proxmox

Hi all I`m a newbie, but I`m aways passionate about new tech and will try to do my first up to date Proxmox SR-IOV server install. My last successful attempt was whit VMware 7.0.3 and Instinct MI25 where MxGPU worked but the drivers are old and outdated Q2.2018, they still function and you can...

Got an HP ProDesk 400 G5 Desktop Mini (i5-9500T, 32GB RAM, 256GB NVMe). Had Proxmox running fine on it. Did a CMOS reset and now I can't get ANY Linux to boot - Proxmox, Debian, Ubuntu Server, nothing works. Everything hangs at ramdisk or black screens. I've spent hours on this. Tried: Every...

Hey everyone, hope you had a good weekend Newbie at PC / server building here. I’m looking to build my first proper home server. At the moment I’m running a Synology NAS + several (Mini) PCs running containers + OPNsense. I really want to get rid of the Synology, and take this chance to...

Not sure if anyone else here is doing this kind of thing, but over the past couple of weeks I’ve been messing around with running several completely isolated L2 networks on a single Proxmox box. Not VLANs, not EVPN, just the built-in SDN stuff (Simple Zone + a bunch of VNets). The idea was...

Hi everyone My mother board has 2 embedded Nics. I want to utilize the 10 gig for my lan & 2.5 for the wan. Installed proxmox, everything works. I enabled iommu in the bios. Everything worked as expected. When adding my 1st VM as opnsense. & Assigned it to my 2.5 gig port I lost the USB ports &...

Hello, Does the network setup with external switching shown below make sense? Or does it introduce unnecessary complexity? Currently, I run my OPNsense firewall on bare metal, which I prefer. I plan to upgrade my hardware and am willing to virtualize OPNsense under Proxmox VE or XCP-ng to run...

Proxmox have been shipping their most popular PVE (but also PBS and PMG) under AGPL license, but they make it rather inconvenient for their non-paid userbase when it comes to setting up a new install. Also, despite the non-paid software repository is essentially pre-production, so Proxmox should...

Hello, I'm currently trying to build a homelab server. It will rely on a Proxmox Host, which will host at least 2 VM's, one for storage in a Truenas Scale and a couple of other smaller VM's which won't always be running. As hardware I have a Asrock X470D4U with a Ryzen 5700X and 2x16 GB DDR4...

I'm nearly finished with building out a Dell T430. I'm new to Proxmox and servers in general, getting familiar with it but finding it difficult to locate the various logs to find why it's randomly shutting down. It SEEMS the only common denominator I've been able to find between the...

Hello, I'm searching a Thin Client for running Proxmox, means its CPU must support - virtualization - IOMMU and there's space for a PCI card to extend available NIC ports. The price should be less than 100€ and I don't mind if this is refurbished HW. Can you please advise Thin Clients that...

Hi all, I'm currently running a 3rd node for proxmox on and old board, dual xeon, without case, open on my rack machine. This server cannot remain in production in my infra. This node is used almost only to have a third node; I do not realy need the power if this machine in my cluster. I...

Hey everyone, I’ve hit a bit of a wall with Proxmox and backups lately. I’ve got a couple of Proxmox nodes running VMs, but my current backup setup is giving me all sorts of headaches. Here’s what’s going on: The backups are really slow, especially when doing full backups of larger VMs. I’m...

Hello everyone! I was kindly given a Fujitsu server 'Primergy RX300 S8' with 256GB ECC RAM by a colleague at work, as he had been fired. Now, in addition to the server, I've got 16 SAS disks and the additional controllers, which I'm considering flashing into IT mode in order to partially...

Hey everyone, I'm currently setting up my OPNsense firewall + Proxmox setup, but I’ve run into an access issue due to limited network interfaces. My Setup: ISP/Modem: AIO modem from ISP, interface IP: 192.168.1.1 OPNsense Firewall: WAN (ETH0, PCI card): Connected to ISP, currently...

I would like to experiment with a build of OPNSense that can handle my 2.5 Gbps LAN and my 2500/1000Mbps WAN. Do you have any hardware to suggest for a Proxmox build and virtualized OPNsense that can handle that traffic and maybe be able to experiment with IDS/IPS? I had been considering a...

I've been running a home lab environment for over 15 years. I've had several devices in use during those years. However, it's been a while since I was in "hardware" mode, so I'm _very_ behind the times. I was hoping that my ADHD super power (believing I can master a skill in 24 hours, but...

I am researching the TinyMiniMicro project and would like to understand what is the best mini PC to date for a Proxmox server to provide to friends to run only home assistant, VPN server and maximum PIHole. The PC should have these features: - Ability to have two SSDs with the least...

After we deployed our proxmox cluster (4 nodes with additional chrono on backup server), we quickly discovered that existing unifi switches were not up to the task. Overall this is a really nice (though sometimes frustrating) experience for me. Lucky enough we came across two used SN-2010 at a...

Has anyone done a benchmark / comparison / benefits analysis of these two options below? I'm looking to centralize all my VM storage to a NAS (currently all VMs are in each cluster node local-zfs storage) Primarily looking for: * Improved disk space savings via deduplication, since central NAS...

This is my first post here - I couldn't decide if this should go in DIY and Makers, General Chat, or here. I went through Guides, but didn't see anything along these lines. I'm looking to replace my obsolete home server with a server + NAS combination. Looking for references where I can learn...
