    cloud-init + windows + admin passwords?

    Hello, As per the subject, has anything changed in this regard? Last I checked the cloud-init password feature could not be used for Windows guests as it had to be in clear text. Is there any sort of work to enable the use of clear passwords? Regards, Lucian

    Hello, Is there anyway to interact with the PVE firewall, something like the "qm" utility perhaps? I need to be able to script setting it up, but it can't be a manual procedure.

    Replication with QCOW2 files

    Hello, Are there any plans to support VM replication where QCOW2 files are used? The reliance of this feature on ZFS-only storage makes things quite complicated and hacky for us. Is there anything we users can do etc? Regards

    Unattended Proxmox installation

    Hello, I need to find a way to install Proxmox automatically and I found the wiki page where it's said to install Debian Stretch first, then install promox on top of that. I am happy to proceed that way, but I was wondering.. how OK is this procedure? Are developers happy with it for a...

    Proxmox dmi product uuid

    Hello, I'm trying to establish in a script whether the VM runs on top of Proxmox KVM. I'm looking at /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid to be more specific. Will that value be always Proxmox specific and how can I determine that? Regards, Lucian

    Basic IO benchmarks between zfs/lvm-thin/qcow2

    Just ran these the other week, thought I'd share. I'll try to do some more proper ones on Linux, but before that happens here's some CrystalDiskMark ones on Windows 2019 (virtio-scsi). The underlying storage is a single Samsung 850 PRO SSD. I was pleasantly surprised by the QCOW2 performance...

    What kind of metadata will cloud-init use?

    Hello, First of all, any ETA on cloud-init? It's very important to us as it simplifies deployment hugely. I understand there might be support in a "testing" branch. How could I play with that, any docs? Second, will Proxmox use configdrive for metadata? Thank you
