I can't for the life of me figure out how to do a restore. I installed Proxmox Backup Server, set it up on my cluster, ran a job, it did all the backups, and I see them in the backup server, but I don't see anywhere on either the Proxmox cluster or backup server on how to actually restore...

I am trying to add a local datastore, pointing to a folder that is mounted to a NFS share. I have verified that I can read and write to the folder from the console, I have squash setup on the NFS server so it shouldn't matter what user on the PBS server that tries to write to it. It's also...

I had a massive cluster failure, long story short after a series of failures one node went rogue and started up VMs that were already running so it ended up causing massive corruption across the board. All the VMs that are already running work but minute I reboot them they fail. So I've been...

I discovered today that one of my nodes was off. I don't currently have physical access since I'm at work so it could very well be some kind of hardware failure, but I remote powered on another node that had been turned off to save power (only have one that has IPMI the others don't), since I...

I am trying to move a disk that is 6TB from one NFS share to the other but the command times out while creating the disk. I'm guessing it's because it just takes longer. Is there a way to disable or increase this timeout? Seems to me it would be more smart for it to look for an actual failure...

I am looking at upgrading my networking and thinking I want to go with 2 switches. The NAS, and each VM server would get 2 10 gig links, one from each switch. Is there any configuration options for setting this up so traffic can use both links and if one fails it just continues to work? Or...

I'm working on virtualizing my home automation server, it has two USB devices that act as a serial device, the first device is a relay controller with temp sensors and that one works. The other one is an Arduino. For some reason, that one only works if I disconnect and reconnect it. So if I...

I was reviewing my backups and realized that I didn't have a backup job setup to pull down anything from my online PVE host. So I added my local backup server's .pub file content to the authorized_keys file, not thinking that PVE uses this for cluster communication I presume. This particular...

Is there a way, perhaps with a plugin or something, to emulate a GPU, and for vram, assign it say, a SSD or something? Obviously it would be very slow, but it would perhaps be a way to run even very big LLMs locally without the expense of a real GPU. Is there actually a way to do this?

Had a catastrophic failure of my entire server rack, I don't know why but the batteries didn't last during a short outage and I still need to investigate this but long story short the whole rack dropped hard. I managed to recover the NAS and I can see all the LUNs and the data etc. But in PVE...

Curious if there are VirtIO drivers available for Windows98 or even older versions like 95 or even 3.11, and also just general drivers for stuff like display, mouse, keyboard etc. I installed Windows 98 just for fun and nostalgia but the cursor keeps loosing sync with console making it hard to...

I was getting ready to add more ram into one node so I moved VMs over to another node. Once that was done I shut down the node that now had no VMs running on it. It occurred to me that I did the wrong node when I got to the server room as there is another node physically sitting on it, so I...

Just curious, say you lose one or more nodes, and there is not enough ram to run all the VMs on the nodes that are left, or perhaps there's only 1 node left and it's one that has less ram installed, how does proxmox handle this, and how does it prioritize which VM to run, is there a way to...

I was playing around with Proxmox by virtualizing 2 nodes on my existing ESXi infrastructure, since it was taking forever for my new hardware to come through the mail and I was getting annoyed I started migrating VMs over anyway by converting the vmdks and creating new VMs. Things were going...

Currently my VM storage infrastructure is all NFS based, and so are all my general purpose file shares on my workstation etc. All going towards my NAS. Been toying with doing more of a SAN approach where the storage is on it's separate network and uses dedicated NICs to each VM host, and for...

i want to setup my stores to preallocate disks, that way they will not grow out of range like with thin provision. I have 40GB disks in vmware that are well over 2TB as they have just grown over time. So I want to avoid that. There is an option for "Full" and also an option for "Full...

This is not really a support question or anything just a good news story I guess. A little over 10 years ago I worked IT and we had a ESXi environment with HA and such and naturally I wanted something like that at home too but also didn't want to pay anything so I put the free version of ESXi...

If I have an unused disk, how do i go about assigning it to a VM? When I use the option, no VMs show up in the list to assign it to. I'm experimenting with converting vmdk files and found the command to convert, I placed the disks with a test VM and named the converted disks the same naming...

If you install an OS in a VM that has KVM acceleration turned off because VT-D is not available on the node, but later on add a node where it is available, can you migrate the VM over and then turn KVM acceleration on, or will the guest OS need to be reinstalled? I have a temporary cluster...

I'm trying to figure out networking but running into issues. So the node has two NICs, ens32 is management, connected to my management vlan, as a regular connection. Ens34 is a trunk port to the switch. So I tried to follow various tutorials on how to setup the vlans, but no matter what I did...
