Really no recommendations here? :confused:

Hello, my PVE uses the PBS for storing the backups. To limit the diskspace consumption of my automatically created VM/LXC backups, I would like to delete them after some time using some kind of retention policy. To configure this I could use the Backup Job Retention settings in PVE or a Prune...

Any further hardware recommendations from other users? I cannot believe that ASRock Rack with an X570 and Ryzen or the Supermicro X13SAE-F with an Intel i5-13600T are the only recommendations.

I think the 570 chipset is more power hungry than the 470. Oh, I was not aware that the newer Core i5 are capable of ECC memory. Beside the X13SAE-F there is also the X13SAZ-F (R680E chipset) which fits better in server chassis (the RAM is better located in the air flow). Has someone here...

Hello, at the moment I am thinking about shifting my Proxmox VE to a new server. First some information about my system running at the moment: Mainboard: GA-MA69G-S3H CPU: Intel Core i5-4690S (old CPU model from the year 2014) The system runs with 7 VMs and 4 LXCs at around 40% CPU load. The...

Hello, my current system runs PVE with 7 VMs and 4 LXCs on a Intel Core i5-4690S @ 3.2 GHz with a CPU load of around 40% over all 4 cores. I am planning a new system which shall be a bit faster but also consuming less power. The system shall have ECC RAM and my preferred CPU would be a Xeon or...

If possible for vmbr.

Do you have any hints on how to configure it on Proxmox VE?

Hello, I read a lot about the network configuration and VLANs in Proxmox VE, but there is still one point I don't understand. Is it possible to receive a VLAN Trunk on one hardware NIC with Proxmox VE and split the VLANs to different Virtual Bridges where each Bridge acts as an Access Ports for...

Would you go with LVM or LVM-Thin inside the virtual disk or is there a better option for the VMs?

Hi, currently I am running PVE nested inside Hyper-V on a Win10 Pro machine. I know this is not perfect, but at the moment I have no option to run a bare-metal machine and have to use the Win10 machine :(. What is the preferred configuration of the PVE storage in this case? Shall I add a...

My intention is to run a mailserver on my local server for private mails. My network is only connected via a dynamic IP address to the Internet, so running a "real" mailserver is difficult or almost impossible. Because of this reason the plan is to collect mails from "real" mail accounts at mail...

Multiple external accounts (GMX, WEB.de, etc.) shall be collected and it would be nice if mails would "immediately" be seen by PMG instead of waiting for the next polling cycle. Is there any better approach for "immediately" getting mails from external mail accounts?

Is really noone here with any experience on this?

Hello, is it possible to use IMAP IDLE with the fetchmail implementation in PMG? At least I found nothing in https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/chapter-pmgconfig.html#pmgconfig_fetchmail. In case it will be possible, could PMG run multiple instances of fetchmail to use IMAP IDLE for 2-3 accounts...

Hello, if a PVE VM shall be connected to multiple subnets, is it preferred to add multiple network interfaces to the VM and letting PVE handle the VLAN filtering or would it be better to simply give a single network interface to the VM and forwarding a whole trunk to the VM? For me, the...

Hi, I have a verify job on my Proxmox Backup Server which sends me an "Verify Datastore 'xxxx' successful" E-Mail after each run. Is it somehow possible to configure the verify job, that this mail is only send on failure? Thanks, Thomas

Thanks for your clarification. However, what I still don't understand is, why I see some jobs in "/etc/crontab" which are not shown when running "crontab -e".

Hi, what is the correct way to edit cron jobs on the Proxmox host? In the file "/etc/crontab" I can see some default content: root@pve:~# cat /etc/crontab # /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab # Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab' # command to install the new version...

Hello, is there a possibility when running a cron job to only send the E-Mail at the end if the cron job has failed? I'm thinking of a feature, that depending on the return value of the executed command/script the E-Mail is generated or not. Thanks a lot in advance, Thomas
