    More reliable drive mounting after host reboot

    Hi, I'm having an issue with ensuring the physical drives on my proxmox hosts mount reliably after a reboot. Right now my /etc/fstab looks like this: LABEL=SSD1 /mnt/SSD1 ext4 rw,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,errors=remount-ro 0 2 LABEL=SSD2 /mnt/SSD2 ext4...

    Safely sharing host directory amongst multiple LXC containers

    A quick validation question for the gurus here: Is it possible to bind mount a host directory to multiple LXC containers and not run into disk write conflicts? Let's say there is a folder [or entire drive] on the host at /mnt/ssd/myfolder. And I have multiple unprivileged LXC containers, say...

    Restrict access to LAN

    I'm experimenting with the Security Group feature for the first time. I've read the documentation but can't quite put my finger on it... I have a KVM running LMDE and want it to be able to access the internet, but not any devices on the LAN. The use case is to give users linux virtual machines...

    Host Uptimes (or reboot frequency best practice)

    Hi all- I'm just curious how often you all reboot your hosts? I suppose it's the same as a more general question of how often to reboot a fairly plain debian box. But I'm just curious, anecdotally what sort of frequency you do so. I use unattended-upgrades and it sends me an email whenever an...

    Proxmox GUI not working

    I had what I thought was a hard drive failure, so I pulled the drive and put it into a different host, but the drive is fine. The Host is wonky though. I only have remote access through a not-so-nice lantronix spider KVM. But I can get to the console and log in as root. pct list shows the...

    Mapping single uid/gid to unprivileged LXC container

    I'm loathe to post this asking for help because there are already several threads about uid/gid mapping for an unprivileged LXC container (believe me, I've read and re-read them all!), and there's even @DougD's python script to automate the process.. so I feel really dumb... but I've been trying...

    [SOLVED] Postfix differences when installing on LXC vs KVM

    Just a strange thing I found when installing postfix on kvm vs lxc. I tested this with debian 10 and ubuntu 20.04, installed using the container templates, and bare bones installations using the ISOs on KVM. When installing postfix, on the KVM it runs the reconfigure script, but on LXC it...

    Finding the true size of VMs/CTs on lvm-thin

    Hi, I've been searching for a way to do this. I have a pretty standard PVE installation (ext4, lvm-thin). I'm trying to find a way to get the true amount of disk space used by the various KVMs and LXC containers. I've read the documentation and tried pvesm, read google results, searched the...

    Recover a file from an LXC container that won't start

    One of my debian containers refuses to start .. it may be related to the fact that I lost one of my proxmox server's drives (that kept CT and VM backups and LXC templates...) anyway, the container won't start. I ran lxc-start -n 100 -F -l DEBUG -o /tmp/lxc-100.log and it gave me this output...
