    Allowing all hosts that can connect to port 26 be trusted networks.

    Hi all, So I have a mate that I'm relaying email via my PMG instance. He's on a dynamic IP - which due to DNS updates works fine for sending mail TO his mail server, but having mail sent via PMG port 26 becomes difficult because I can't add a dynamic IP to the list of trusted networks. Given I...

    Shutting down the last VM on a bridge takes the bridge down.

    I've just been playing with my newly installed PVE 9.0.6 install - and when implementing BGP on the host using FRR, I noticed that if I shut down all VMs on the host, then the bridges will end up in the `state DOWN` state when viewing the output of `ip addr`. I managed to find a bit of a...

    MACRO firewall rules not working with nftables?

    Hi all, I've just done a fresh install of PVE 9.0.6, and noticed that when I add macro rules to a guests firewall - such as the HTTP / HTTPS macros, I can't seem to locate any rule that is created in the nftables firewall. I'm checking with `nft list ruleset` - and the guest chain doesn't seem...

    [SOLVED] The backup (passkey) elligibility of this device has changed, meaning it must be re-enrolled for security validation

    I've noticed with the change to PVE9 and PBS4 betas that I've had a lot of problems with my passkeys giving the following error message: Aug 06 13:57:34 pbs proxmox-backup-api[26218]: Credential backup elligibility has changed!

    Add extra files to PBS backup

    Hi all, I've just gone through rebuilding my PMG server, and I'm trying to do things in a more cluster-friendly way - but there's some files that I add that I just can't get into /etc/pmg etc. Given I back up to Proxmox Backup Server from within PMG, is there a way to add a list of paths /...

    I've just set up the SMTP notifications on PVE - and the test email works fine. When the system itself starts to send notifcations via the SMTP path, the mail server replies with: <email@host.com: host mail.server[<mail server ip>] said: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first (in...

    Hi all, I have a two node cluster that started misbehaving a couple of days ago.... No matter what I did, I couldn't get things back up and happy again.

    [SOLVED] How to promptly kill a VM that will never be able to shutdown?

    Hi all, So I'm running a Cisco virtual appliance in a proxmox VM - and these things are not designed to shut down at all. There's no command to tell it to shutdown, nor is there any way to install an agent or have it use acpi etc. As such, telling a node to reboot will always hang on this VM...
