Hi, is there a way I can automatically add an SSH public key to any created CTs? At the moment I am manually uploading my key when I create the CT but this doesn't work when I use the excellent community scripts?

Hi all, It would be great if there was a somewhat "authoritative" source of hosted PBSs. If there isn't already one, can we add replies to this please. I've found: - https://remote-backups.com/ (free 100GB, EUR10.00 per TB) - https://portal.tuxis.cloud/pbs (free 150GB, EUR19.84 per TB) and...

Hi, I have a local PBS server (in a CT on Proxmox) and an offsite one. If I merely "sync" them then any bug in the onsite PBS is replicated to the offsite one and I've lost the resilience of the 3-2-1 strategy. OTOH, backing up separately to the local one and remote one seems really inefficient...

I'm assuming yes, but just checking - PBS does "the right thing" if a CT/VM is included in multiple *overlapping* backup schedules? Including if they have different backup strategies? For example, assume I have CM/VM1 configured in an hourly *snapshot* schedule and a midnight *shutdown*...

Just musing out loud, but I'm sure there is a market for a set of OOTB Proxmox configurations. A "small office" set up with Nextcloud, email (Proxmox Email obviously ;-)), Samba, networking software, Zabbix etc. A "home server" one with Nextcloud, bookmarking, Zabbix etc. (Yes, these are really...

Hi all, how are you monitoring/alerting key metrics like: - hardware issues - disk utilisation - ZFS issues (integrity etc.) - SMART errors - network issues Primarily for the proxmox hosts but also the VMs? I've used Zabbix and Nagios years ago - are they still "the cool kidz on the streetz"?

Hi all. I'm getting a weird issue with connecting to the Proxmox Web UI. Everything works, containers work and are publicly accessible (tailscale), the host works and can ping the world, but eventually (within minutes/hours) the main web UI just stops. Connecting to it just hangs (i.e. it never...

Howdy, I have a script which offsites the backups of a single host and is integrated using the hooks.pl approach. Now I am moving to a cluster (of 3 nodes), and the backup storage is shared (NAS), I can't quite figure out to get the backup process to call my script on the relevant hooks. I...

Can I just say a massive _thank_you_ to the Proxmox team. Compared to when I last used it years ago, it is significantly improved. Great job!

Hi, i am using `lxc-attach --name CID` quite a bit bt it is getting tedious remembering the CID for the instance I want. I have given each container a memorable name (e.g. 'rclone' for the container which, you guessed it, rclones various things offsite). Is there a magic sequence of keys that...

Hi, I have installed Proxmox 5 on a single server and everything looks great. I have configured backups and receiving emails about those. My question is, will proxmox also email me on smart (disk) failures/temperature warnings etc.? What about diskspace, running out of memory etc.? Thanks!

Hi, I have installed Proxmox on top of an existing Debian server (so I can encrypt all the disks) at home and the bridged network is working well: auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eno1 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.0.31 netmask...

Hi Dietmar and Tom, First off - I am not moaning - this is meant as constructive criticism. I was going to email you but I think this forum (given the recent posts) is a more appropriate place. First off, I think Proxmox is great. The work you have done is fantastic and I am very...

Hi all, I have a cluster of 1.5 proxmox hosts using the .32 kernel and everything is fine. The only relevant thing that I can see on the release notes is "bug fixes"? Upgrading these hosts will be a pain because the (almost 80 VMs) need to be restarted in a certain order (i.e. the vyatta...

Hi, I have a number of nodes which run VMs which can communicate on a various VLANs. These VLANs are configured via the hosts web gui - all great. However, the hosts themselves cannot communicate with machines on the VLANs, and this makes sense - the hosts don't have an IP on the VLAN...

Hi all, I have a bit of a problem - I have lots (>40) KVM machines with Ubuntu Lucid installed on my cluster. I am also a bit of a muppet system admin so I have to far too frequently reboot the hardware. The problem is that the KVM guests with Ubuntu installed don't do anything when a...

Hi, At the moment I: - use vzdump to backup to a local disk (or SAN whatever) - rename the files so they are unique to the VMID (i.e. remove the date-time part) - rsync them offsite (actually I use rsync-backup) It would be really nice if vzdump did all that for me. Ideally I...

Hi all, I mistakenly specified a local disk instead of the remote NFS mount as the target for the backup directory and promptly ran out of disk space. Unfortunately now some of the /etc/qemu-server/XYZ.conf files are empty. Not all of them, but some of them: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root...

Hi all, My proxmox server became unresponsive for a few minutes and the VMs weren't working. When I managed to log back on (after 10 minutes or so), /var/log/messages was full of: Jul 18 13:59:45 pvemaster kernel: __ratelimit: 3204726 callbacks suppressed Jul 18 13:59:50 pvemaster...

Hi all, I have a SAN which exposes a number of LUNs. Some of those are mapped by the proxmox cluster. I noticed that every VM hard disk is actually a logical volume in the volume group that represents that LUN. Is there any reason why I shouldn't manually create a volume group in that...
