A lot of guides suggest passing through physical disks to VMs when people want to run things like TrueNAS. But what if you want to use your HDDs for more than just a NAS like for instance log devices to reduce "less important" writes to SSDs or PBS? My gut says I should just setup the RAIDZ at...

(Sorry about the vague title I was a bit unsure what to use, even writing this post is brainstorming for me) I have a single proxmox host in my homelab it has 10 SATA SSDs split as follows: - Proxmox OS + majority of guest OS disks sit on a 2 device zfs mirror - Some guest VMs have data living...

I was wondering is it possible to leverage other interfaces like USB, serial etc for the corosync heartbeat in a proxmox cluster? Like this you may be able to avoid having a switch which can also fail in your heartbeat path and just have a mesh (for small 3 node clusters you would only need 3...

Hey everyone, I have a UPS connected directly to my PVE host by USB, I would like to monitor it with nutd, my gut is that since nutd is a small daemon and also since if the battery gets low it needs to anyhow do drastic things like shutting down the host it should just run directly on the host...

What is default layout and settings/features/fstab used by proxmox when installing to run on ZFS? Background - I installed a system with the Debian text installer and then converted Debian to proxmox, now I installed two new SSDs and want to migrate the system to a ZFS mirror, the proxmox...

Hi, I have a Proxmox 7.4 system running from a single SSD at the moment and want to create a mirrored device and transfer my root filesystem there. If I just use mdadm to create this I'm pretty sure everything should work as long as I update the UUID in fstab and grub.cfg (1). With ZFS based...

Hey, I saw a bunch of older topics that say it is only possible to install via serial console by doing a Debian install and then converting it to Proxmox (as documented here for Proxmox 5 and here for Debian Buster [oldstable]), is this still the best/only way to do this? And will the Buster...

Hi, We're experimenting with proxmox and I'm hoping I'll be able to bring it in to replace VMware. One of the things I very much would like to do for "DMZ" servers is have microsegmentation/port-isolation (ie the only way for them to talk to other servers is through the firewall). I could of...

Hi everyone, New to this community, the other day I decided to start playing with proxmox to see if I can move our company to proxmox. Like others before me I ran into the "no cdrom found" error and I would like to share some of the insights I gained. My initial attempts to boot were from a...
