    Best/Easiest way to move VM between completely separate servers

    Hello, I have two dedicated servers that are running Proxmox CE, completely independent of each other. I would like to move my VMS between the two in the easiest way possible. They are all running Debian 12 web servers. I would appreciate any ideas on how to best do this. My plan was to sftp a...

    [SOLVED] VM thinks it has significantly more free space than local-lvm has free

    Hey all, still somewhat new to this. Did attempt to google before posting. My media VM (debian) shows 268GB out of 825.2GB available, but the local-lvm it's using only shows 65.39 GiB availble. Discard is enabled and I just ran an fstrim -va. I think I may have somehow overallocated storage...

    [SOLVED] Question - Update from debian, an old bug ?

    I know it is an odd title. PVE 8.4.1with kernel Linux 6.8.12-10-pve (2025-04-18T07:39Z). Only pve-no-subscription and bookworm repositories enabled. I came to check for updates, and there are some, only from Debian. All pretty normal. But I normally do at least a cursory few spot-checks on the...

    PBS random shutdown

    Hi, I've been running PBS as a backup of my home Proxmox for at least 6-9 months without any issues. Over the past couple of weeks, I've had backups fail because PBS has shut down. This appears to have started with the second last update which I did maybe a month ago. It is getting...

    I can't get a proxmox machine to start.

    Hi. For a few days now, I've had a machine that I can't get to boot. This machine has two storage units: one for the system and the other for most of the data, which is a zpool. I removed the zpool because I wasn't sure if it could be a fault with this storage unit, but the machine still won't...

    bmax4 mini-PC (n100) jellyfin transcoding

    Hello, On a bmax4 mini-PC (n100), running Proxmox, I installed a Debian VM (not LXC) to run Jellyfin under Proxmox, with an 8GB RAM allocation. It worked fine, but for a week now, I haven't been able to play my videos in 1080p, usually in hvec.h264. I've tried several changes to the...

    8.3 + Debian 12 + Cloud-Init + Expanded Disk + OVMF = Kernel Panic on First Boot

    I have a consistent repro of a kernel panic, seemingly occurring due to something between cloud-init and Proxmox running 8.3. Likely not something your average user will find, as it requires expanding a disk on first install (whereas most click-ops would be the ISO installer, I assume). My...

    Thunderbolt eGPU passthrough possible?

    Good evening, I have a 2018 Mac Mini running proxmox 8.3.2. I've recently attached a thunderbolt eGPU with an NVIDIA 3070 GPU. I've followed countless guides, forum posts, etc. to try to get this working in a Debian 12 VM, to no avail. I can get the passthrough "working" as far as the GPU...

    Fixing UEFI after migration

    Hi there friends! I'm attempting to move off ESXi on a server (surprise, surprise), and one of my VMs is being particularly petulant. It's a Debian 12 VM, running a pretty standard LAMP stack, set up to boot with UEFI. I tried moving it with the ESXi Import function, and when I did, it sends...

    Is PVE install on top of Debian supported?

    Hi, I am struggling to find a single definitive answer to this. I've been tasked with commissioning a new cluster of 50x servers. I wish to deploy Promox to install in an automated manner via a PXE server. The official instructions on automation seem to to focus on creating a customised...

Is there even a way to do this? I am new to this so apologies if this...

    How to (safely) backup a VM with PCIe passthrough?

    Hi, I have a Nvidia 3090 that is passed through into a Debian VM (for running LLM). I want to perform scheduled backup for this VM. In Proxmox web UI, I clicked "datacenter", then created a backup job ("stop" mode) that runs at 6am every day. It worked on the first day, but the backup job...
