I have a small MSP company. I have several VMs, most of them on Vultr, a couple on AWS. It would be much more efficient for me to migrate these VMs to KVMs or LXC containers in Proxmox on a bare metal server. How common is it for users to install Proxmox VE on bare metal cloud servers? If I...

I'd interested in building a machine with lots of RAM, CPU cores, and multiple GPUs to host a few VMs. It would be 2 Windows VMs, and a Linux VM, each having their own GPU and USB controller. These would basically function as virtual workstations, and would support 2 users (both in physical...

I currently host a handful of VMs on TrueNAS SCALE. I'd like to move these to a Proxmox box. A couple of them will need between 1TB-3TB of data. How I do this currently is the boot drive is on a 3-way-mirrored NVME drive array, and I created iSCSI extents on a separate spinning rust array for...

I'd like to build a single box to serve as a file server and VM host for several VMs. I toyed with the idea of using TrueNAS SCALE, but it doesn't really seem like it's ready for prime time. I'm curious how to best manage the file server aspect of Proxmox, if I decided to use it for that. I'm...

I have Nextcloud inside a VM. I have a zfs dataset on a NAS that houses various software (isos, some php stuff I wrote, etc). I want to map that zfs dataset inside my Nextcloud VM, so users can access the software files from Nextcloud. I have regular backups of the entire Nextcloud VM, but I...

I have my install on a 2 136g spinning HDDs. I'd like to replace both of them with 120G ssds. When I use zfs replace rpool current-disk new-disk I get "cannot replace, device is too small. As I understand it, ZFS should accept a smaller disk provided there's sufficient space on the new disk...

I have a RAID Z-1 Pool with 3x240gb drives. Proxmox ZFS Tab shows me Size: 668 - Free: 370 - Allocated: 297 Under the pool's tab I see the various disk images totaling 312g of storage. However, usage shows that it's 98.85% full (< 5g remaining). What's going on here? Where is the remaining...

I currently have my Proxmox VE installed on 2x SAS 3.5" HDDs (using ZFS mirror). I have another array of 2x of the same HDDs that I use to store the VM themselves. Those HDDs are a couple years old now, and I am looking to upgrade. Is using something like cheap "consumer-grade SSDs" (I will...

I want to replace ZFS drives in a ZFS-Mirror Pool. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the drives, I just want to use bigger ones. When I do zpool status -v, I get disk names as listed below, instead of logical names like sdf (or what have you). Is this normal behavior? How do I replace...

I have a 20G Ubuntu VM that I have set up with LVM. Storage is from a ZFS Pool. My virtualmin dashboard that I installed on that VM is telling me I have used 4GB of 4.82GB drive space. Where did the other 16G of space go?

I have a ZFS-Mirror pool that I am using for storage to allocate the VMs. Under PVE > ZFS > I can see Free: 98GiB Allocated: 37GiB. I have a VM that has run out of storage. When I try to "re-size disk" I get zfs error: cannot set property for 'vmpool1/vm-101-disk-0': size is greater than...

Here's what I want: create a VM used for a VOIP server. Give that VM its own NIC and push all of its traffic exclusively through that NIC. I have a single (dynamic) IP from my ISP, so I will have to use NAT. On the router, I have a NIC set up as a DMZ that I want to use for the VOIP traffic...

I want to replace my 3CX PBX server (currently running on a bare metal server) with a Proxmox VM. The firewall rules are already configured, and I have verified they work. I simply altered the rules to point to the Proxmox VM I made, instead of the old server. I created the VM, however none of...

Motherboard with 4 on-board NICs. Proxmox has named them rename rename1 rename2 rename3 and rename4 (which is annoying, but not the topic of this post). Rename2 is bridged to vmbr0. I want to keep using that for management. I want to give a VM its own NIC. I created vmbr1 and added rename4 as...

Solution: The BIOS on my Supermicro X9LN4f+ motherbord was out of date by a version. Updating to BIOS version 3.3 fixed the problem, and now my interfaces are named appropriately (eno1/eno2 etc.). I have a Motherboard with 4 NICs. I want to create 2 separate VMs and give each of those VMs...

I want to put Windows 10 in a VM for some printer-specific software (that only runs on Windows). I have 5 printers, so I need to find a KVM compatible PCI USB Card. Can anybody recommend me a compatible USB card?

I need a setup to install my crm (SuiteCRM), PBX (3CX) and marketing system (Mautic). The CRM and Mautic are both on a ubuntu Digital Ocean VPS, and PBX (which runs on Debian) is installed on a Raspberry Pi 3 (it's supported, but I don't like that idea for obvious reasons). The VMS I would want...
