    What's the experience with using Proxmox as host for development workstations?

    Yeah, but the important thing in my setup is that I would like to host EVERYTHING at one and the same laptop. :-)

    What's the experience with using Proxmox as host for development workstations?

    So no RDP or Spice or ... at all which could be responsible for latencies or slowness, correct? What about things like bluetooth headset or webcam? The headset should be pretty much like interaction with your Dragon dictate. Do you have some micro connected to the USB sound?

    What's the experience with using Proxmox as host for development workstations?

    Any further details to share?! :-) How about things like video cameras and bluetooth headsets for meetings, USB devices, which remote protocol are you using with which client etc.?

    What's the experience with using Proxmox as host for development workstations?

    Hi everyone, I'm hosting multiple different Linux and Windows VMs at some server using Proxmox with ZFS and stuff and REALLY like it. At my job I'm a mixture of software developer and sysadmin, need to maintain Windows-only software with Windows-only IDE+tools, but have some Windows and Linux...

    PVE GUI only listen to localhost not working

    I had the same problem because of a lack or permissions: It seems that pveproxy actually runs as www-data and therefore simply needs permissions to read the created file. After changing that, the web-UI listens on the configured IP as expected by using LISTEN_IP.

    Does the graphical installer support advanced ZFS setups for VDEVs and SPAREs?

    Hi everyone, I'm planning to setup a new server containing 8 HDDs, of which 2 will be used as SPARE and 6 to create 3 RAID1 VDEVs added to one and the same pool in the end. The graphical installer is able to create ZFS with different RAID levels and seems to detect based on the chosen level and...

    How to make file based pipes of the host available as serial devices to the guest using hot plugging?

    I host multiple different VMs running MySQL and Postgres databases and have a snapshots based backup of their data files in place already. That is, the host accesses the VMs using SSH, created snapshots of the contained file system, mounts those, mounts the while file system using SSHFS at the...

    How to rename image files after using "qm importdisk"?

    While it becomes a bot off-topic, what does "keeping" exactly mean? Persisting a suffix per VM or node or whatever wouldn't help me. I would really need to provide a suffix per created disk image and for each and every new one a different one as well. So that I can create an image being used for...

    How to rename image files after using "qm importdisk"?

    Good news. Any plans to make suffixes of image files available in the web-UI as well? I can't find something like that for storage type dir. Not sure if "[pve-devel] [PATCH v1 storage 1/9] storage: expose find_free_diskname" goes into that direction already.

    How to rename image files after using "qm importdisk"?

    Here is what seems to work for me: qm 'importdisk' "${vm_id}" "${img_src}" 'encr_zfs' '--format=qcow2' mv "${prefix_abs}-disk-0.qcow2" "${prefix_abs}-${img_dst}" qm 'set' "${vm_id}" --scsi0 "encr_zfs:${prefix_rel}-${img_dst}${PXMX_DISK_OPTS}" pvesh 'set'...

    How to rename image files after using "qm importdisk"?

    I'm migrating from VirtualBox to Proxmox and am creating the new VMs on the shell. Part of that is using "qm importdisk" to import available VMDK files as new QCOW2 ones. While that works in general, the result is a file like e.g. "encr_zfs:100/vm-100-disk-0.qcow2". While that is OK for only one...

    What's the preferred counterpart for "InternalNetwork" of VirtualBox?

    For the routing to work, each VM behind pfsense needs to have configured 192.168.5.1 as gateway on OS-level as well, correct? Or is there some additional "magic" on the level of the virtualized NICs? Additionally, what is 192.168.5.2 for? Only that Proxmox can communicate with the VMs directly...

    What's the preferred counterpart for "InternalNetwork" of VirtualBox?

    With a Linux bridge you mean that vmbrX thing which can be created in the Proxmox web-UI as well? vmbr1 in the attached screenshot? Didn't know that one doesn't need to bridge that to an actual NIC. I wonder why this isn't covered in the docs and what's the difference to VLAN is in the end...

    What's the preferred counterpart for "InternalNetwork" of VirtualBox?

    Hi all, I'm in the process of migrating from VirtualBox and phpVirtualBox to Proxmox and most of my VMs are simply bridged to the public uplink of the host. I'm planning to change that to a suggested routed configuration, as my new hoster will be Hetzner providing a /28 subnet, which will only...

    Migrating a Vm from Proxmox to Vmware

    If you have a properly converted VMDK, yes. Everything else depends on the guest OS, like if the necessary drivers for the devices provided by VMware are available, e.g. for storage, network etc. Those things can easily be tested on a copy of your VMDK, though.

    Migrating a Vm from Proxmox to Vmware

    While I most likely can't help too much, you should at least provide some more details, e.g. about the concrete setup of your existing VMs. Especially which image formats are used, because those might need to be converted, if you have VM-snapshots available and want to migrate them as well, how...

    Local LVM vs Local

    I had a similar question regarding a default ZFS-setup, which might contain additional context for your setup as well: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-to-properly-configure-encrypted-zfs-storage-only.91573 The important thing to understand is that Proxmox needs to store different types...

    How does one set up Proxmox to suspend on shutdown?

    I've additionally found an official bug addressing this issue. the problem in my opinion: It only provides a workaround for custom hibernation like suggested in this thread already, but doesn't address making that available to Proxmox's own mechanisms when shutting down etc. At would be good to...

    How does one set up Proxmox to suspend on shutdown?

    Did you ever find a solution or workaround? There's another thread mentioning the systemd file "pve-manager.service", which contains the following lines: [Service] Environment="PVE_LOG_ID=pve-guests" ExecStartPre=-/usr/share/pve-manager/helpers/pve-startall-delay ExecStart=/usr/bin/pvesh...

    How to properly configure encrypted ZFS storage only?

    That doesn't explain why Proxmox decided to not be able to store other contents in other datasets. They are creating additional subdirs in case of storage type "dir" already, I don't see a reason why not implementing that approach with datasets for storage of type "zfspool" as well. I don't...
