Hi, I'm not familiar with Proxmox, as I've only done work with bare virsh/libvirt, virt-manager, qemu, etc. on vanilla Linux distros, but I thought I'd give it a shot for a client since Proxmox has a lot of nice features out of the box, and I consider Linux the Grand Poobah of software defined...

This is about ZFS Filesystem and the (not) need to stack multiple layers of ZFS and snapshots, but made to utilize all the functionality from ZFS napshots on the proxmox host. to achieve this fabulous glory of software-engineering i utilized this projects: cv4pve-autosnap and Zamba Fileserver...

I am trying to build out my home network, my goals are high availability and resiliency.

Hey all, Hope everyone is having a great week so far. I have been reading STH for some time but never had anything to contribute as most people here are much more knowledgeable than me, In fact, I have 0 IT background. So, this is my first post on this lovely forum, I hope I don't break too...

This was acquired for a project that ended up going in a different direction and therefore has been powered off and hardly used. I'm not sure if there's a way to determine the power-on hours usage but my guess it is under 80 hours. This is like new and comes with the original box. The EVGA Titan...

Hi All, I'm currently in the planning phase of setting up a lab using 2 Proxmox hypervisors connected to 3 Ceph storage hosts. I wanted to get everyone's opinion on what is considered the best NIC value or otherwise to connect these servers together using a pair of ICX 6650's that I have. I...

I am putting together a new system for my own homelab usage and I am contemplating a bit what drive(s?) to install proxmox on. I am going to backup the VMs regularly and the VMs themselves will run off other Intel DC SSDs I still had, but for the boot drive(s) I am a bit uncertain. I was going...

First and foremost, I want to thank you all for offering such guides and wealth of information, I lurked for some time and I decided to register and ask some questions here. For now, I have a decision to make, I wanted a second opinion, as @Patrick so excitedly presented the TinyMiniMicro...

Hello, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to building servers so please be patient :) Recently I decided to build a server which would be used for storage, but also as a workstation where I would have multiple virtual machines for testing/gaming/audio production. After some research it seems...

Hey, I've got vSphere 7 and keep wondering at least once a year if I should ditch vSphere for something open source. I'm thinking KVM-based, but have my eye on the Illumos/FreeBSD bhyve projects, too - although what I've tried of them has been really rough around the edges. Also open to Xen...

Hey, Not sure if this is the correct forum, but the CPU and MOBO are a big part of the question... I'm looking to buy a home server to installed with proxmox to cover the following needs: pfsense unifi NAS plex home assistant And have two leading candidates, both with pros and cons: HPE...

Is the M1015 still the best bang for buck for NAS builds? In 2014 I purchased and still use an M1015, now that I am building a second NAS while keeping the original still online I am wondering if I should buy yet another M1015 or if there may be something better/newer? My use case: Linux...

tl;dr - I'm running Proxmox 6.4-13 on a system with 2x e5 Xeon procs, 128gb ECC ram, with a rust array of approximately 50tb. My issue is, proxmox continuously kills 2 of my containers for OOM conditions, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to solve this. Oddly, it almost seems like...

I'm building my first Proxmox/TrueNAS Core box as a low utilization, single-user home server and hoping to get some advice on my setup. The plan is to have TrueNAS Core hosted in a VM and have an HBA passed through to that VM for the 6x4TB drives to be setup as a RAID-Z2 vdev. I will have a...

Not quite sure if this is the right section to post this in - I failed to locate posting guidelines in the forum. Please redirect if I am off course here. We are a small media company adjusting to a primarily WFH reality and with the powers that be deciding to make this change permanent...

In general, if a filer OS (such as TrueNAS/FreeNAS) natively supports virtualization, why would one run that as a virtualized guest under a hypervisor OS (such as Proxmox), rather than natively? For example, The Proxmox VE KVM-based All-in-One with FreeNAS: why couldn't that be simplified to...
