    LXC container's disks persistence

    thx @Dunuin I was afraid someone would say that. But while we're at it... How would I do it right next time? Again, in my logic, the disk/volume lives on its own and must not die only because it happened to be connected to a VM/CT that got removed. I thought that was the whole meaning of...

    Feature Request: advanced restore options in GUI

    Well, since I just unintentionally wiped/re-created virtual disks for a VM that I restored and lost valuable data this way, I must obviously vote this future request up!

    LXC container's disks persistence

    Hi, first of all, thanks for providing such an amazing piece of software for free. I really enjoy running Proxmox in my homelab and would certainly chose it over TrueNas, OMV again! Now, there is one issue that I am worried about: Last night I had to restore an LXC container from backup...

    [SOLVED] LXC container service only up after 5 minutes

    After chewing on this for a moment, it dawned on me... I had IPv4 set to static BUT since I don't use IPv6 around here and I found now way to disable v6 for VMs/CTs, I just set it to DHCP. My DHCP however apparently does not hand out IPv6 addresses. So I could ping/ssh via IPv4 and eth0 was up...

    [SOLVED] LXC container service only up after 5 minutes

    Hi, thanks for the hint. Indeed your recommended log revealed something - even though I don't see how that makes sense. journalctl -f shows: Sep 09 15:13:02 ct-webmin systemd[1]: networking.service: start operation timed out. Terminating. Sep 09 15:13:02 ct-webmin systemd[1]...

    [SOLVED] LXC container service only up after 5 minutes

    Hi, I am witnessing an issue with LXC containers in PE 7.2 with different containers, based on different templates (Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04) and now even different nodes. When I set up a container and install Docker with Portainer or AdGuard (which then would be the only service for the...

    [SOLVED] Good Practice for Disks Setup

    Thanks @Dunuin that is also some really helpful advice! Sure. I'd use a regular 128GB SSD with a SATA-USB3-adapter for that. Oh, I didn't know of that. That's a great advantage. ✅ Unfortunately, with the planned setup I wouldn't find room for 3 SSDs on the same controller. But ZFS...

    [SOLVED] Good Practice for Disks Setup

    Thanks @LnxBil for your consideration! Well, if I were to mirror the two partitions, it would be limited to 1000GB minus whatever GB I snip off for the Proxmox boot partition, anyways. So I figured let's bring it to some good use. What to do with +/-20GB anyways? I'd rather keep the boot...

    [SOLVED] Good Practice for Disks Setup

    Hi, in my 2nd attempt to switch over to Proxmox from OMV, I want to move away from an ancient Dell Server with Xeon X3440 that is great for disk storage capacity but terrible on power consumption, noise and thermal exhaust. Therefore, I want to downsize my homelab server to an unused MacMini...

    Good Practice for Home Server

    thank you, Dunuin! You put a lot of work into that and it's appreciated! => OK, been pushing the ZFS pool inside VM with dedicated 14 GB RAM today in and out but in never climbed beyond 5-6 GB RAM used. OF course, the more the merrier but unfortunately the server would not take more than 16 GB...

    Good Practice for Home Server

    Thank you. Indeed, the server has only 1 CPU with 4 cores. I just copy-pasted what PVE summary publishes about the node. I guess it's not a big deal, so I would probably not try and force PVE to correct that. The SAS card is "upgraded" to LSI 8211-i8 in IT mode with FW P20 but thanks for the...

    Good Practice for Home Server

    Hi, I'm fairly new to Proxmox and Linux, so please excuse my noobiness. Objective Trying to move away from a MacMini hosting SMB shares (the crooked Apple way), TimeMachines and running some Debian/Windows VMs via Virtualbox for Homelab stuff. Moving towards a "real" (home) server with Debian...
