Proxmox Datacenter Manager - First Alpha Release

you need to use the CLI (proxmox-datacenter-manager-client) - but see my response way earlier in the thread - those are neither guaranteed to be fully implemented yet, nor to stay as they are!
That's great! I was expecting "it's not done yet" so "here's how to do it, but it's subject to change" is better then that!
 
When Proxmox VE updates a Let's Encrypt certificate then Proxmox Datacenter Manager always gives the error that it cannot verify ssl cert. (Since the thumbprints do not match.)
I get that you want to verify the thumbprint but when using Let's encrypt then it really gets to be a pain.

it doesn't make sense to pin the fingerprint in this case, just let the cert be verified via the system trust store by leaving the fingerprint out..

please post the full error message and your config..
 
For now the workaround is to just create the token with the right permissions in Proxmox VE and when just use the "use existing token" option instead of the login and create new token option.
But adding 2FA support for the nodes would be really nice at a minimum.
I simply disabled 2FA for the account temporarily, got PDM to generate the token, then after connecting re-enabled 2FA again. Seems to be ok so far.
 
Nice Job!!

Is there a possibility this tool to use syncoid for migrating in the cases where the VMs are using [B]ZFS[/B] on both sides of the migration?
It is waaaaay faster and it also has the bonus of preserving any zfs dataset snapshots...

I apologize in advance if this has been asked a million times, I started to read through the commends on this thread to see if this was asked before or not, but gave up at around page 5...

no, but there are plans for extending the built-in replication feature to allow replicating across clusters (and re-using this replication state for migration, just like we do when migrating within a cluster with replication enabled).

Hi,
I have the pdm version 0.1.7 I'm trying to update it but I receive these warnings, what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Is it normal that live migration of LXC containers is no longer possible?
When I try, the container is turned off and on again after migration.
I seem to remember that this was possible.

you misremember - live migration for containers does not exist and never has.

it's a very tough problem to solve for generic containers, so I'd not get my hope's up ;)

Thanks for putting work into this, looks very promising!
Are there any plans to include some sort of load balancing mechanism for VMs? I guess similar to DRS?
Apologies if its been asked already.
 
about 15 cars moved perfectly

Here is the error of one of them, which occurs when it seems like 500 GB was transferred.
after this I can't make a backup of this VM:
Before the unsuccessful migration I made a backup of this VM
