Hi all. I'm a network guy, not a server hardware guy, so I'm looking for a bit of advice on choosing a RAID controller. I've been eyeing up an LSI 9300-8i card (was a Dell H330), but it has been flashed to IT mode, and I believe I'd need to flash it back to IR mode to become a proper RAID...

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to move away from my Thinkpad T480 Laptop Proxmox Server to a more expandable and flexible build. I've been searching for hardware for more than a year and recently got a little impatient and simply ordered a Fractal Define 7 Case and a 550W modular Gold PSU...

Installing Proxmox VE today on an m.2 ssd attached to a PCIE adapter (older mobo), getting the USB to boot required tweaking CSM settings in the BIOS. Install went smoothly, but on reboot I cannot get a boot from the ssd, even after further tweaking of CSM settings. Thinking maybe it's the...

...just kidding about the hookers and blow (that's what the Coral NPU is supposed to detect, BTW) Okay, so a brief outline of the current home server project, the tale which will be told in stages: a) Repurposing the old retired Hypervisor for tomfoolery b) Definition of project scope (or...

System/Hardware/Layout: OS: Proxmox Pool: gimli (4×16TB 3.5" SATA CMR HDDs, RAIDZ1) Current usage: ~21TB used, ~21TB free (mostly large media files + metadata) Planned: Add 2×SSD partitions as mirrored special vdev (sized appropriately) Available temp space: 8×2TB 2.5" SAS drives (can build...

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 My last successful attempt was whit VMware 7.0.3 and Instinct MI25 where MxGPU worked but the drivers are old and outdated Q2.2018, they still function and you can...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...

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...
