Hi all, I think it could be useful to have a simple filed in Proxmox ui were to add simple notes about the guest. A note could be: "This guest has backup disabled because it's content doesn't change" or "This template has an account names john". and so on. I'm wondering a bit about roles but...

Hi all, from what I understand cloud-init is used to initialize a guest. Do we need to have cloud-init package installed also on the host? Right now I'm running an old proxmox version: 5.2-1 and when I restart the host I get lot's of these errors: Mar 28 12:49:36 pve-01 cloud-init[1437]...

Hi all, I'm reading the documnetation: The first cluster node, may contain vm? Becaue it's the only node, there's no risk of id conflicts. I wonder if 'pvecm create' may destroy existing guests. Thank you.

This is the first time I see something like that in proxmox: This is a freshly installed proxmox where I'm installing ubuntu 16.04 as guest. I notice that the ubuntu installation process is hanged. The guest icon is shown as the guest was off. You may also notice form tha task log that I...

Hi all, I have a strange behaviour of a windows 2016 guest. It has warehouse managment software and some simple queries, take 4-5 minutes. The guest is hosted on a zfs pool named 'storage' on top of ssd disks. To diagnose the problem, I moved the disk on a nfs storage (on top of ext4 rotating...

In my last post I've been testing the capability of qcow2 to shrink when data gets removed from the guest. As discussed before, the guest need to have use 'SCSI' as Bus/Scsi (virtio-scsi) and the 'dicard' option checked. Reading qm_virtual_machines_settings documentation page I see So I tried...
