Can Proxmox be stable? Answer: Yes

[Patrick]

I was doing a bit of house cleaning this morning since today is usually slow on STH. I was about to reboot a machine when I saw this uptime figure:

root@fmt-pve-01:~# uptime
 09:34:42 up 745 days, 22:31

That is not too shabby. Just over 2 years of uptime.

Which version?

Do you have the kernel care(or whatever the inline kernel update without reboots)?

This one is still on the 4.x line. I do not for this particular server.

Thanks for the info. Not too concerned about vulnerabilities in the kernel?

This particular host sits totally behind a firewall as do all of its VMs/ containers. So concerned yes. But this is not a high priority machine either.

Are you talking about the actual "Kernel Care" product from: CloudLinux - Main | New template

Or does Proxmox have something else you're talking about/are using? Why?

That's the one!!

It was fully supported in 4.4 but I've not yet seen 5.1 support.

wow.... the longest that I made is about 200+ day without rebooting

Cool, that makes sense reroxmox

I've been testing Kernel Care in 2017 on 2 bare-metal servers myself, so far so good... although I have one with cPanel that gets false positives about needing to reboot/update, from what I've seen and cPanel has told me it's something with them.

I'll have to load up KC on one of my Proxmox hosts now and start testing that too.

Thanks

Here's one I was on this AM:
07:39:21 up 247 days, 23:42, 1 user, load average: 0.05, 0.06, 0.08
