    Nested VMware Workstation 17.x Virtualisation Broken

    I'm sorry but this is a bit of a repeating theme... I recently tried to run VMware Workstation 17 inside a Debian 12 VM on Proxmox 8 and despite the VTx flag being recognised and another VM running an older version of VMware player working, this setup didn't use the acceleration offered by VTx...

    Proxmox Prividing Unneeded Config For Private DHCP Network

    Hi all, I'm new to proxmox (great system BTW :)). I've set this up for my home lab. All seems to be working fine and I have a working private NAT network that I've set up. In line with the instructions online I set up a dedicated container to provide DHCP, but this has also been configured...
