    [SOLVED] Datastore on LVM thin volume (works OK)

    Hi dcsapak, Thanks once again for helping me out! Haha, quite so :-P

    Configure VM network in a different Subnet under Proxmox VE

    ok, so these are the management ports. I wanted to ask about the other ports, and just noticed you (indeed) used one of the other ports for guest networking :-) Nice you got it solved!

    PMG on top of Debian vs container

    Hi all, I'm contemplating replacing a mail server with PMG. The installation options that are relevant to me are 'on top of Debian' (together with PVE) or 'Download the LXC template' The mail server sees a fairly low volume of mail. Is there any benefit to one or the other option? The only...

    Configure VM network in a different Subnet under Proxmox VE

    I'd like to chime in with Maximiliano. What is your goal with putting the VM in another subnet? The IPs in your examples seem quite random (nothing wrong with that, of course ;-) )

    [SOLVED] No connection after adding SATA controller to VM

    Hi, I'm a bit late to the party with maybe not a useful question, anyway :-P Not so new anymore in the meantime :-) With TrueNAS scale running Linux, why would you run a VM when a container works perfectly with fewer resources and higher performance? You could do away with passthrough and...

    Trying to ultimately setup SFTP in PxMx CT

    I offer Nextcloud upload links for exactly that. My Nextcloud runs on Yunohost, Jirafeau is another (more lightweight) app in its catalog to provide just that service. There are probably numerous services that provide something like that. Oh, yes, and if everything else fails, XKCD Whichever...

    Trying to ultimately setup SFTP in PxMx CT

    Did you setup your DNS for samba.domain.com? By the way, your will not actually name it samba in DNS, would you? It works of course, but with DNS being public and samba not always easily configured securely, it might not be the best name :-P SFTP is included with OpenSSH. If you manage to SSH...

    No acces to the proxmox server

    So, Proxmox runs on your laptop, and it boots with no problem? After booting, does it show a login prompt with just above that the address where the web interface can be found? Is that the address you'd expect? But not new to Linux and networking? Proxmox is plain Debian with some magic glue...

    install help

    @jhawk2k20 's (easy to follow!) instructions don't say you should not use Proxmox; I read it as "Proxmox is not needed for Minecraft". I think the things you mentioned could easily run on a computer with Debian installed. Also without virtualization or containerization, either from Windows to...

    New to Linux and ProxMox - Help please

    I have zero experience with Windows in general, let alone on Proxmox, so in that regard I'm less than useless. I did notice 'raw' as the disk format, as opposed to qcow2. This probobly is exactly _because_ you use LVM thin provisioning. With thin provisioning you already have the low disk...

    Thanks! I was not familiar with the abbreviation :-)

    High ram usage, slow system

    I had to think about this one. The rationale would be: With power loss protection, ZFS will perform write-back, ie, YOLO-writes to storage Without power loss protection, ZFS will perform write-through writes to storage Before running TRIM, there might not be enough freely available blocks...

    Yes, you could perfectly do that!

    New to Linux and ProxMox - Help please

    That seems well enough :) I had a look, on my side the video starts a bit blurry. I was able to read 'time out' at the 18 seconds mark, just before you switch from console to web interface: It seems your BIOS/UEFI is set to boot from (virtual) DVD? I try to stay away from Windows...

    install help

    Clear enough :) I like Proxmox a lot, but maybe it is more than you need. In basics, Proxmox is a program to give you easy access to virtualization features on a Linux computer. You would run virtualization if you want to run multiple computers at the same time, without having multiple...

    Best recommendation for a specific scenario

    Thank you for taking the trouble :) Yes, you can run VLANs. I recall there being differences between the Linux bridge and the OVS bridge in that respect, but I think that the differences have been pushed to edge cases (here's a PDF with colourful graphics as one of the top search results). My...

    Hard Disk recommendation

    What is your definition of betterness? I myself would look at energy consumption first for an always-on system. Seeing jdancer's reply, about reliability is also important of course, even if you have backups. Why specifically these two items?

    Best recommendation for a specific scenario

    Hi Orionpy, I had some trouble getting through the wall of text. Multiple IPs via a single NIC are not a problem, the rest was a bit difficult to read ;-) Did you play with the new SDN feature?

    High ram usage, slow system

    Do you mean install-time or on the installed system? For the installed system I don't know actually, and have no unused disks to try it out. I'm quite frugal with disks, and mostly assign just partitions instead of full disks (so I have not used the GUI for that all too often).
