    Running Proxmox and VirtualBox side by side now possible ?

    Just in case you missed it : a German company launched an open-source KVM-backend for VirtualBox https://cyberus-technology.de/articles/vbox-kvm-public-release https://github.com/cyberus-technology/virtualbox-kvm So, it seems running Proxmox+VirtualBox at the same time should now be possible...

    clarification needed about ballooning Wiki page

    The "Dynamic Memory Management" Wiki page states, about ballooning : Does that mean : (a) that the unused memory is given back to the host to be used as it wishes, even for non-Proxmox/KVM related tasks OR (b) that the unused memory is given back to the host, but only to be used by other VMs

    best storage for a cluster in a hostile environment ?

    What is the best storage choice for a Proxmox cluster in a hostile environment ? By hostile environment I mean an environment with frequent power outages... VERY frequent power outages ... Like 300 power outages in 2 years... The best of course would be to eliminate these power outages by...

    shared storage allowing VM and LXC snapshots

    Just a quick question to be sure my understanding of https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage#_storage_types is right I am looking to set up a shared storage that supports snapshots for both VMs and LXC containers. As I understand, the only options are : CephFS Ceph/RBD ZFS over iSCSI LVM over...

    V5.4 : does qm vncproxy not support VeNCrypt/X509Plain anymore ?

    Hi, For some reasons irrelevant to explain, I used to connect to VMs with an external VNC Viewer (TigerVNC), by setting up inetd.conf on the server. Until PVE 5.1 everything worked fine. I just set up a 5.4 server, and now vncviewer only prompts for password, not for username. It seems PVE...

    Warning: Cannot acl_from_text

    Hi, I just got this TAR warning when I restored an LXC backup to a new Proxmox server (5.3) : $ sudo pct restore 1011 /home/.DATA1/BACKUPS/dump/vzdump-lxc-1011-2019_03_22-23_24_38.tar.lzo --storage disks --force true (...) extracting archive...

    space requirement for local tmp dir ?

    Hi, I'm doing backups on an NFS Share, and I'm looking to increase the speed. Log says « temporary directory is on NFS, (...) consider configuring a local tmpdir via /etc/vzdump.conf" My understanding is setting up a local tmp dir means it will be faster (it won't copy over network twice). But...

    Increase LXC container STARTUP timeout ?

    I've got a small Proxmox 5.1 server running 8 LXC containers (Debian). Randomly, when the server reboots (usually after a power outage), 1 of the 8 containers (always the same) doesn't start. I can start it manually without any problem. Only difference between this container and the 7 others ...

    LXC restore operation should leave additional disks that are not included in backup untouched (IMHO)

    I think the way LXC backup/restore works toward additional mounted disks can be misleading and dangerous (I recently lost some data, fortunately not important). Let's say I have a container with an additional disk (mp0, "Backup" checkbox left unchecked, so the disk is NOT included in backups)...
