    PBS on a non-dedicated LAN workstation

    AHA! Awesome - that was what I was hoping for, but all I could find were the ISO based install links. This is great - I will try it out over the weekend (so I have enough time to experiment and dabble with less distraction than usual). Much obliged for all the inputs

    PBS on a non-dedicated LAN workstation

    I have a PVE system and a TrueNAS each on dedicated hardware. I don't have a 3rd machine that I can dedicate as a PBS, but my own workstation has some decent capacity (24core, 128GB RAM, raidz2...running trixie). I currently use rsync and file copying of snapshots and manually run backups - from...

    Backup+upgrade - confirmation for novice

    Thank you again @Dunuin - my system is now running on pve8.1 without a hitch. Previous ZFS containing VM/LXCs loaded without a problem using a zpool import. I still have to do the move of the VM/LXCs to the new SSD z10, but that is minor, and the rest is perfect.

    Backup+upgrade - confirmation for novice

    One day, when I am big, I will understand this properly, but for now I will just say... OK, thanks brilliant! This last part is what I wanted to confirm - awesome and thank you

    Backup+upgrade - confirmation for novice

    The boot SSDs are unfortunately smaller(480 vs 900), but a fresh install feels like a good idea. I have done minimal pve/cli pieces, but whatever I did I have scripted and can recreate No problem to shut these down and then do backups/snapshots so they are fresh/current Thanks - it is just an...

    Backup+upgrade - confirmation for novice

    I have a running PVE7.4 on a Dell R820 which boots & runs via a mirrored pair of 10k SAS drives on HBA(IT mode). rpool/ROOT/pve-1 on / type zfs (rw,relatime,xattr,noacl) I have a few LXC's & VM's which are on a PCIe+NVMe RaidZ1 (3+1) array. (/z1n/CTs /z1n/VMs /z1n/subvol-2001-disk-0 etc) z1n...

    ProxMox[TrueNAS(VM) + JellyFin(VM/LXC)] or [TrueNAS+JF plugin]

    For 1 & 2 I was implying a baremetal TN/OMV instead of PVE - but I am really enjoying proxmox so would prefer to stay with it if possible

    ProxMox[TrueNAS(VM) + JellyFin(VM/LXC)] or [TrueNAS+JF plugin]

    I have a JellyFin LXC which accesses shared storage (from the proxmox node) which works for my needs. I am planning to add a "new" (refurb) machine with much more storage - 1 HBA [with 12 drives (for ZFS vdevs) + 2 SSDs (for boot/OS)]. I will configure the SSDs as a mirrored boot/OS pair, and...

    Cannot install VMs on VirtualBox

    Are you installing a VM into your proxmox(hypervisor), which is already inside a hypervisor(VBox)? I am no expert, and this is not a criticism, but am curious as to why - especially on top of "stable" w11?

    Does work, but better to use PKI keys for root login

    How to replace HDD in ZFS raidz2

    Based on the article I found here... I created a script as below...which worked for me. I am a novice though, so cannot offer any guarantees #!/bin/bash poolName="NAS-Local"; replacementDevID="/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD30EZRX-00MMMB0_WD-WCAWZ1948935"; zpool status "${poolName}" | grep -i...

    Having multiple IPs per server

    Quick & dirty solution would be to install pihole into an LXC/Container. Easy to use - has a web based GUI that makes life easy if you are not comfortable with CLI

    [SOLVED] damaged rpool - data "recovery"

    I had ProxMox 7.3 running on a Dell R820 as a mirror (rpool). The rpool status is "clean", but... after several power outages (South Africa has "load-shedding" which makes for interesting times) my server wouldn't boot. I managed to rescue boot it and all seemed well...but obviously wasn't. It...

    Hardware selection advice - blade/node-server cluster

    Thank you again for the update - very little can beat experience when making decisions like these. I run the set up from home, which will be less than ideal to say the least The system is quite specific, so if any additional cards became necessary, we'd put that functionality into a different...

    Hardware selection advice - blade/node-server cluster

    Thank you for the info and ideas. Do you mind if I ask which devices you have used and where they gave hassles? Primarily, our tests show that the ocr requires cores, so I'd like to get an 8+ socket machine for this, and depending on $/CPU, will put in the highest #cores that is affordable. eg...

    Hardware selection advice - blade/node-server cluster

    I am a newbie to proxmox - have been playing for a few months on an e-bay refurb Dell R820 (details in profile if useful) on a 1GB LAN(@home) which is connected to a remote site2site VPN on 100MBit FTTH. Although I have set up many PC-level machines, I am new to enterprise gear, so I'd like to...
