    Problem with LXC network interfaces containing `@` character

    I use `debops` (https://debops.org) to manage Debian-based VMs and LXCs. Generally I have no problems, but I've just hit one that I'm hoping somebody might be able to help me with. debops uses `ferm` to manage the firewall. I need to add some rules to the `FORWARD` chain that specify the...

    Unable to install proxmox-boot loader during installation of V8.2 on ZFS RAID1

    I've had a problem when I went to update a ZFS based Proxmox V7 node. It was configured with 4 disks as two RAID1 mirrors in a single pool. The idea was to start afresh with this node and restore the various containers and vms from backups once it was in the cluster To ensure I had a clean...

    Blank admin screen when viewed from iOS device

    My proxmox node is running 7.x and is using a self-generated certificate. So, I have to instruct the browser to visit anyway (same for Safari, Chrome, Firefox). This is OK when I access from a Mac or Windows machine, but when I access from an iOS device, I end up with a blank screen. It is live...

    Backup of LXC failing

    I'm running Proxmox 7.4.16 on several (unclustered) nodes. One LXC on one of the nodes repeatedly fails to backup; though it did use to. Normally, it backs up to PBS, but to eliminate this, I ran a backup to local storage and got the following INFO: Backup started at 2023-12-31 13:42:48 INFO...

    Backup failing ENOSPC when there is plenty of free space

    My backup jobs have just started failing. The following extract from the backup job's log shows that it failed with an ENOSPC error. However, there is plenty of space on all disks - including the backup server. INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --all 1...

    LVM-Thin not appearing as destination for new LXC

    Hi All I've just added a new node to my home cluster so I can migrate some VMs. However, when I look at the node's disks, it shows LVM-Thin in the list, but LVM-Thin does not show up as a destination for new VMs. The attached image should explain, PVE1 is the problem node. As you can see...

    Error when using Terraform to create LXC

    I'm just getting started using Terraform to create LXC on my Proxmox nodes, so this is probably down to permissions. When I use the following Terraform plan to create an LXC, I get an error saying only root can create arbitrary filesystems, however, the provider docs state that a rootfs must be...

    Getting TPM Error from Windows 10 KVM

    I have a Windows 10 KVM installed on PVE 7.1-10. It's running fine, but I've just noticed an error in the System log: The device driver for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) encountered a non-recoverable error in the TPM hardware, which prevents TPM services (such as data encryption) from being...

    rsync failing between two servers - have I tried to be too clever?

    I used to have the following: iMac 21" with Time Machine backups SMARTOS server with huge ZFS disks for backups A zone on the SMARTOS server was installed with rsnapshot. Under manual control I could instruct this zone to use rsnapshot to take a full copy of my home directory on the iMac. I...

    [SOLVED] CT Fails start "Error: startup for container '102' failed"

    I have an LXC CT that's failing to start and I can't see how to debug why. The journal (see below) indicates that it starts but then fails to run it's startup script. The container does mount an NFS filesystem on another server, but it's not critical and shouldn't cause a failure to boot. Is...

    Newly joined node not working in cluster "unable to create directory '/etc/pve/nodes' - Permission denied"

    I've just brought up a new node with ZFS as its store. I updated it and then added it to an existing cluster. I did see an error about "unable to create directory /etc/pve/nodes" but it was fleeting and I didn't get to capture it properly. The other nodes are all OK, and all nodes report that...

    Resolving problem where corosync.config differs between nodes

    I have a 4-node cluster where one of the nodes has dropped out. The contents of /etc/pve/corosync.config on the failed node differs from the other nodes, pve-cluster.service is reporting errors and corosync.service fails. Any ideas on how to resolve this? root@pve5:~# systemctl status...

    Backing up non-vm data volumes

    I have a number of qemu and lxc "vms" running on a PVE 7 host. Another node in the cluster is running PBS to backup said qemus and lxc. I now want to add an LXC that uses a bind-mount to another ZFS dataset outside of PVE (so that the data can be shared by more than one lxc). I can't see how...
