    vzdump causing interface to enter promiscuous mode, triggering duplicate IP address warnings from Ethernet switch

    My backups (to PBS) are scheduled to run every night at 1:30am. For the last few nights, I get a warning from my Unifi switch saying that "multiple devices are using IP address 192.168.20.51..." which is the IP assigned to my bare metal PVE node. Nothing special about the node, it's a Mini NUC...

    Exclude entire VM? Or have to mark each disk?

    I know we can exclude an individual disk from getting backed up to PBS by unchecking the "Backup" checkbox in the Hardware tab... What I was wondering is: is there a way to completely exclude ALL disks (aka entire VM) from being backed up? (even new disks which might be added later) E.g. a way...

    Verify State error "old" in Yellow - what to do?

    Hello! I have PBS installed in a VM, it's been running great for a couple of months now. I pruned some old backups of vm/102 that were corrupt, and now when I look at my datastore, most of the groups have Verify State with a Yellow "All OK (old)" indicated. See screenshot below. I have tried...

    TL;DR for getting noVNC copy/paste clipboard sharing working with Ubuntu 24 guest

    I know there are a few threads, some quite old, about how to go about getting working copy/paste via the built in noVNC console viewer. I tried following a few, taking bits and pieces and trying to make it work but none of them quite lined up. In the end what seemed to work for me so far...

    qemu 9.x (9.0)

    I recently saw this commit https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-qemu.git;a=commit;h=2cd560e0d2d700159d3dbf452815b006996765ae and read the 9.0.0 announcement last month. Anyone knows when qemu v9 might land in a public PVE release?

    Install on Mac Mini 2018? (Macmini8,1)

    I was wondering if anyone has ever had any luck installing ProxmoxVE on a 2018-era Mac Mini (Intel). I have a few of them with 32-64GB of RAM and 10GbE and wanted to turn them into virtualization hosts. ESXi 7 does support them but I would much rather play around with Proxmox than boring old...

    Disable ACPI power button = shutdown host?

    Hi, I'm new to Proxmox and just getting started with a couple of small homelab machines (Intel NUCs) One thing I noticed right away (quite by accident) was that if someone merely bumps the front panel power button (ACPI) - the Proxmox host will immediately and without any confirmation just...
