    LXC MergerFS, SnapRaid

    This seemed to have died out, but I thought I would see if anyone might answer this question. I have a 4 bay USB connected drive enclosure. Proxmox sees all of the drives and play nicely. I decided to fire up Turnkey File Server and I did a bindmount to the drives attached to PVE server. I am...

    VM network problems

    Because at the work site, openvswitch is the daily driver. I have virtualized pfSense singing nicely on Proxmox 6, but there is some disconnect with the other VM/containers. I found out that I missed a option in pfSense that was causing all of this issue with the other VM/containers. As soon as...

    VM network problems

    I am running openvswitch on my Proxmox 6.1 server. I installed pfSense as a VM and for the most part it running well. Recently, I tried to install as a VM, OpenMediaVault, which seemed to have problems when it tried to connect repository mirrors. I assumed that there might have been a problem...

    pfSense and access to the PVE web interface

    I am two steps away from everything working. After getting a better understanding of openvswitch, I finally have pfSense nearly working with traffic moving between VLANs and other things as well. The one issue that I can seem to solve is accessing the PVE management interface. Initially, I set...

    Linux bridge and ovs

    Using a network setup, I created a linux bridge (vmbr0) and an ovs bridge (vmbr1). The reason for this was that I have my laptop eth0 plugged directly to my DSL gateway (which is my vmbr0) and I have an additional interface plugged in which has be setup using ovs (which is for pfsense.). Using...

    pfSense setup

    I am not looking forward to port forwarding, so could you clarify what do you mean using the interface directly? I give the host the IP address of 192.168.200.250. After installing openvswitch, the first VM that I spin up will be pfSense, and the WAN interface will connect to my VLAN02, and the...

    pfSense setup

    I opted to use openvswitch because it seems to play nicely with my VM and containers. Most of my traffic will be local, so no need to go upstream to the next switch when I can keep everything local with VMs and containers dealing with ovs. I must have missed something, because I see that you...

    pfSense setup

    Thanks for the response. I have re-installed Proxmox 6.1 and again, I have run into a problem. As you can see in the network diagram that I have attached (this time as an actual graphic as opposed to drawn), the only components are the DSL gateway, a Cisco switch, a WAP, and a single port...

    Pointers on installing PM 6.1 and working with OVS

    I couple of days ago, my pfSense box died, which didn't really bother me since I was planning to move pfSense to PM. First off I am working with a single interface since i running on a laptop. At this point, I have my **Arris ATT DSL Gateway**, a ** Cisco SG-300** 10 port switch, a **GL.iNet**...

    Switching to OVS

    Would that be the same link that I attached to my initial posting?

    Switching to OVS

    This morning I decided to make the jump to ovs. I am at the point of applying my changes, but I wanted to do check a couple of things. After I installed *openvswitch*, I noticed that the openvswitch.service was disabled. I decided to not enable or start the service until I was sure that it would...

    pfSense Virtualized

    Since we are on the topic of pfsense, I do have a question about the initial set up of the image. I was looking at some youtube video on setting up pfsense under proxmox. When he got to the section on choosing the CPU, he did the default kvm64 type, and then used 1 Socket, 1 Core and 6 vcpu. I...

    Using proxmox and a Desktop enviroment

    Linux is my daily driver, so I would actually be doing Ubuntu or Centos as the desktop side. Occasionally, I need to do either Windows 7 or 10 as a front facing desktop. For the most part, I would just let PM run unmolested, but I do want the ability to show a desktop off of a VM.

    Using proxmox and a Desktop enviroment

    With a little googling, I have come to realize that I can do this with Spice. Now that leads to another question. Say that my son uses Linux on his desktop. For some reason, he needs to do some work on Microsoft Office. The question becomes, how can I setup up that my son can connect to the...

    Installation on a Mac Pro

    That used to the way that I would originally deal with docker. I would spin Ubuntu, and then install docker-ce and create containers. Then I read about using docker natively, and that has been my go to way of dealing with docker. Especially when I wanted to create a container (it does not matter...

    Using proxmox and a Desktop enviroment

    I am sure that the posting question is a little confusing. I recently picked up a Thinkpad T420 laptop, and I added a M.2 ssd, two 1TB ssd drives, 16G RAM and a quad core i7 processor for my daily driver work laptop. For grins and giggles, I thought I would install Proxmox so I could get the...

    Installation on a Mac Pro

    I got my hands on a Mac Pro 2012 with two 6 core Xeons. The Mac has a 500GB SSD and three 6TB drives. When I have installed Proxmox previous, I also would install docker and zfs as well. How does setup my data drives to allow both LVM-Thin and docker storage to co-exist or should I just create...

    pfSense setup

    I have been doing my due diligence in trying to make the move from a hardware to software designed network. I am currently trying to decide if I can work with what I have currently running and make the appropriate changes or should I just blow everything away and start from scratch. Currently...

    linux bridge vs ovs Bridge

    So would I still have to create entries in /etc/network/interface file? For instance, I am pretty clear that I need to create an interface for pfsense VMBR1 [WAN] VMBR2 [LAN] and VMBR3 [OPT]), so I would create that in /etc/network/interface. Now under pfSense, I create VLAN 5, 10, 20 30 40, etc...
