Can't run Proxmox on Raspberry Pi 5 8GB

[zapo20]

Hello,

https://www.makeuseof.com/raspberry-pi- ... o-install/
I am installing Proxmox by installing the Raspi OS 64 bit Lite version on the 128GB SD Card on the Raspi 5 listed in the URL.
Even though I did everything correctly step by step, https://ipaddress:8006 Proxmox GUI does not open.

I tried many times. There are many posts about Raspi 4 on the internet. The URL above is similar and in addition it says appropriate in 4 and 5.
I made various attempts. I am no stranger to my job, but for some reason the Proxmox interface does not open.

My goal is to establish Home Assistant by virtualizing on Raspi 5 and to create a lab environment for myself with Home Assistant style Appliances with the remaining hardware.

I am sharing the logs from my last installation attempt for Proxmox.
I would appreciate your help.
(If you have a different suggestion regarding virtualization, I would consider it as well)

Proxmox VE cannot be installed on Raspberry.

If you use a third party project, ask the third party project team for support, only they can help and fix your issue.

My goal is to establish Home Assistant by virtualizing on Raspi 5

If you want to run Home Assistant I highly recommend to use a Raspi natively, on "bare metal".

Any additional virtualization layer (and any additional "server"-software) will produce additional problems. If that device shall be "productive" / in real use, stability/reliability would be my highest priority.

Just my 2 €c...

This is definitly the wrong forum, since arm processors (and therefor raspi) are not supported by proxmox officially.

Raspberry Pi OS for raspi 5 is based on debian 12(bookworm) the pimox packages you tried to install are for debian 11 (bullseye)

I dont know if there is a pimox8 yet, look there or use an x86_64 based system, then this is the forum for you.

PS

I hope official arm support will be coming to proxmox someday

 

[beisser]

there is no pimox8 yet, but with about 5 seconds of googling for "proxmox 8 raspberry pi 4" i found a proxmox-arm project where some guy ported it for raspberry pi 4.
you could try to play with that.
of course this is in no way supported by proxmox and thats the reason why i wont link directly to it.
be aware that any problems you may encounter in the process will have to be directed to that project and not be posted here on the official proxmox forums.

If your return period isn't over yet you could also send the Pi back and get a cheap (used ~40+ €) x86 thin client instead. Also power efficient, similar specs and even faster CPU than the Pi, same price (with the overpriced Pis since the chip shortage) or even cheaper and with x86 you could run way more software incl. official PVE.

With the Pi prices the last years there is really no point to buy a Pi unless you need the GPIO for tinkering.

It is possible to run Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.1.3+pve1 on a Raspberry Pi 5!
Here is my setup, running 7 small VMs on a Raspberry Pi 5 / 8GB

[beisser]

this is some 3rd party project.
proxmox doesnt support pve on arm (yet, maybe never).
so whatever issue you run into you will be on your own.
so for any support or issues you will need to go to the person who did the port to arm.
this forum is for the supported versions of pve, which is x86 only.

Did you get the ISO to boot, or did you do something else?

Add you external USB storage device give it a name: yourstorage-usb

You will create a SCSI0 HDD on yourstorage-usb & SCSI1 CD-ROM manually.
Adjust boot options to SCSI0 1st / SCSI1 2nd, uncheck others.
Use "_> Console" in the menu, choose text-based installs, if no display
Double click the VM 100 yourvmname (may have to enable pop-ups) using serial pop-up console.
RHEL based installs runs in serial console, SUSE needs more display memory to install, but runs in ">_ Console" window.
Best to start with minimum 2g ram, then reduce after install.

Good luck!

but what is the root password of the root user of PVE

but what is the root password of the root user of PVE

nevermind i am stupid.

Sudo su -
passwd root
set your new password

Hello,

there are 2 same lines (iface eth0 inet manual <<< your eth0) in /etc/network/interfaces, is it a error or is it mandatory ?

thank for your help
