    How to gracefully handle cert renewal?

    I use a Let' s Encrypt cert on both my PVE and PBS servers. This morning I woke up to a bunch of email alerts of failed backups and datastore connection failures. After some messing about I found that the cert on my PBS server had renewed so the fingerprints no longer matched. Was an easy fix...

    Best method to migrate OS disks for standalone node

    Currently have proxmox running as a single node on a Dell R730xd. I use the rear 2.5" drive bays above the PSUs for my OS disks. They are setup as a RAID 1 using the onboard RAID controller. I'm using spinning disks and they live right at their temp limit in those slots. I'm worried about...

    VLAN best practice

    I've been using vlans for a long time in Proxmox. I've always created a single bridge per physical nic on the host, made it vlan aware and then just tagged each virtual nic on the vm/ct. However I recently read somewhere (that I can't seem to dig out), where it mentioned setting up a bridge...

    Do I need firewall rules to secure VMs in different VLANs?

    I have multiple VLANs configured on my VE host and manged and routed in my router/firewall, the thought just crossed my mind if I needed to add inter vlan firewall rules to block traffic on the host itself. The simple question being how does internal routing/switching happen on the host? Is it...

    [SOLVED] IPMI Tool error after v8 upgrade

    After the upgrade to v8 I'm getting alerts for "IANA PEN registry open failed: No such file or directory" for a IPMI script that runs on my host. I've seen a lot of talk about this bug, but I can't decipher the root cause, or a solution. If I understand correctly this has been patched, maybe...

    vzdump script for specific backup job possible?

    I'm trying to find the simplest method to backup a few VM's to my Google Drive. I found the hook script https://github.com/TheRealAlexV/proxmox-vzbackup-rclone that utilizes rclone. Seems doable. But the thing I can't figure out is if it's possible to only call this script for a specific...

    Can't remove source disk after move.

    PVE 7.0-10 was upgrading one of my RAID arrays on my single node. I dropped in a secondary drive and migrated my VM's to that "Temp" drive, upgraded RAID, migrated my VM's to the new array. I used the "remove from source" checkbox to keep from doing manual cleanup of unused disks afterwards...

    Struggling to add backup disk...

    I love Proxmox I rarely have any issue with anything. But adding a new physical disk and getting it mounted might be the most frustrating thing I've ever done. I blame linux for this more than proxmox. Long story short I keep an 8TB drive locally in my proxmox host for local backups. That...
