proxmox

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...

Just ordered two (Mini PC Q20300G9-S10 Series CPU Atom C3808, 10G SFP+/ 2.5G LAN/ Qotom Mini Server/ Router Firewall) devices with the goal of having two of my locations have a site-to-site vpn. I'm a techie but a noob at this. The CPU in these devices is an Intel C-Series that has embedded...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased an ASRock N100M motherboard with the following setup in mind: Use an ASM1166 M.2 to 5x SATA adapter to connect 4 SATA drives. Attach 2x 240GB SSDs directly to the motherboard over SATA. Install Proxmox as a bootable RAIDZ set on the 4 SATA drives. Add the 2...

Hi all, I'd really appreciate some advice on choosing a motherboard & CPU for my 'new' Proxmox server with a budget of around £350/$470 for those two components. I am happy to buy refurbished gear (I am based in the UK). I am currently running an old Dell T7610 (2 x E5-2630 v2; 128GB ECC RAM)...

I'm thinking about migrating to Proxmox but not sure how my new architecture is going to look like yet so I would like some wisdom. My homelab is running 2 esxi nodes with some local storage plus another TrueNas Scale server for iSCSI for both nodes as well as SMB shares for various PCs in the...

Hello everyone, I currently have a basic homelab comprising of a low end NUC machine running homeassistant and a synology NAS that serves double duty of data warehousing and also hosting a bunch of other services I use via docker. This includes things like Pi-hole, portainer, *arr stack, amongst...

Hi everyone, I'm currently running Proxmox VE on my MS-01. Is there a way to update the BIOS? I contacted MinisForum and they said they update only supports Windows 11. Has anyone run into this problem and have a solution?

Hey all! I'm finally getting up off my butt and building a proper-ish homelab. I'll worry about making it pretty and racked as I go, but at least for now, I have a decent UPS, I have a machine that's suitable for backend storage, and now, I wish to have a machine that I can run some virtual...

I'm looking to recruit support for my request to post (if it doesn't exist) or make more visible (if it does exist) a web page that lists the releases, their beta/stable status, and release notes with known issues of the VirtIO KVM Windows Guest drivers. If you agree, please go to this post and...

I just got an Intel C612 Gigabyte MU70-SU0 motherboard. I will be installing an E5-2699-V3 or an E5-2679A-V4. PSU: Seasonic 650W platinum, quadro P620, 6x samsung evo ssds. I am going to use it for a proxmox server. I am fairly new at it and this will be my test setup. I've got some questions...
