    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?

    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...
