    Proxmox Partial HA Setup Query

    Hey how’s it going all, I’m doing a bit of experimenting and wondering if it’s possible to have several Proxmox nodes each with their own local storage, and the VMs on that storage mirrored/synced onto a shared store; then HA setup so if any Proxmox node goes down, the VM is read/run/hosted...

    Cloud-Init LUKS VM Setup?

    Hello all, I have seen an understand the benefits of setting up a base image/template with Cloud-Init, so similar VMs can very easily be setup when needed. My question is... can these Cloud-Init template/images can be setup with LUKS encryption without losing any features? Will it still be able...

    Shared Storage on a Gigabyte Home Network

    Hello all, I have been thinking of setting up Shared Storage for 3 Proxmox nodes. This will mean 4 systems (NAS, pve1, pve2, pve3). The NAS (for lack of a better name) will share to the 3 nodes using NFS or SMB and will hold all the VMs and CTs only; it will not be used as a multimedia server...

    Moving VMs Between Different Hosts

    Hey all, I normally use the host CPU option when setting up VMs (for best performance). This has worked great for me so far. I have recently setup another host server and set them up in a cluster. The new host has different hardware to the previous servers, so now I have Intel and AMD...

    A Question about Installing on Weak Hardware (PVE and PBS)

    Hey all, Quick question. I am thinking about setting up a secondary server for backup and testing and have been looking at some cheap NUCs to mess around with. I was wondering if a modern Celeron/Pentium would be fine for this and work well with PVE and PBS? They seem to be within the...

    Proxmox 7 with Kernel 5.4 - Possible?

    I have been experiencing a few performance and stability issues with the latest kernels and find that, for now at least, the older 5.4x kernels work a lot better with my hardware. I recently updated to the latest 5.15x kernel and while doing this I also checked to see what others are available...

    A Question about Partitions...

    What is the point of partitioning a disk with a single (full disk) partition? I see most guides include this step but never a reason why. Partitions have always been about separation (or so I thought), but there is nothing to separate if using the full disk as a single volume. Why have /dev/sdc1...

    Shutdown Issue - Could not detach DM (Proxmox 7.1)

    Hello all, When trying to shutdown I receive the following error message: I think this may have something to do with systemd not being able to unmount / or at least that was all I could find from googling the error. Also Loading initial ramdisk ... seems to take a while longer than expected...

    A Question About Restoration (Proxmox 7)

    Hello all, A (hopefully) quick question here… If I have Proxmox setup with my VMs on a separate SSD, and things go wrong to the point of having to reinstall, would reading the VMs be as easy as selecting them from the SSD? Thanks

    Linux VLAN and Unmanaged Switch Question

    Is a Managed switch needed to use the VLAN feature in Proxmox? Is there a significant benefit to having a VLAN for VMs and Containers (including Docker, Turnkey) on a home network with more than a dozen devices?

    Proxmox Secure Communications Configuration

    This may end up being quite a loaded question but… What would be the best/easiest way to setup SSL/secure communication for the WHOLE server including all VMs and Containers? Is it possible to have local/LAN access ONLY, with remote access only available via a VPN/tunnel? Would it be possible...

    Proxmox Encryption Configuration Question

    Hey all, this may be a silly or obvious question but I’m fairly new around here (relatively speaking) so here goes… I am looking to have my HDDs encrypted so that all data cannot be easily accessed if the drives are pulled out of my server. I have the following configuration: |Server |-HDD1...

    Expanded View when signing into Web Interface?

    Not a question about anything being broken, but is it possible for all Nodes and VMs to appear in expanded view when signed into the web interface, rather than having to click the arrow each time?

    I have a nested instance of Proxmox in a Cluster with its host (Proxmox-in-Proxmox, for testing/management only, not for HA or anything else). I obviously know this is not a recommended setup but I am just playing around with it and testing different types of setups and OSes. I have noticed...

Is this not recommended? Why? What will I lose? Are the Backup Server features all included...
