    LXC mp0 data loss after Backup/Restore

    I have an LXC container to which an mp0 ZFS volume with information is mounted, but it is excluded from the backup because it's very big. After creating a full backup of LXC and restoring from it, the data on the CT volume (subvol-103-disk-2) began to be deleted and was completely deleted :eek...

    Proxmox's team stance on running Docker inside an LXC container ?

    I know the point of live migration is addressed in the official documentation (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Linux_Container), but I couldn't find any other official comment on this matter. Some members of the community say that Docker and the LXC sharing the kernel amounts to looking for...

    Why LXC containers default to 2 TTYs

    I just noticed that in the default configuration of newly created LXC container, the TTY count defaults to 2. I changed it to 1 and nothing bad happens :p. Using web console and pct enter simultaneously doesn't break either. Just curious why it defaults to 2, I thought there might be a reason.

    LXC Networking - No hostname from nslookup?

    Strange question, and honestly not a big deal, but just got me wondering. When I do an nslookup or a ping -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, my plex LXC doesn't return a hostname. My router shows its name as UNKNOWN (where other IPs would show a hostname), even though I've confirmed the hostname within the...

    [SOLVED] small LXC + tmpfs + journald with defaults => LXC die with OutOfMemory

    Hello All! I have been experiencing some LXC with small memory allocation stops, randomly dies silently without any trace of cause. Watching over time, I found that the most probably reason is out of memory. Allocating more memory allows it to run longer, but it fails anyway. When I try to find...

    Proxmox on Oracle Cloud Free Tier Ampere (ARM)

    First, I want to just hands up state that my setup is very much unsupported, I know that. But I have been playing with getting proxmox running on the Oracle Free tier ampere server and that works just swell. I want to play with it to see if I can get it running reliably on OCI, with a IPsec...

    Fedora 41 LXC not starting properly

    I've tried upgrading a Fedora LXC from v40 to v41, but it fails to start, or rather it starts but does nothing. The Proxmox host is updated in full, so should be the latest-and-greatest as of writing. Anyone else seeing this, or can point at what's going wrong? root@pve:~# pveversion...
