    Join cluster with ssh keys

    Is it possible to create / join a cluster using an ssh key instead of a password? I would like to turn off password auth for the root user but when trying to join a cluster over the webgui it requires to fill in the root password.

    Using OpenVSwitch + LACP Bonds on a 3 Node Cluster

    Hello! So we're planning to migrate our vCenter cluster over to Proxmox, and right now we've got a test cluster setup using hardware that's pretty close to what we intend to order. We'd like to use SDN on our new Proxmox cluster, and based on everything I've read in the docs for Proxmox...

    Migrate to a new cluster

    Hi all, We are currently running an outdated PVE cluster (version 6.4) consisting of 5 nodes. All VMs and containers are using an external NFS share for both disk storage and backups, mounted at /mnt/pve/NFS. We’ve recently acquired 2 new nodes, and instead of adding them to the existing...

    [SOLVED] Cluster of 3 nodes with status unknown only if 2 specific nodes are online

    Hello :) Since 24h I'v been banging my head on a problem that appeared by itself yesterday around 12pm according to the logs. Since yesterday, I can't get my cluster to work properly: I have 3 nodes A, B, C. If I turn on nodes A and B or B and C, everything works fine. As soon as I turn on A and...

    Proxmox-Cluster mit 2 Knoten, Probleme bei Niedergang eines Knotens

    Homelab-Umgebung. Ich habe ein Proxmox-Cluster mit 2 Proxmox-Servern aufgezogen, kein dritter Quorum-Client mit dazugehängt. Das Cluster war recht einfach einzurichten: cluster/pm1 (alle Vserver zuerst hier) cluster/pm2 (noch kein Vserver hier) Danach habe ich alle Vserver von pm1 nach pm2...

    HELP. I deleted the cluster.conf file (trying to remove the cluster) and I think my PVE node won't reboot correctly.

    Hi. Bonehead move #126 of the week. Problem: While playing around with joining clusters (using 2 different pve nodes on different IP), I decided to just 'unjoin' the cluster. It wasn't working right, so I deleted the cluster.conf file in the /etc/pve/ folder. When I did this on node #2 (a test...

    Pfsense DHCP Server and Relay Connectivity Issues

    I am having an issue getting a pfsense DHCP relay to work across my proxmox cluster. My network is as follows: vmbr0 -> 192.168.12.0/24 - home internet (this is where my proxmox clusters are connected to vmbr1 -> 192.168.2.0/24 - virtual interface connected to a smart switch for VLAN 4...

    Anyone using MPTCP between proxmox cluster nodes in production and "forcing" MPTCP sockets on everything?

    I am curious about linux-kernel native TCP Multipath (not the proxmox iSCSI multipath-tools approach).Anyone here using MPTCP forcing all PVE nodes to open MPTCP sockets instead of TCP? Tentatively, my homelab with PVE cluster nodes with dual SFP+ 10gb uplinks on the same network could in...

    [SOLVED] Only run single node in cluster

    Hi, I have a two node cluster configured, home setup. I have a primary node with all the needed services running. The secondary node is actually empty at the moment and not really needed. I plan on building it up, maybe, and have it available to migrate things as needed. For the time being...

    Proxmox cluster health

    Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to Proxmox, and so far, I really like it. Today, I attempted to connect my two OVH servers to run as a cluster over the private NIC. Everything seemed to work fine until I started experiencing timeouts on the second server through the UI. After some troubleshooting, I...

    Certificate Sync between nodes?

    Hi All! Perhaps I am just missing something here but as a cluster do the smtp certificates not sync between nodes or should I be requesting certs for both nodes? ... or is there something else entirely? Thanks! Kris

    Architectural advice for a seflhosted setup with 3 mini PC and a NAS

    Hello, I'm a bit of a noob in the proxmox world, I've dived into it quite recently, I'm trying to wrap my head (and having a hard time with everything new) about the optimal architecture for my selfhosted home setup. My (foolish?) objective would be to have a proxmox cluster that would allow me...

    Migrating VM between two separate clusters

    Hello, I have a two-node cluster and am setting up a separate PVE datacenter. Since Cluster 1 serves different groups, I want to keep the new datacenter completely separate. I need to migrate a VM from Cluster 1 to the new datacenter. Is this possible? Initially, I considered adding the new...

    Migration from VMware to Proxmox: Reusing Hardware Proxmox-SAN

    What are the best storage configurations in Proxmox to access a SAN with multiple nodes while ensuring high performance, redundancy, and simultaneous access? How do options like ZFS over iSCSI, ZFS over NVMe/TCP, Ceph compare in terms of latency, scalability, and complexity? The goal is to...

    Hi all! I have a pve cluster and a cef storage of 3 nodes. On one node, both OSDs are in the down and out status. I need to replace this node with another node. I added a new node to the proxmox cluster, installed cef. Tell me what are my next steps? Do I need to delete the OSD on the node I...

    [SOLVED] Improving Cluster Management Over WAN with High Latency (No HA/common Storage)

    Hi, I have three PVE servers running at two separate locations, connected via VPN (two in Germany, one in the UK). They are set up as one cluster - mainly because of the common VM id number space and occasional non-time-critical machine migrations between the sites. We do not want to use HA...

    Node requirements for a new cluster

    Greetings all, I am new to Proxmox and currently investigating the possibility of setting up a scalable virtual infrastructure using Proxmox VE and have what is probably a very "noob" sort of question. Is there a requirement for the hardware nodes in a cluster to be matching (i.e. CPU, RAM...

    Add physical storage to cluster

    Hi, new Korean newbie is here. It's just a question, could I add physical storage as 1 node in cluster? I think, as far as I know, it's impossible because clustering requires pve os. It's a shame, but I've been working as a hardware engineer for less than a year. I hope anyone tell me truth. Thx.
