Hi guys. I'm in a bit of a squeeze. I have set up three small machines running Proxmox (8.3 / 8.4) in a cluster. Mostly just to be able to move VMs between them if required. The one running 8.3 is out of the picture as the two others has been moved to a new location for a demo. No issue really...

I am using HAProxy on pfSense to access my PVE cluster as I am accessing PVE from a different VLAN. However, when accessing PVE via the reverse proxy, using the Console for PVE itself or any VM is working only sporadically, and times out most of the time. The HAProxy configuration is very...

Sorry if my terminology is off. Hopefully you will get my meaning. My Proxmox host has 5 NICs. My router is a virtual pfSense running on Proxmox providing two subnets (SEC / IOT) connected to separate physical switches from the Proxmox NICs. The console interface to Proxmox is now on a...

I have an Ubuntu VM for which I want two interfaces: one interface for untagged traffic (i.e. VLAN 1) and one for a specific VLAN. I am not quite sure about the correct way to configure this in Proxmox. I have a VLAN aware bridge where a VLANs are trunked (vmbr4) and if I create a VM with a...

I am quite new to vLANs so please forgive me of my terminology is off. Today I have pfSense running as a VM on Proxmox (on a computer with 5 NICs), which is working great and up until now I have only been using subnets as I have not had any vLAN aware equipment. However, I have now bought some...

I'm running a small Proxmox server at home just to virtualize my pfSense router/firewall and a Home Assistant OS. The server has a NIC for WAN, LAN and one for the PVE console. I fairly new to using PVE. Is it necessary for me to enable the firewall/add rules at any level in Proxmox? I'm...

Confused? I know I am. Being quite new to both Proxmox and ZFS there are a lot of concepts I don't have a good grasp on yet. One of them are snapshots. From what I understand that they are incremental records of the change from you took the snapshot and the current state. ZFS has snapshot...

I am installing Proxmox on two SSDs in a ZFS mirror (RAID1) configuration (why does the hdsize show 476?). Proxmox itself should not take up to much space and my VM/LXC space will be on separate drives. How much space should I make for Proxmox and could I use the rest for an L2ARC stripe...

I am quite new to Proxmox and I have been trying to read up on the subject of resource allocation, but I still find it difficult to determine the best practises. As an example I have recently set up Proxmox on a small computer with a 4 Core i3 CPU and 8GB RAM. I have configured 3 VMs; pfSense...

Hi experts, I have read a bunch of post on this topic, but have still to find a clear answer to this. My intended setup is as depicted below. I need a proper way to access the ZFS datasets on the HDD storage pool from the VMs. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I have been reading the OpenZFS Performance and Tuning document and came across this section: In practice, how is this done in Proxmox? Lets say I have a a couple of dedicated SSDs for VMs/LXCs configured in a ZFS mirror. How do I create a new VM storing it on a ZVOL and what will be the...

Could someone please explain ZFS TRIM on Proxmox? Particularly the difference between setting autotrim=on and using zpool trim and best practices for use on SSD zpools an a Proxmox server (simple home lab server).

Hi, I could really need some input from some experts on how to best configure this setup. I understand there are some best practices and recommendations when it comes to using ZFS in Proxmox. My plan is to have three separate pools; one for installing Proxmox, one for VMs/LXCs and one for data /...

I am setting up a new Proxmox server that will function as a file-/media-server, running mostly LXC containers and maybe a 1-2 VMs. I have 2 x Samsung 250GB 870 EVO SATA SSDs and 2 x Samsung 512GB 970 PRO NVMe M.2 SSDs to use for the server OS/System/VMs. I could really use some input on how...

I'm setting up a Proxmox VE server primarily for running an Ubuntu Server VM with several Docker services / containers for file-/media-hosting, but having the added flexibility of begin able to run additional VMs / LXC containers if required. The thought is to install Proxmox on two regular...

I am building a home Ubuntu Server w/Docker NAS for file and media storage/sharing and I am planning to use Proxmox as I like the flexibility of being able to run other VMs on the server in the future as well (perhaps Home Assistant and pfSense). The hardware I am using is listed below in...
