    [TUTORIAL] Migrating a Linux install into a Proxmox VE LXC container

    No you did not. The full text of your previous post was: "In my case, the file is actually in /mnt/pve/nfs. I changed directory to that and ran the command without the full path but got the same error. I should have mentioned that." No command and no error. If you had tried again with an...

    [TUTORIAL] Migrating a Linux install into a Proxmox VE LXC container

    I'm really not sure and I've not tried using `pct create` since so it usage may have changed but from simply having a quick look I suspect the problem part of your command is: local-lvm:/mnt/pve/nfs/leena.tar.gz You have used an absolute path to the tar file and maybe that isn't permitted...

    strange zfs list output

    Here's how my zfs list output looked yesterday: $ zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 17.1G 843G 104K /rpool rpool/ROOT 16.6G 843G 96K /rpool/ROOT rpool/ROOT/pve-1 16.6G 843G...

    Change default container path

    I'm having trouble accessing the proxmox GUI currently, I've been trying to access it via ssh portforwarding with no luck, not for 8006/HTTPS nor VNC. Is there a way to change this setting via the command line or is there a config file I can edit to change where new containers get created? Thanks

    LXC Specific Commands For University Machine Learning Work Manager Cluster

    Thanks for sharing your notes dosmage! I have now got MIG working under my test proxmox container and I'm sure it would've took me a lot longer to get it configured without. I would like to correct sargreal and the official NVIDIA docs because the above commands for installing...

    Cannot start container with network interface

    I have installed Proxmox 8. I can successfully create and start a container from the command line but only without a network interface. If I create a container with a network interface I get the error: missing command at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/CLI/pct.pm line 189. When I try to use `pct exec...

    Change default container path

    Proxmox defaults to creating new containers under /rpool/data. I would like to create a separate ZFS pool for my containers and VMs. How do I change the default path where new containers are created? Thanks

    [TUTORIAL] Migrating a Linux install into a Proxmox VE LXC container

    The proxmox wiki has this page covering various migration scenarios but at the time of writing it doesn't cover migrating a physical Linux box (or a LXC/LXD container) into a PVE (LXC) container. I have opened a ticket requesting they update that page with instructions such as these, which I am...

    Migrating 2008R2

    Yesterday I successfully imaged a physical 2008 install and got it booting under PVE but I had to use sysprep to get it to work. A friend of mine swears he has successfully imaged windows 7 from one machine to another using just clonezilla but I tried doing the same with 2008 yesterday with no...

    Migrating 2008R2

    I should note a couple of things: 1 - I've never tried imaging 2008 before so I'm unsure if my technique would've worked on a physical machine. I have however successfully imaged Win7 from one physical machine to another with this technique but in order for w7 to boot correctly I had to run the...

    Migrating 2008R2

    Hi PVE users and devs! I installed PVE 2.1 this morning and I'm impressed so far but I have a few questions before I'll be up and running properly: First, I've read that using raw VM disk images are slightly faster than qcow2 but what is the optimal cache setting for best disk IO performance -...
