    What is the method to utilize efficient ZFS daily snapshots to keep a backup of containers and vms?

    I would like to keep ZFS-based backups / snapshots in daily (1 month weekly), weekly (5 weeks), and monthly (6 months) intervals on servers so as to be able to readily rollback if need arises. How is this accomplished in an automated fashion so as to both accomplish this and purge older...

    [SOLVED] Sanity check: please share /etc/apt/sources.list so I can double check something

    I'm having some odd messages (warning) about my security entry not being configured correctly under the updates → repository tab within Proxmox's web admin. Could someone please share their correct and proper /etc/apt/sources.list contents so I can do a sanity check here for a non-paid version...

    How to maintain buffers between LXC consoles and primary console's instance switches?

    It has been problematic for quite some time with the default function of LXCs where when you change to another LXC and then back, you lose your terminal/console history. Is there a method available to retain this outside of opening the console in its own window? Organizationally, when working...

    Best resolution configurability AND performance options for Windows 10+ guests?

    Is there a guide to getting the "best" graphical performance along with highly customizable resolutions from a non-passthrough virtual machine guest of Windows 10 and higher in Proxmox? It seems like the gist is to install the SPICE latest drivers from...

    [SOLVED] How do you map or pass through a USB HASP security key dongle to a Windows Server guest vm?

    I need to pass a USB HASP security key through to a Windows Server guest virtual machine in Proxmox and I'm not clear on how this can be done so that the USB is always mapped to this particular guest system. Could someone please share some explicit instructions in this regard?

    [SOLVED] How to clone a 2x500gb drives ZFS mirror zpool to a larger 2x1tb drives mirror?

    I have a situation where things got out of control on a standalone PVE system with a 500gb SSD as ZFS storage. I need to somehow pull the drive and clone it to a larger 1tb drive for the time being as a stopgap measure in a time critical situation. How can this be done so that the size is scaled...

    Docker demand heating up more and more

    I think the Proxmox developers need to take another hard cold look at the need to facilitate Docker within Proxmox. I love LXC, but we're seeing a LOT more activity and demand for Docker. Heck, it would be great to be able to, for example, use Docker Desktop and with an Extension or even the...

    Linux 6 - io_uring improvements: What's the deal and ramifications for Proxmox?

    There's a lot of talk and excitement around Linux kernel 6.0 release. It seems there is a high belief that io_uring has been improved to a degree that there will be a lot of performance improvements all over the place. What are the implications of this for Proxmox and what kind of integration...

    Flags to turn off Hyper-V IPI & TLB flush enlightenment?

    I've been having trouble with BSODs in Windows 10 virtual machines that are apparently, according to VirtIO driver developers where they've seen an ENORMOUS number of such crashes, due to needing to disable Hyper-V IPI and TLB flush enlightenment. There are, it appears, flags that can disable...

    [SOLVED] LXC Snapshot Details?

    From my wiki reading (perhaps missed details and thus my confusion) some things aren't entirely clear so I wanted to hopefully get some more details here. I have an LXC guest on Proxmox 7.2 with ZFS compression enabled: zfs set compress=zstd rpool/data/subvol-211-disk-0 The volume is currently...

    [SOLVED] Autoreboot of guests and/or PVE server itself?

    I have a situation where I need to reboot three guests daily. I would be fine with restarting Proxmox itself, but would prefer to have an automated mechanism for restarting the guest servers easily. Is there a function that already accomplishes this or is this a feature that Proxmox developers...

    Suspend (save) guest state instead of shutdown/reboot and restore on reboot?

    I have a situation where it would be very helpful to suspend or save guest virtual machine (and even LXC (if possible) guest) states instead of shutting down the guest operating system and then starting it back up on PVE reboot. Is this currently possible? KVM/QEMU appear to have this...

    How to run an LXC container thru SOCKS5 instead of regular networking?

    I have a scenario where I need to have an LXC container operate with a network connection through a local SOCKS5 server on our network. Is there a simple or clean way to do this?

When I reboot the system I receive some errors and when I attempt to type in a username to login, it goes a bit bonkers as...

    How to import EFI disk from an exported hyper-v vm?

    I was able to import a hyper-v image with a simple qm importdisk 102 OldServerName.vhdx local-zfs, but I have not been able to figure out how to import an EFI disk yet. I think it is in the exported path of ~/OldServerName/Virtual Machines/<UUID>.vmgs that was created by the hyper-v exportation...

    Is this the optimal way to run Docker on Proxmox?

    Found a curious blog post about using Docker on Proxmox: https://joshspicer.com/docker-proxmox It seems Rancher has some Proxmox integration functionality that seems interesting. I thought Photon (OS) from Vmware might be the optimal solution before this..... What do you good folks think?
