Hi. I am fairly new to proxmox. I have setup proxmox on the following specs:
mobo: gigabyte mu70-su0 c612
cpu: e5-2697av4
ram: 128gb ddr4 rdimm
nic 1: rj45 intel x540 dual 10gbe both bridged to vmbr0 and vmbr1, respectively
nic 2: intel x520 single sfp (reserved)
onboard nic: 4x 1gbe (1 port connected through passthrough to 1 windows VM to connect to a local webserver; 3 reserved), 1 x IPMI
storage:
1: 256gb sata m.2 (proxmox os)
2: 512gb m.2 nvme via pcie adapter configured for VMs and containers
3: 256gb m.2 nvme via pcie adapter configured for truenas os
4: 4 x 240 gb intel s4500 configured as radiz1 for truenas
5. 1 x 800gb intel s3520 for ISO images
6. 1 x 200gb intel s3510 for backups
I am running windows 10, windows server 2022, windows 11 as VMs and some linux distros e.g. ubuntu, fedora.
I am currently connect to this web based database server via a windows VM (nic passthrough through windows VM). Every time another user connects to the web based database server, the other user is disconnected as the RDP to this VM is limited to 1 single user only. Though I tried configuring it for multisession RDP, but its not working. I may have configured it wrong.
I am not really well versed with containers at this point and I all I do is grab some scripts through PVE Helper scripts website. Thats how I installed pihole and some other things.
What are your recommendations to have multiple users connect to this local web based database server? I was thinking of a container (a webserver) to this job. You might wonder, why not connect directly from their PCs/devices to this web server? The IT recommended to setup a VM and connect to their database server without internet access. Basically I just configured a windows VM, restricted net access and thats how users connect to this webserver. The IT provided only 2 PCs with access to this database server with around 50 users taking turns, hence the solution is users brought their own laptops, PCs, mobile devices connect to this VM I created. Our office have a dedicated networking setup composed of the following:
UDM SE
XG6 POE (4 port 10GbE switch)
USW 24 enterprise
I brought my home server to the office for this purpose and is currently connected to the XG6 PoE switch.
