    Issues with cloud-init and Ubuntu Cloud Image 24.04 LTS

    Hey @bbgeek17 thanks for the reply. Your name stood out in the other threads troubleshooting Ubuntu Cloud Images. No I understand this, it is just that a part of me deep inside can't fathom why a) such a popular distribution can not work out of the box and b) that there is not more of a big fuss...

    Issues with cloud-init and Ubuntu Cloud Image 24.04 LTS

    Hello, I wanted to create a few VM's and initialize them with cloud-init by following this video right here. Unfortunately for the second time I have tried this it hasn't worked as planned. The first thing that I tried was copying exactly what was done on the video (Ubuntu Cloud Image 24.04...

    ProxmoxVE arrives on MAAS

    Hi sorry to necrobump a bit, but what you describe is essentially duplicating what terraform does and slightly worse at that. Does anyone have an update on whether there is a tool to automatically provision Proxmox?

    PCIe Passthrough crashes the system

    https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/pci-passthrough-qla2xxx-crashes-host.57476/post-516744 Check the link. The problem for me was that I had assigned all available memory to the VM and when I attempted to start it with a PCI device passthrough it would clash. When I reduced the memory the problem...

    Pci passthrough (qla2xxx) crashes host

    Not sure if this is exactly relevant to your case but I had an issue where PCI passthrough of a NIC was causing the host to crash. I had only one VM at the time on my host and I had assigned all available memory to the VM (16GB out of 16GB). As soon as the VM would start the host would crash...

    [SOLVED] PCI passthrough causes Proxmox host to crash

    After a long investigation and trying different things from the internet I finally found the solution. This happened because I had assigned all of the memory to the VM. This works fine normally but for some reason the passthrough does not like that and requires some memory for itself. Once I...

    [SOLVED] PCI passthrough causes Proxmox host to crash

    Hello, I was trying to install an OPNsense VM on a host with Proxmox. I installed it fine and then went to configure it and everything was still working. I noticed that after I added a PCI device (NIC) as passthrough the host started crashing as soon as the VM was booting which means that if...

    [SOLVED] How to identify disks during Proxmox installation

    I agree @bbgeek17 and thanks for(both) the suggestion(s). The truth of the matter is that since I did not have any significant work done on the TrueNAS only just recently installed it and no data on the HDD's it was low risk for me to go down that route.

    Using etckeeper with proxmox

    Hello, Just installed proxmox and I want to start tinkering with it. I wanted to have a log of the mess that I am about to inflict on myself and wanted to install etckeeper. However when I try to do `etckeeper init` as root I get the error: Proxmox is on a RAID-Z1. Initial reaction was to...

    [SOLVED] How to identify disks during Proxmox installation

    I will try it, good idea. I did find a possible solution. I booted into TrueNAS and run I think glabel status (or one of camcontrol devlist, glabel list not sure right now). The output was something like: "Found GPUID in the MBR section" followed by more detailed data. However this output...

    [SOLVED] How to identify disks during Proxmox installation

    Hello, I want to install Proxmox to serve as a bare metal hypervisor to amongst other things my already installed TrueNAS. I have created a pool for my datadisks and I have an SSD which is the boot pool for it. Now I have another couple of SSD's that I would like to install Proxmox on as a...

    PFSense VM on Proxmox

    Thank you very much for your help. One clarification, do you mean port or network interface card? Are eth0, eth1 and eth2 different ports (e.g. 3 ports of a single Intel i350 NIC or different cards (3 x Intel i350 NIC)? Sorry for being pedantic, I just find that sometimes terms are overloaded...

    PFSense VM on Proxmox

    Hi bobmc, I am a bit confused about your confusion (so meta :p) but I am close to a noob so maybe I phrased it wrong. I have a motherboard with a Intel® i350 GbE controller (I would call this H/W NIC (Network Interface Card)) that has 4 ethernet ports. If I understand the guide correctly...

    PFSense VM on Proxmox

    Hi, I plan to install Proxmox on my home server and then have at least 3 VM's one PFSense, one for TrueNAS and one for services. I only have the single HW NIC that comes with my motherboard that has 4 Ethernet ports. Is it possible to configure Proxmox so that the input from the Modem goes...
