    LXC container memory configuration

    Could somebody elaborate on how to configure the LXC memory settings properly? The UI allows me to set the memory limit of my container to e.g 1024MB and 0MB for swap. According to the documentation this would be wrong: Is the UI missing a sanity check or am i misinterpreting the documentation?

    Migrating VMs to Low-Mem Nodes

    If a destination node does not have enough memory to migrate a running-VM to, it still migrates it and then causes the system to hang. Is there a setting to prevent this behavior and only allow deploying VMs if there is enough available memory?

    Is Proxmox swap shared by containers?

    Whether or not I allocate swap to a container, the container still shows the swap size of the physical server. Software such as NextCloud reports memory usage by adding Mem and Swap together. /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 262144 kB MemFree: 218196 kB MemAvailable: 218196 kB ...

    KVM fixed memory - ballooning?

    In PVE 4.4 when creating a new VM, at the tab Memory there's a new checkbox "Ballooning" when "Use fixed size memory" is selected. I thought ballooning is only used with dynamic memory assignment (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Dynamic_Memory_Management#Ballooning). Also the "Help" button doesn't...

    How can I set CPU usage and memory to unlimited for a LXC container? This is used for a single CT which should be able to use all physical system resources.

    Allocating All Available Memory to VMs

    Hi, My PVE box only has 8GB RAM, & I run 2 KVMs- one with 4GB, & the other with 3GB. I'm wondering if I can allocate 4GB to the one which currently only has 3GB, and still have enough for the underlying host processes to run unencumbered. I don't use ballooning, as it's been problematic in...
