    Sanity check of proxmox backup configuration for home lab

    I would like a backup solution that is proportionate to the requirements of a home lab: something that 'makes sense' in terms of backup security (e.g. backups should ultimately reside at a remote location), but where performance/availability etc are not critical considerations. Both my local...

    Can't change ownership of /dev/fuse in lxc

    I'm trying to get fuse configured in a container but /dev/fuse is always owned by nobody:nogroup unless I chown the /dev/fuse on the proxmox host itself. I'd like user 10000 in the container to own /dev/fuse in the container. Container user 10000 is mapped to 110000 on the host. If I chown...

    Can I get error Email notifications?

    Hi, Is there a way to get Proxmox to send an email when it encounters an error? For example, one of my containers refused to start recently (it had run out of disk space). In the task list of the proxmox GUI, the task to start the container was highlighted in red and had an error description...

    [SOLVED] Ubuntu container won't restart

    Hi, One of my four containers refuses to restart after a recent power outage. I'd be grateful of steps I can take to try to resolve it. I've tried issuing the command: lxc-start -n 115 -F -lDEBUG -o temp/lxc-115-2.log: Here's the output at the command line lxc-start: 115: conf.c: run_buffer...

    Basic drive configuration query (for casual home use)

    I'm going to install Proxmox as the hypervisor for my home server and I was wondering what the community would recommend as my drive configuration. I've decided to store my data on a bunch of spinning disks using BTRFS. But on what should I install Proxmox and my VMs and containers...
