I've been trying to setup a laptop with Proxmox for working on the road. I have no bridge configured, only a WiFi interface. The laptop is a member of my home development cluster, and everything seems to work perfectly. The WiFi interface on the laptop and the vmbr0 interfaces on the other...

Windows 11 24H2 guest on Proxmox 8.2.7 On shutdown it goes through the whole shutdown process but then the UEFI just boots it again... Under VirtualBox 7.1.4 on macOS 15.0.1 Windows 11 23H2 shuts down as expected. Where should I start looking?

I have a 4-node cluster in my homelab. I want to rename two nodes, and also delete a third node (originally created for quorum purposes only). What is the best way to proceed? I could migrate all VMs and CTs to the one node that won't be renamed, remove all the others, rename two of the nodes...

I use Proxmox as an XFCE-based workstation, following these instructions: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Workstations_with_Proxmox_VE_and_X11 I need to be able to connect to an OpenVPN server with TOTP or Yubikey authentication so I'd like to be able to use the GUI to connect. I...

I've been running Proxmox as my workstation OS at the office for years. Since the pandemic I've been working from home where I've always been using (X)Ubuntu. Recently reinstalled and went up to 22.04 Now I wanted to spin up some VMs and wanted to get bridged networking for that. What a pain in...

I have some containers with large disks (mount points). I'd like to reduce the number of reserved blocks on these. How can I do this? According to mount inside the container, the filesystem is ext4: colin@www1:/dev$ mount | grep images /dev/mapper/pve-vm--120--disk--2 on /disks/images type ext4...

Hi, Upgrading some of our virtual machines, I'm moving to containers where possible. One of our machines has a large 4TB disk stored on LVM storage (we use hardware RAID underneath so we don't use ZFS). I'd like to detach this disk from the virtual machine and attach it to the new container. is...

Hi, I'm wondering how you create the Ubuntu templates that you make available. We have a number of developers that are still using Virtual Box (yes, I know...) and installing a virtual machine with a minimal Ubuntu server installation results in many more packages than what's in the Ubuntu...

Hi, I'm using Proxmox as my development workstation, doing my development inside various LXC containers. These are configured with a small root disk to which I usually add a larger mount point mounted on /home for all my data -- the idea being I can copy these and/or attach these to new...

Hi, Recent versions of Proxmox VE have a built-in ACME client which works really well (we use DNS domain validation). Are you going to add this same support into PBS? I don't see it on the roadmap. If so, for installs where the PBS is installed to the same host OS install as PVE (ie...

I'm concerned about the limitations of LXC containers for production servers. Currently we run our main production servers (web, database, etc) as KVM virtual machines but were considering deploying them in containers in future. We have quite a few small applications running in containers and...

I'm having a problem that has been reported by other Debian and Ubuntu users that udisksd is using lots of CPU. Right now I'm investigating workarounds rather than solutions so my question is: Is this service essential to Proxmox? What happens if I stop and disable it?

Hi, What's the best way to upgrade from Proxmox 4.4 to something more current, probably 6.0? Our servers are basically default installs and are patched up-to-date. All of our VMs and containers are stored in LVM. We don't use ZFS. Our servers aren't clustered in any way. Thanks, Colin

Hi, I created an Ubuntu 18.04 container under Proxmox 4.4 from the supplied template. Didn't supply an SSH key, just a password. But when I try to login on the console I type: root <enter> and then shortly after it says Incorrect login There's never a prompt for the password. How do I...

Reading https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Linux_Container#_privileged_containers both Proxmox and the LXC team are recommending that we use unprivileged containers, and stop using privileged containers. So why is not the default?

Hi, Our former system adminsitrator left our company; is it safe to delete his Proxmox accounts? These are in the PVE Authentication realm. Don't all the permissions go via roles? And I understand it's not possible for such a user to "own" anything, correct? Thanks, Colin

Hi, Do you plan to make Proxmox Storage Replication work on LVM at some point in the future? Or will it forever be ZFS only? Thanks, Colin
