    Can PM VE be a NFS server?

    I have a PM VE host that has an external drive attached which I use for backup. It works great. I added a 2nd PM VE host, but it is not clustered as I can't get the PM VE versions to be compatible for corosync. I don't need them clustered though. However there is a 2nd NIC with an...

    Anyone installed PM VE (ideally older versions) on a Dell R630 and got the networking going?

    I have had a bunch of these servers colocated and never had a problem with PM 6.3 on them. We received a new one recently and it was shipped to a remote data center. It is supposed to be clustered with a PM 5.2 machine (older R610) so I attempted to install PM 5.4 on it. It installed fine...

    Question on blacklist format

    I am getting spam from a domain that has an enormous number of subdomains that they send through. If I blacklist the main domain (ie. xxxx.com) will that also blacklist all the subdomains with it? Or do I have to format the domain as *.xxxx.com or something like that?

    [SOLVED] VPS hosting for PMG needed

    Hi there, we run a PMG system that front-ends our mail server (Axigen) and it works perfectly. We had a number of colocated servers in a data center in Phoenix, USA but have decided to decommission those servers. We downsized to a single server in Texas, and that works great. Except.... The...

    Recommendation for best NVME config for Mini Computer for PM VE

    I am looking to purchase a couple of Minisforum MS-01 systems for a small PM VE cluster, and they have support in the boxes for up to 3 x NVME drives, and I'm looking at options to configure these. I can get 96GB of memory in each box, but would like to have 4TB or more of storage per box as...

    Recommended enterprise level SSDs for PM 8 on 1U server?

    I'm looking at custom building a 1U server designed for colocation, where it won't be serviced regularly. My goal is a low power consumption platform (ie. AMD EPYC or similar) with a 20TB+ storage system that removes most of the challenges of spinning HDD failure rates. I was thinking SSDs...

    Mini PC for Proxmox?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for an AMD Ryzen based Mini PC that is compatible for Proxmox 6 or 7? I need something expandable to 64GB memory or more, 2TB+ of Nvme storage, etc. The key thing is that I need it to consume < 100 watts of power. I have tried a couple of them, and results...

    PM VE on Minisforum HX90 issues

    So received a new Minisforum HX90 box with 4TB disk, 64GB memory, Ryzen, etc. and attempted to install PM 7.1 on it. Fail. For some reason, it would not detect the inbuilt 2.5Gb/s NIC, so I tried with a USB connected Ethernet adapter and it kinda worked. But then discovered that I could...

    SMTP Whitelisted Inbound Domains still slow to pass emails to mail server

    I'm not exactly sure what my expectations should be here, but I have setup a PMG in front of our mail server, and all is working fine for bi-direction integration. The one thing that caught me off guard was the time delay that was occurring between receiving a legitimate email from an external...

    Help with creating LXC for Centos 5

    Hi there, I'm provisioning a PVE 5.2 system to be deployed to a remote colocation facility. The system has to support some older, legacy software that only will run on CentOS 5 (32 or 64 bit). I have been able to install CentOS 6 successfully on this PVE version using templates, but I don't...

    Best practice to secure single hypervisor colocated

    I have to install a single server at a colocated facility, and it will be running PM 5.2. I need to be able to restrict the IP addresses that can access the hypervisor, but I cannot put the server behind an external firewall as the provider is only giving me 1U and 5 network IPs. Is there a...

    PM 3.3 and Dahdi/VoIP

    Before I dive in and try this, and at the risk of destroying a HN in the process, I wanted to know if anyone had tried the generally published Dahdi modifications for Asterisk on PM 3.3? This appears to have been a standard thing with PM 1.x in the past, but a lot has changed and I don't want...

    Clustering between data centers

    I have had this working before with PM 1.8 servers, and we are just completing updating to PM 3.1. We have two data centers, each with about 3-4 PM servers in there. I want to be able to have all servers as part of the one cluster. Right now we can do this within the data centers with ease...

    Migration failed, Cleaned up but left with zombie VMs

    I was migrating a number of OpenVZ VMs between two servers and there was an unexpected server crash. This resulted in the servers not migrating properly but it left them showing on the source server. I was able to eventually get them to the target server by way of a restore from backup, but...

    PM 3.1 Clustering - Reinstalling after master node failed

    I have a PM 3.1 cluster that has about 5 node members. On the weekend, the master server for the cluster died and we had to wipe & re-install PM on it. Its back online now, but its no longer part of the cluster. I did a cluster create on it, and that's done. But none of the child nodes are...

    Cluster across VPN?

    We have two data centers - about 2,000 miles apart. They are linked together with a Net-to-Net IPSEC configuration, and have their own subnet addresses for the internal networks. Each can see the other. I can ping from either data center to the other without issue. I have a cluster...

    Are there any Web APIs (ie. REST) for PMVE?

    Just curious... Are there any published REST APIs to the Proxmox VE servers? I'd love to develop some monitoring & management systems that are not relying on the PM Web Interface if I can get access to function APIs for interrogating the status of one or many PM VE servers.... Is this...

    Unified PM monitoring?

    We have about 15 PM servers running at 3 data center locations. Most are PM 1.8 and since some of the data centers have colocated servers and are remote (ie. 1,500 miles away), we don't get to the site location regularly. We have had no major issues with PM VE. Most of our guests are OpenVZ...

    NFS Server & Client Question

    We have been very successful in setting up PM 1.8 to work as a NFS client at the hypervisor level and then bind all OpenVZ guests to the NFS connection. It works great, very reliable and very easy to manage. However we are now looking to do something more. One of the OpenVZ hosts on a PM 1.8...
