I'm an avid F-droid fan, but I've a few colleagues and friends who won't trust any 3rd party store or apk and will only trust Google Play. :rolleyes:

I still wake in cold sweats of the nightmare of potential single point of failure of vCenter. Sure you can have active, passive VM roles and restore from backup but there were too many things to go wrong. It was grand if you didn't do much - certainly those who had the most positive experiences...

This isn't what you asked for but depending on what you're doing - Monit instances with M/Monit might be a useful way to keep track of systems spread across multiple nodes/clusters/VMs/lxc. Whilst Monit is free and open source, M/Monit for managing multiple instances is commercial, but it is...

We'll probably use Faucet or something open/free. Lack of commercial vendors isn't something that phases us. Our needs with openflow somewhat niche and involved in Education and we're more "build" than "buy" - so I probably shouldn't have lead with OpenFlow, probably more significant for us that...

OpenFlow support for SDN is a significant one. Connecting to LACP bonds to utilise all the available bandwidth of multiple channels (better hashing options basically). Tunneling and Encapsulation with VXLAN, QoS capabilities, more advanced security ACLs and security groups. Also I think...

We have been using a mixture of traditional Linux bridges as well as OpenVSwitch. Looking at the roadmap, I can understand a desire for stability but OpenVswitch is now well established, it's even available in the GUI now (and usable once apt install openvswitch-switch). It's also "under the...

Just to finish this off - the solution was looking me in the face and I just didn't spot it. The network config as per above post is fine on the proxmox layer, you still need the vlans broken out for the host. Particularly one for managenent of proxmox itself. But the simple solution is not to...

I have Proxmox 7.4-4 on baremetal server - it is fed with a trunk which I have working tagged on vmbr0. Within proxmox I have an ESXi guest VM to which I wish to provide the raw trunk vmbr0. I've successfully got it working by creating entries in my config eg: auto vmbr0.172 iface vmbr0.172...

A friend starting into using Proxmox asked me a question today which I didn't offhand know the answer to and couldn't find a definitive answer on here. How do you know the LXC templates are trustworthy? LXC containers (as in the templates pulled down from pveam), I'm guessing they're pulled...

I have in the past lost network connection doing an full upgrade. Having had to clean up the resulting apt mess, I now always run upgrades (of any sort on any Linux) via GNU Screen or tmux. That way if I lose connection I can reconnect over ssh and re-attach my previous session. An alternative...

I'm finding this tricky too - the documentation doesn't seem to be correct for the current (7.1) version of Proxmox: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/YubiKey#Securing_a_realm_with_Yubico_Two-Factor_Authentication The instructions do not lead you to a menu that has those options. It looks like the...

I've just encountered a similar issue, I had a USB drive (completely blank). I created it via the GUI and added it as a backup drive. It took a full backup of a VM last night and then this morning randomly "unmounted". I think manually creating the mount in /etc/fstab using UUID (lsblk and...

Just to update this, as I don't think the full process is very clear and hopefully the Wiki can be tidied up: First you need to install the guest agent. This is available in an ISO from Fedora. This in itself is a shade obscure - starting: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_VirtIO_Drivers...
