    Increase PVE timeout when listing PBS storage contents

    TLDR; Is it possible to increase the timeout in PVE when listing PBS backups? Seems to timeout at ~25 seconds and there is no way to get the list of backups to do a restore, neither from the storage view nor within the VM it self. Is there a way to really tell ZFS to always keep metadata in...

    Permissions for proxmox-backup-client garbage-collect

    Hi! Trying to script a few things, but I'm unable to use proxmox-backup-client garbage-collect unless the user has full "Admin" rights in PBS. Why it doesn't work just with "DatastoreAdmin" rights? Thanks!

    Predict if nic name may change on kernel update?

    I've already updated some clusters and single node PVE to 8.2 + kernel 6.8.x (9 systems in total, 5 different hardware configs). Only one of those systems changed the nic name. It was the first I tried in the lab and changed from eno1 to eno1np0. I currently check why the kernel gives some name...

    SPICE error: "certificate has expired"

    I've had an issue with one VM when trying to connect to it's SPICE console, complaining about an expired certificate. This is odd as I'm using the self generated certificates for this cluster: (remote-viewer:57402): Spice-WARNING **: 10:05:14.912: ssl_verify.c:479:openssl_verify: Error in...

    bridge-vids not filtering unwanted vlans?

    Hello, If I'm not mistaken, bridge-vids sets "the space separated list of VLANs to be allowed tagged ingress/egress on this interface" [1]. So, if I set a bridge vmbr0002 with bridge-vids 2-512, and connect some VMs to it but with a vlan id>512, the VMs network traffic should not get into the...

    "Missing" memory on Linux VMs but not on Windows ones

    I've just noticed that Linux VMs get less usable memory than that configured in the VM. For example, for a VM with 512MiB, top/htop/free shows just 466MiB (lost aprox 9%). For a 4GiB VM, only 3915.3MiB is available to the OS (lost 2.1%). A 128MiB VM will lose like 23% and give just 98.3MiB for...

Fist setup the no subscription repos and install the packages, then add subscription either via cli or webUI and then enable the enterprise repo.

    notes-template for new backup jobs?

    I can edit /etc/vzdump.conf and add a custom notes-template, say: notes-template: {{vmid}}-{{guestname}} ({{node}}-{{cluster}}) Then if I try to backup a VM, the notes-template value is applied. But if I add a new backup job at datacenter level the notes-template is not applied. In fact, no...

    Datastore total space while using ZFS dataset as storage

    Hi, I'm trying to find out how does PBS get the value of the total capacity of a dataset stored in a ZFS dataset. I'm seeing this: Both datastores are created on a different dataset each, both in the same ZFS pool. Neither has quota. Datastore "VMs" got created first has almost all the zpool...

    qm rescan seems to not check CEPH storages

    We had a hardware issue in one 3 node cluster with both local and CEPH storages. We had to move some VMs around both from nodes and from storages. All VMs are running correctly, albeit in just two nodes until we get replacement hardware. Somehow during this procedure (probably forgot to tick...

    Is it possible to change the default authentication realm on PBS?

    I have been searching the forum but haven't found a reply. I have created a few auditing accounts that will have access to different datastores each. They are all "pbs" accounts. I would like to ease the logon process for the users, so they do not have to change the realm at logon. Is there...
