proxmox

Hi All I have three Dell R610 Servers with me and was thinking of setting up a home lab with Proxmox. These servers come with Perc 6i RAID controllers and I understand that there is no way for me to configure the drives as JBOD for Ceph Storage. I am looking at replacing the Perc 6i with SAS...

I am currently looking for drives for an upcoming proxmox server build. So it is going to be mostly random read / write and not a lot of sequential. One option would be to go with "normal" m2 ssds on a pcie riser. The server is pcie gen3 and now i am thinking about just going with gen4 drives...

Not 100% sure where this topic lies, so sorry if it's in the wrong subforum After lots of "fun" attempting to flash a PERC H330 to IT mode, I gave up, and flashed an IBM LSI SAS9302-8i instead. Fresh install of Proxmox, all updated, OS sees the HBA, but only one of the eight disks attached to...

I recently purchased a used R730xd LFF 12-bay (3.5”x 12 bay backplane) that I have installed Proxmox on and plan to use for some VMs (Emby/Jellyfin/Plex/Docker, etc, experimenting) and ZFS storage. Basically doing compute and storage with this until and it's a sandbox until I get a feel for what...

I am currently researching potential hardware for a Router/Home Assistant Server. The STH article on the R86S-N got me thinking about the topic. https://www.servethehome.com/this-gowin-r86s-pro-is-an-everything-revolution-with-25gbe-and-2-5gbe/ My current homelab (I left out anything thats not...

Hello STH, I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to get this network setup. I am farming Chia with: I bought one of these, but I am not sure what controller cards I need to connect these servers using this, if I can: Mellanox IS5022 Infiniband 8 Port 40Gb/s QSFP Networking Switch I am...

After watching/reading the reviews on STH for this little unit I decided to get one for myself and try out Proxmox and VMs with PfSense with the intention on going with a multi gig connection. It handles my gigabit connection without any issues and I ended not going multi gig since I don't have...

Looking for some advice here on upgrading my homelab setup. I currently have an older Intel NUC i5 running Proxmox with Home Assistant, Frigate, and a handful of other services. I’m looking to move Frigate to running stand-alone on the NUC and get some new hardware for Proxmox. Looking to run...

Hello everyone, I am currently running Proxmox VE 7.4. I virtualized Ubuntu Server LTS 22.04 and TrueNAS Scale as VMs and started my first ZFS pool with 4 HDDs. Everything was working fine until recently, when I decided to increase number of HDDs inside my case. After adding 4 more disks to...

Long time reader. This is my first post... I am currently building a proxmox server based on the Supermicro H11SSL-i motherboard and 32 core EPYC CPU. My old proxmox server nexver had a GPU, and whilst I didn't have many requirements for a GPU, I wanted to add a GPU in this build. The GPU wont...

Hi, I have a problem with passing a PCIe card to a VM in proxmox. This is a specialized piece of hardware, so it's very difficult to find any information, but maybe someone here had a similar problem, and can share experience. First, the problem: No matter what I do, the card does not show up...

Hey guys, after starting a new job and getting interested about Cluster, shared storage etc. I still can't decide how to start my homelab for testing and maybe some things like a private cloud, Bitwarden etc. and use one of the nodes as a firewall if possible. What I want: low form factor...

Good day all, I'm in the process of converting from ESXI to Proxmox. I have pfSense virtualized and working on Proxmox with 2 bonded networks, one for WAN and one for LAN where the WAN is directly connected from the Proxmox host to the Modem. The next step is to configure Proxmox HA for the...

I am coming up on the time to build my last piece to complete my rack. I have a dedicated TrueNAS server for storage, and a firewall. I want to have a dedicated machine for (likely Proxmox) to self-host everything on, and for Jellyfin (which will run in Proxmox). I am gathering suggestions. I am...

Hello, my MB is a Supermicro X10SL7-F, that has a onboard Lsi controller, that I have in IT mode. I think it is 2 different controllers and I'm planing on installing proxmox on this server, but I would like to use it with truenas. Will I be able to passthrough the onboard LSI controller? Or that...

Hello together, so I’ve just registered here because I’ve the feeling there are quite some users that could give me reasonable input on this. I’m playing with the though of getting my own personal homeserver for quite some time. It should be noted that I’m working in the field of consultation...

Problem Description: Many people using Promox (and other KVM/QEMU based hypervisors) on Jasper Lake platforms (N5105, N6005) are experiencing kernel panics and/or hangs of their guest VMs. Both Linux (OpenWRT, Ubuntu) and FreeBSD (pfSense, OPNsense) guest VMs are affected. The host itself...

Hello, I have a Microserver Gen8 - it's runing ESXI with Pfsense, Home assistant, OMV6 and RHEL9 for containers E3-1230 v2 16 RAM ECC (it's the maximum) 4x4TB WD RED NAS I'm running everything in one and only server, if something goes wrong, well no internet, nothing. I wanted to buy a 2nd...

I started down this path over a year ago and play with some stuff at work (a bunch of really old hardware just laying around). This is the design for my new home server to replace my X299 HEDT computer that currently just hosts PLEX. It could have a lot of capability but was my old gaming rig...

Hi all, I've been out of the homelab game for a few years now and wanted to pick it back up. I was using ESXI before the VMKLinux drivers where deprecated. I have a couple of machines with Intel 82576 and 82575 quad nics. They both seem deprecated and unsupported in ESXI 8.0. Is there a...
