I've started to notice...

    PMG iso/appliance VS LXC (8.2)

    Greetings, i run PMG in a dedicated VM for a couple of years already. Hardware assigned: 4cores and 2GB of RAM. I recently got the idea of moving it into a LXC Container on one of my Proxmox PVE Hosts. Silly as i am, i assigned the same hardware ressources as the dedicated VM had. The...

    [SOLVED] dirty-bitmap status

    Hi all, We have a bunch of VMs that we back up twice a day, to 2 different destinations: once to PBS and once to NFS. I had expected the dirty-bitmap to become invalid because of the alternating backup destinations, but apparently, that's not an issue because one uses vzdump and the other PBS...

    Log out all currently logged-in users

    I had an unwanted visitor on my Proxmox server a couple days ago, and I couldn't find any clear way to log them out of the panel after I changed the passwords, so is there a way to just invalidate all the session tokens, and log everyone currently logged in, out?

    Some details Every few days (at least once a week) the pvestatd service crashes. I can still log in via the Proxmox GUI (and via ssh), but the containers are all displayed with a "?" As soon as I restart the pvestadt service (which also works from the GUI), I can see the status of all CT/VMs...

    Share VNC temporarily

    1. The noVNC link to my VM looks something like this https://my-pve.com/?console=kvm&novnc=1&vmid=117&vmname=Windows&node=pve&resize=off&cmd= 2. Is there a way to create another username/password and share just this VM (using the link) with another party?

    For info: Send system e-mail through a smarthost - configure postfix

    Hi all, Adding this here because I've just spent an hour trying to get to the bottom of why Proxmox notifications work perfectly through a smarthost, but system e-mails are sent directly. Hopefully somebody else will find this useful (or, more likely, future me will find this post when future...

    PVE Authentication - User Password Expiry Policy?

    I was curious to know if Proxmox had a built-in method of doing password expiry for user accounts that are not `root`? I was hoping to make it so the password would expire every 90 days, similar to the `chage` command. I am pretty sure if you use PAM authentication instead of PVE Authentication...
