    Just a quick question (mainly) for the PVE developers. When passing through a device to an LXC is it necessary to ALSO install the drivers for that device on the PVE host? Or is it enough to install them in the LXC? (so the PVE host OS remains untouched) I passed through the iGPU of my AMD APU...

    [TUTORIAL] Tutorial: Unprivileged LXCs - Mount CIFS shares

    Since unprivileged LXCs are not allowed to mount CIFS shares and priviliged LXCs are considered unsafe (for a reason) I was scraping my head around how to still have my NAS shares available in my LXCs, f.e. (Jellyfin, Plex, ...). The solution provided by the Proxmox Wiki would require many...

    Connections to PVE in VLAN timeout

    I would like to have my PVE available only via its VLAN_SRV_IP "10.10.73.10". Sadly when accessing it via SSH/SCP/HTTPS on that VLAN/IP the connection times out after about 30 seconds. When I access it on the untagged LAN IP "10.10.31.10" I don't get these timeouts. However, it can't be an issue...

    Hello, I have a single PVE node with several VMs and lots of backups. In order to improve redundancy I wanted to mirror the local storage to a cloud provider.
