newbie

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...

Hi there, I am new to Linux and ProxMox, but decided to give it a try! :) I want to offload containers running on my Desktop PC and from my Synology NAS and run them on a Mini PC (Beelink SEi12 with and Intel 12th Gen i5-1235U, 32 GB RAM and 512 SSD) I installed ProxMox following a guide...

Hi, just starting out on my virtualisation journey after mainly using Synology kit, but wanting to try a more flexible platform and learning something new along the way. I have been trying to find as much information as possible on initial set up and configuration and although I feel I've made...

Hello I am newbie in Proxmox, i have a question When i installed proxmox, it created 2 disks - local 72GB and local-lvm 152GB. My hard drive is rated at 256GB How can I combine these spaces so that they can be used as one? Thank you

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...

Hi, I'm totally new to Proxmox so please accept my apologies if this is a a dumb question. I have successfully installed Proxmox 7.1-7 and want to configure an NVMe on a PCIE card so that this is passed through to the VM. As with my other post, I see this topic has a dedicated tag defined in...

Hi, I'm totally new to Proxmox so please accept my apologies if this is a a dumb question. I have successfully installed Proxmox 7.1-7 and managed to upload an ISO image to the server. As a next step, I would like to boot off this ISO in order to install Fedora. Unfortunately, I can't seem to...

New Proxmox user. Installed Proxmox 7.2-1 on a SSD. After the installation I am asked to direct a web browser to a specific address. No matter what I do, I cannot get any browser to connect to the address. I suspect that proxmox is not connected to the internet. How does internet get setup...

Hey everyone, First I would like to say Thank-you everyone/anyone for any advice. I come from esxi land and have always had it running on a 32gb usb and in my readings about proxmox that it’s not wise to use USB device due to high read/writes wear and tear. I had to use my second 2tb ssd nvme...

Hello. I have just installed PBS for the first time. I have done it in a 2-disk physical computer. During the installation I chose to mirror the two disks (ZFS-RAIS1). Everything looks good. On the GUI I see I have: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb (Storage/Disks > Disks) No directory (Storage/Disks >...

Hello all, I'll begin with saying I am new to Proxmox however not new to Debian. I recently set-up my old PC as a Proxmox server as I bought a decent laptop and well.. didn't need a PC no more. I see that most people online use 2 physical network interfaces on their Proxmox servers, however I...

I use Nextcloud (NextcloudPi) natively running in a old i7 gen3 laptop but now I am moving everything to a PVE i7 gen10 machine. I started a test VM with Debian 10 with just a few GB thinking to expand later but now I need to increase the size of the partition and I can't find the solution to...

I'm very new to proxmox, but was able to install it in my digitalocean droplet. I have been following different guides but keep getting stuck on this one part, that I can't figure out how to fix. On the guide it mentions to create a 'linux bridge' in order for the VM's to have internet access...

Hi, I'm new to Proxmox, ZFS, and Linux so I'm setting up a test rig to play around a bit and see if I like it. I've got 3 different sized spare disks: 320 GB x 2 (different manufacturers) and 500GB that I'd like to use just to play with, ideally in RAID-Z1. I'm happy that I'd only get the...

because i fail to understand i share my clumsly learnings with proxmox For some reason or other i wanted to explore how to configure two bridges using a single NIC. Eventually this resulted in the faint hearted decisions to set the gateway of vmbr0 to 0.0.0.0, because who knows, it might just...

Hi, apologies if it is a stupid question, I am a newbie to both proxmox and KVM. Is it possible to use an existing physical block for creating a VM? A bit of context: I am in the process of consolidating all home PCs into one Threadripper system. on my old PC I have one windows and one...
