAM/Disk/Backups/hosts/docker apps etc. on a single pane of glass, right across your estate. They have made the app secure and really easy to install...

The helper scripts are great (I have approx. 20 running in my homlab), but they are susceptible to break on OS or the underlaying package updates. If you are going with OMV I would highly suggest running it in a VM with the drives passed through. It will be far more stable. To be frank, I went...

Just to add some input into the conversation, I use the 'Pulse' monitoring app to keep an eye on Proxmox, it plugs into the Proxmox api to provide all the info you need, works with clusters, docker, hosts, PBS, the works, complete with user defined notifications. The tool is very light on...

I use OMV (even though I have 2x TrueNAS installs) as it's light on resources and plays nicely with USB drives, they can be temperamental + I didn't want the overhead of the zfs file system. I would suggest that you ensure that you have a redundant file system AND Backups.!!! If the family...

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sure I read that as 3.1. If you can connect to the web interface OK, are you able to perform the system updates? If not that might indicate an incorrect DNS setting, or the Repositories set incorrectly. I had pfSense running for a while inside a VM, I had to provide a...
