lxc

Hi everyone, I'm running Proxmox VE 9.0.11 on a mini PC. I have an unprivileged LXC container (Ubuntu 24.04) hosting Jellyfin for media streaming. The container has a USB external HDD (NTFS) passed through as a bind mount: host /mnt/media -> LXC /mnt/media with uid=1005,gid=1005 for proper...

Hi folks! I'm struggling with some strange behavior where I'm attempting to mount some host file systems in the unprivileged guest containers. The reason why it's strange is because it's wildly inconsistent, even in the same guest. I've found several guides (One, Two) that follow the same set...

Hello all, I have a proxmox setup, which is pretty basic. Other than maybe some VirGL packages. However I get this error when I am trying to backup my LXC container: INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --mailnotification failure --mode snapshot --node prox1...

Can't seem to get a static IP to take on one of my containers. I made sure the IP is not in use and I added etho and vmbr0, selected static and put in 192.168.111.80/24 and a gateway of 192.168.111.1 (my ASUS router). When I restart it, it pulls a DHCP address. I even tried adding a reservation...

Although i see ways to use a watchdog for VMs (eg https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/hardware-watchdog-at-a-per-vm-level.104051/), does anyone have any tips to doing so for a container? Ideally it would try a restart before a reset.

Today I fell victim to the "we're going to trash your installation" bug in the latest release of Jellyfin. I currently (or used to, anyway) run it in an LXC. Rather than jump through all the hoops Jellyfin say you need to do to take your system back to an earlier version, I thought it would be...

Hi, I am trying to set up a debian 13 LXC container on Proxmox 9.0.11 from which I can manage ZFS pools. I managed to bind the ZFS storage to the container, however, now I am struggling to get ZFS commands to work inside the container. When I try to use a ZFS command, I get zpool status Failed...

Hello, I've created an Immich LXC using the community helper scripts and it installs and runs root on the drive of your choosing. However, it doesn't give the option to mount external storage options during its initial setup. I'm wondering how I can add a different storage option for my actual...

Hallo liebes Forum, ich habe mir als Ablöse für Kodi einen Jellyfin LXC container mit dem Community-Script erstellt. Das klappt super. Jetzt wollt ich meine Media-USB-Platte in diesen Container einhängen. Hier gehen die Probleme los: Das Einhängen an sich funktioniert: mp0...

Recently when my pve host machine rebooted, sometimes all LXC containers lost their Internet connection. When I tried to manually ifup ethxxx in the LXC container, it stuck at DHCPDISCOVER and got no answer. Changing the MAC address of container may work for a little while (about 5 min) and it...

I have two exactly identical GPUs (Nvidia). I'd like to pass one through to a VM and use the other one in several LXCs. In order to use passthrough, I have to blacklist the nvidia/nouveau drivers rendering the LXC one unusable. How can I achieve this?

Hi all, I have a PVE box in an environment with an MTU of 1400. It works absolutely fine. Any VMs created with an MTU of 1400 work absolutely fine. Debian 11 and 12 LXCs configured to use the bridge MTU also work fine. The problem comes with the Debian 13 LXC...

One of my PVE hosts hung today. Web UI alive and stats updating, but no actions possible, no access to VM/LXC consoles or host shell. Ping response, SSH not. No obvious issues in the stats but they were pretty much flat for a couple of hours, which isn't real. Physical console had a ton of...

I am trying to run a Debian 13 LXC container with nesting disabled. Trying to use the console feature just results in a black screen. Using pct enter 2000 works fine. 2000.conf - LXC Config arch: amd64 cmode: console cores: 1 hostname: test-2000 memory: 512 nameserver: 10.3.3.253 10.3.3.254...

I’ve just created a new Debian 13 (Trixie) LXC container on Proxmox VE 9.0 using the official template. When I open the Console, I only get a completely black screen with a white cursor. Firewall is active but no rules. I dont use IPv6 in my network. I can type into the console, but nothing is...

Hello, I am trying to create a lxc via the 8.4 api. I created a apitoken on the root user with propagated permissions. Here is the content I am using to send to the api { vmid: 9011, hostname: 'harry', ostemplate: 'cephfs:vztmpl/debian13-custom-20251002-dev.tar.gz', storage...

As you maybe know, VMware was not the only hypervisor to change his business Model. OpenVZ Virtuozzo 7 was the last free open release of Virtuozzo. For guys ( and girls ;) ) who need to migrate their OpenVZ Virtuozzo 7 CTs to the LXC, I decided to create some scripts and documentation. I put...

Hello, I'm fairly new to Proxmox. I've just bought a Geekom IT13 (i7-1280p) which I want to use as home server. I want to replace my first setup (a raspberry pi). I want to run frigate through a LXC container has I read it is the best performance solution. Without iGPU, frigate on the geekom is...

I am using GPU passthrough to LXC on proxmox running on a laptop and don't want the screen always on so I set `consoleblank=30`: ``` # /etc/kernel/cmdline root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs intel_iommu=on iommu=pt consoleblank=30 ``` This seems to work correctly without any LXCs running. The...

Hello! After attempting to update from 9.0.6 to 9.0.10, OpenEuler containers (openeuler-24.03-default_20250507_amd64.tar.xz) fail to start. The error message is as follows: root@pve:~# pct start 106 --debug run_buffer: 571 Script exited with status 1 lxc_init: 845 Failed to run...
