    PBS on device with ONLY a serial console (no video)

    I have an OPNsense DEC740 that I'm trying to install PBS onto (the manufacturer doesn't support anything other than OPNsense). This device uses a Ryzen V1500B embedded CPU and has no video output, only serial console via USB. The device shows up in Linux as Bus 001 Device 019: ID 04e2:1411 Exar...

    [SOLVED] Extremely slow backups (PVE, not PBS)

    PVE packages are below. I have the current backup settings configured in PVE. Note that I'm not using PBS, I'm backing up the entire VMs/LXCs. My Proxmox VMs live on 2x Intel SSD D3-S4510 960GB datacenter SSDs in a RAID1 mirror. The backup target is a Synology running 2x WD Red Pro 22TB...

    [SOLVED] ZFS pool DEGRADED - Disk not showing up? Is it dead?

    I'm running Proxmox on a DeskMini H470 with the following disk layout: 1x Samsung 970 PRO 512GB (for Proxmox installation) 2x Intel D3-S4510 960GB (for ZFS mirror - these are "enterprise" drives with less than 8000 power on hours) The other day, Proxmox was completely hung and I was unable to...

    Can I use my ZFS pool as data storage (in addition to VM storage)?

    I run Proxmox at home on an ASRock DeskMini, with the following storage: 1x 512GB NVMe SSD (Proxmox is installed here) 2x Intel D3-S4510 960GB SATA SSD (this is a ZFS mirror called intel_mirror where my VMs/LXCs reside) root@proxmox02:~# zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT...

    Tiny/Mini/Micro low-power hardware for PBS at home?

    I'm running Proxmox at home on a single server and currently have backups setup to dump to a NAS. This obviously takes up a lot of space, since each backup is full-size. I'd like to setup PBS on a separate piece of hardware. Ideally, it would be a Tiny/Mini/Micro box that is low-power. I only...

    Best to store VMs/CTs in zpool or in separate datasets?

    I have a single NVMe drive for Proxmox to boot from. I'm going to add 2x SATA enterprise SSDs to my host, create a ZFS mirror, then move my VMs/CTs to that mirror. Is there any benefit from having separate datasets for VMs and CTs (like below), or should I put everything on the pool itself...

    [SOLVED] ZFS newbie. Want to add 2x1TB drives (ZFS mirrored) to setup. Is it better to put VMs/CTs on zpool, or use pool for data?

    This is my first time using ZFS. Currently, I have a single NVMe drive for both local and local-lvm storage (my VMs/CTs and all of their data live here). I would like to add 2x1TB SSDs in a ZFS mirror. However, I'm torn about what to do with the extra storage: 1. Move my VMs/CTs and all of...

    [SOLVED] Install Proxmox to RAID1 USB boot drive

    I'm planning on purchasing an HP MicroServer Gen10 Plus to run Proxmox. It has 4x3.5" drives bays (2 will be for SSDs to run Proxmox, 2 will be for HDDs for bulk media/file storage). ------------------------------------------------ | | |...

    Does Proxmox allow you to change the zstd compression level?

    With Proxmox 6.2 and above, you support zstd for backups. Is there any way to change the compression level? I believe zstd offers levels 1-19 (default is 3).

    [SOLVED] Upgrading from No-Subscription Repository to Enterprise Repository

    Hi, I run Proxmox at home and was originally using the No-Subscription Repository. I just purchased a license key and added it in the web interface, as described here. What do I need to do to add the Enterprise Repository? Is it just as easy as switching out repo out and running apt update &&...
