    When I try installing Proxmox with the NIC installed, it crashes. When I install without the NIC it installs perfectly fine but I can't access the web interface (because there is no NIC) and if I install the NIC after proxmox is installed, it doesn't boot correctly and gives an error message...

    minfree LVM config option during install

    Hi everyone, just thought I'd play around with Proxmox on a NUC11 I just bought and see what this piece of software that everyone is talking up can do.

    [SOLVED] Install Proxmox to SSD and then add another SSD for RAID-1 later?

    I have a server I've installed Proxmox onto that has one SSD for the main system installation. I'd like to add an identical drive in a month to mirror my base install as a software RAID-1 (raidz maybe?) so I don't have any down time for when the primary SSD fails. Can this be done, and if so, how?

    Why doesn't the 6.4 install see my areca 1886 arrays?

    Trying to install 6.4 via iso on a Supermicro box with an Areca 1886-8i controller but these devices are not present when I boot to the installer. All it sees is the USB stick I booted the ISO from (Ventoy). I have a 8TB sata RAID10 and and a 2TB SSD RAID5 array on the Areca card. Any thoughts...

    ZFS Pool Handling

    I have a new HP-Server, with a "fake" Software-RAID-Controller. So I often read that the software-raid and Proxmox are not the best friends, so I decided to install Proxmox with ZFS-Storage-Pool. Everything alright so far, but I usually used to install Proxmox on a Hardware-Raid, so no idea...

    One-Liner After Install

    Not sure if anyone has done this already (because I haven't looked) but here is a one-liner I use after I install Proxmox on my servers. It does 4 things. 1) places pve-no-subscription in the /etc/apt/sources.list file 2) comments out the pve-enterprise.list 3) apt update && apt...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox install (local) minimal install

    I usually use the ISO to install Proxmox but it's very wasteful of drive space where it will automatically allocate about 100 GB to the local storage. Is there a way to tell Proxmox not to use that much space or do you have to install the OS First and then add Proxmox? If you have to install...

    Default install size

    It seems as if the default install sets local at 100 GB. That's way overkill for my scenarios. Is there a way to change that upon install or after install (before adding VM's)?
