Hi everyone, I have 2 proxmox servers that serve different funtions. One is my router and hosts essential services (e.g. homebridge) and one is for other services like plex. I would still like to create a cluster (to benefit from VM migration etc.) and have the essential one as main and the...

Hi everyone, I am running pfSense as a VM on proxmox on an AliExpress box and after a lot of stability issues, it seems like I have gotten this thing stabilized - 12 days and counting (knockonwood). Now I would like to add Pihole to the mix again. I had it set up as a container before I turned...

Hi everyone, I have rewritten the text based on the troubleshooting I have tried. I am at my wit's end here: Some weeks ago, I bought a pfsense box on AliExpress (4-core N5105, 8GB RAM and 250GB NVMe) and installed Proxmox on it. On the box I run two VMs: pfSense - runs excellent and no...

Hi, I have switched to pfSense and I am running it on proxmox. So far everything works reltively fine (except all my config user errors in pfsense). the VM had an internal error twice and this time I had a look at /var/log/syslog/ as recommended here in the forum. This is the relevant portion I...

Hi everyone, I installed proxmox (7.1-10) on a 250GB SSD and maybe as a beginner error, I did not extend local or local-lvm to be able to use the whole disk. I would like to use the remaining space (local is 16gb and local-lvm is 30gb) asl well for VMs, containers etc. Two questions: Which one...

Hi, My local storage that is used for the ISOs is shown as 80% full, although I deleted all ISOs. Before I deleted the files, I got an error message "storage is full" with every proxmox activity. I tried to upload a large image file twice today and it aborted twice? Are the remains of those...

Hi everyone, I am new to Proxmox and have a TrueNAS Core VM running as well as a docker container (based on Debian Turnkey). I am trying to mount a folder from TrueNAS into the docker container. I have tried NFS and CIFS. Always a permission error message. I read that this is not doable with an...

Hi everyone, I am new to proxmox. I got it installed and installed TrueNAS as well as a few containers for Docker. I have an on-board LSI 3008 SAS controller on my Asrock Rack EPC612D4U-8R board that I flashed into IT mode. I connected two SATA drives to it to test. Now, the "only" thing missing...
