    Help with UEFI boot issue after PVE 9 upgrade

    After upgrading to PVE9 our backup server (hardware copy of main server which gets VM backups rsynced to it) would not boot. I managed to get it back by changing the BIOS CSM to enabled, enabling legacy boot, and setting the boot drive to the non-uefi entry in the boot priorities list. After...

    Formatting change in version 8 for backup email notifications

    I'm finding the new formatting of the backup notification emails to be less readable than what I get from version 7. The table formatting has the cell borders more flat and they seem to have no margin with the text. It looks better if I blow up the font size a bit, but it's definitely takes more...

    Slow network in VM or Container with Realtek USB 8153 adapter

    I have added a USB 3 Realtek 8153 adapter to my system to get a second ethernet port to test with on my home server. While the adapter works well with Proxmox/Debian 9 itself, performance in a container or VM is quite slow comparatively. I can SCP a file to the Proxmox OS at about 115MB/s...

    Best redundancy/backup option for 2 nodes?

    I have two servers, both with 2 drives, 1 SSD and 1 Spinning disk. Right now I have them setup with VMs and containers running on the SSDs and the HDDs used for backups. This works fine for our needs as it's mostly stuff for our office running on them and a hour or so of downtime during...

    Proxmox 5 won't quit pulling a dhcp lease?

    I setup a new Proxmox 5 install on my home network with DHCP. After verifying I could log in to the web interface and ran updates I set the IP to static shutdown the server and took it to work. At work I logged into the ip that was on the home network updated it to match the work network and...
