    [SOLVED] One Debian Guest VM extremely slow on Proxmox VE 9 - all other seem fine on the same Host

    I am having a Problem with one Debian Guest VM (running Debian 12 Bookworm AMD64, currently running the Upgrade to Debian 13 Trixie AMD64). It's extremely sluggish, even to just run apt update. While compiling Kernel Modules (e.g. zfs via dkms) I can see that the CPU Usage never gets above 15%...

    [TUTORIAL] PVE9 Create a VM Template for a Debian Trixie Server with Cloud-Init

    Just wanted to share my (successful) procedure for creating in PVE9 a VM Template for a Debian Trixie Server with Cloud-Init, which I have done in the past for previous Debian versions in PVE8. This is most useful to quickly spin up a Debian server for any purpose. The following procedure was...

    Proxmox seems to use outdated cloud-init Module

    Hi, I wasn’t sure where to report this issue, so I’m writing here. I’m using Cloud-Init with a Debian VM, and on each startup I see the following console message: [ 23.822737] cloud-init[458]: 2025-07-31 15:54:32,614 - ug_util.py[WARNING]: DEPRECATED: 'user' of type string is deprecated...

    [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...

    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...

    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...
