Moved to correct forum: New Build Advice v2 -- Hello, I would like to build a Proxmox server to use as my main PC. I'm wondering if it is possible to have the OS - Proxmox - utilise the CPU's built in graphics chip while passing the GPU entirely through to a dedicated gaming VM. I would have a...

Hi, I recently set up a proxmox on an old PC. My proxmox and VMs are all on a 1 TB NVME right now. I want to add a 256 GB SATA SSD as the proxmox system drive to system and use the 1 TB NVME exclusively for the VMs. I was wondering how to achieve that. i.e. how to back up these VMs in a way so...

I'm new to proxmox, I have been trying to work on some of my containers but it have been a pain. When I try to setup a new service I have to write the code from manuals by hand and I cannot copy and paste from my client to VMs. I have been using noVNC because SPICE and xterm.js are not working...

I have a fresh install of proxmox ve 8.2 and after I have set everything up I logged into the machine using my web browser, went straight to creating a VM. After my VM was created I logged into it and suddenly I lost connection to my server. I thought it might of been an error in my network...

Hey Guys, I am very new to Proxmox, and looking at it to replace ESX, as our costs have ramped up. I do appreciate these are newbie questions, however before I get some hardware to create a lab and learn I wanted to learn from the Kings here ! So to cut a long story short, im just looking at...

Hi, i am completely new to Proxmox, LXC and network management, it's just a hobby for me. I've installed Proxmox VE on an home server and create 2 LXC, so far so good. Now I want to use a DDNS (provided by noip) to access all my server remotely by changing the port used. Previously, on a...

I am learning. I had a small server running (2c/2t, severely underpowered box). I reinstalled that server several times just fine. Got used to making VMs. Then I borrowed two computers from work (6c/12t much better boxes). I installed on those two machines just fine. I made a cluster; I made...

I'm learning and played around with Proxmox. I installed a PBS and created a ZFS on a single disk and added it as a datastore through the GUI. I did do a couple of backups which worked fine. I later re-installed PBS from scratch with another single backup disk (ext4 this time). I need to restore...

Hi, Ive been evaluating Proxmox and XCP for a while now and are leaning towards PM for a project. I only have 2 nodes at the moment with local storage (mix of SAS & SATA SSD). Can I get clarification on following. - 2 node clusters are a bad idea due to quorum issues, but you can run a QDevice...

I'm not sure yet exactly what questions to ask... The most fundamental is - are there any sites (including pay sites) which have good tutorials (ideally video, or alternatively written) on setting up and working with PVE environments? Or do I learn from blogs and the Q&A sites such as these...
