I am struggling to configure cloud-init via the Proxmox REST API.
I would like to create a VM and customize its cloud-init. The built-in Proxmox cloud-init options (ciuser, cipassword, etc) do not have enough flexibility (for example I can't use it to install qemu-guest-agent).
You can configure cloud-init via a snippet, but there is no way to upload a snippet via the REST API.
You can configure cloud-init via a custom ISO, which *can* be uploaded via the REST API. Unfortunately, it seems...

Hi,
I've been using Proxmox for a while now and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate it that Proxmox Server Solutions provide the CE edition to us amateur enthusiasts free of charge. It's great to have that just for us guys with only a couple of machines at home who aren't serious corporate users but who still need a robust, reliable solution at home. Not only is it a nice gesture, but a great marketing tactic because I've sung your praises to many of my colleagues who are in IT...

Hi All,
I have a 3 hosts cluster setup. I wanted to create a new user account "pveuser1" and give permissions similar to or almost similar to root user account.
1. Do i need to create pveuser1 in all 3 hosts?
2. How to give root permission to the user?
Hope you get some replies.

I am new to Proxmox. When I was testing I setup a zfs pool, but later wanted to remove it as I wanted to change the ashift value and zpool name.
I couldn't work out how to do it and was impatient, so I just deleted the partitions via CLI and rebooted. Thankfully, I now know the correct way of removing storage from Proxmox.
The problem is that now I have a systemd service that is still trying to import the name of the old zfs pool that no longer exists anywhere. It was called "tank" and was...

Hello,
I built my first home server with a friend. The server is at his house so we use tailscale so that I can remote in and work on it when need be. I'm trying to use a proxmox helper script to install jellyfin but when I run the script it doesn't do anything. I looked it up and saw several posts saying it's prob a DNS issue but I don't really know what that means since I'm new to all of this stuff. How can I make the script work?

Hi there,
I have two Proxmox VE 8 servers called proxmox1 and proxmox3.
The backups of proxmox1 are validated every night (copy to Debian desktop, decompress, start and ping).
Proxmox3 is an old Dell Precision T1650 meant to serve as backup in case proxmox1 fails. It has a 512MB NvMe on a PCI adapter and two 1TB hard drives for storage of backup files coming from proxmox1.
Code:
root@proxmox1:~# zfs list

Hi
I have read
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager which contains the following:
- If the QNet daemon itself fails, no other node may fail or the cluster immediately loses quorum. For example, in a cluster with 15 nodes, 7 could fail before the cluster becomes inquorate. But, if a QDevice is configured here and it itself fails, no single node of the 15 may fail. The QDevice acts almost as a single point of failure in this case.
is this still the case? I have...

Guten Mittag zusammen,
ich habe mich viel mit den Einstellungen von VMs beschäftigt und auch verschiedene CPU Typen getestet.
Am besten soll ja immer Host sein, das kann ich bestätigen. Nun frage ich mich, wenn ich auf meinem Intel NUC mit N97 eine Ubuntu VM mit CPU Typ Host erstelle und sichere ob ich das Backup unter einem System mit AMD Ryzen Prozessor wiederherstellen und auch den CPU Typ Host verwenden kann?
Ist im Backup irgendwo gespeichert dass eine Intel CPU der Host type ist oder...

Guten Abend zusammen,
aktuell habe ich Ubuntu auf meinem Proxmox Server am laufen. Soweit läuft alles gut. Nun würde ich gerne ein bisschen was testen und immer eine frische Ubuntu VM haben wollen. Man kann ja VMs als Template anlegen. Nun weiß ich nicht ob man dort etwas ähnliches ausführen muss wie Sysprep bei Windows?
Meine Recherche hat einmal zu einem Beitrag von 2013 geführt:

Hi,
Sorry I'm very new to Proxmox and I've tried to find similar ports on the forum in regards to my problem, but I'm getting no where.
Can someone please help me out before I reinstall everything, just to find out the problem reappears.
Everything has been running smooth for 2-3 month and now my one and only VM is crashing on startup and I'm getting an io-error triangle in the UI.
root@proxmox:~# pveversion -v

First time setting up proxmox-ve: 8.3.0 (running kernel: 6.8.12-4-pve).
I installed proxmox to an external SSD on a Lenovo Mq90.
After it said Installation successful! and rebooted I shutdown the system and installed the SSD in a Mac Pro 3,1.
It boots up Proxmox.
After some help from dj423, I was able to login to the web interface and everything seems to be working great - until it goes to sleep.
It goes to sleep after ~15min of inactivity. The web interface is unresposive, the monitor ges...

Hi.
I'd like to get your opinion if the below use case / configuration is even possible to work, and if so, to work smoothly.
So, I'd like to have a setup of 4 NVMe drives in raid 10 (for silence and power consumption).
On top of that I'd like to have 2 HDD drives (for safety), each would have a total size of the NVMe setup.
Now, on daily basis I'd like the NVMe's to serve as network storage with automatic synchronization of data.
The 2 HDD's would be dormant most of the time and never...

I’m looking for some guidance on expanding my Proxmox setup. Here’s my current setup and what I’m trying to achieve:
Current Setup
- I have a dedicated OVH server running Proxmox.
- On this server, I have a pfSense VM that handles VPN access for employees to connect to the internal network.
- The server has reached its capacity, and I need to add a new server to scale my infrastructure.
What I Want to Achieve
- Add a New Server: I want to...

I got the following error when backing up overnight:
Code:
ERROR: Backup of VM 114 failed - PCI device '0000:15:00.0' already in use by VMID '107'
Now I know
why this is - just as it says, the PCI device (a GPU in this case), is already in use.
However, I wonder what the recommended solution is? I have various VMs that are all setup to use the same GPU, and often I'll leave one running doing some kind of background job.
I don't therefore want to have to stop the VM that has the GPU...

I know, it's an old question and I've read many many posts but nothing seems to solve the problem.
I'm trying to import a win7 machine which works but then it never boots.
I've tried removing as many drivers as possible, changing the controller, removing the network but the vm never boots.
I've seen posts about exporting the vmware disks, creating a proxmox vm, then copying the disks over but I keep finding posts that have bits and pieces of what I need but never the complete solution...

Moin,
Proxmox benutze ich privat als "Frühbeet" für diverse Systeme, meist LINUXE.
Die betreffende Distri wird in einer VM installiert, getestet und angepaßt. Falls möglich, erzeuge ich aus dem angepaßten System ein Live-ISO, um das fertige System auf beliebiger Hardware installieren zu können.
Leider klappt das nur bei wenigen Distris (MX-Linux, PCLinuxOS, Slitaz...).
Die meisten bieten kein entspr. Tool an, obwohl so ein Tool für die Verbreitung von Linux vorteilhaft wäre.
Für viele...

A Windows VM (1 of 3) on a PVE host randomly suspended twice within a few hours. The first time, I tried to start it again but it wouldn't work, so I had to do a Stop then restart and it came back online just fine. Then backups ran, ended successfully, and about an hour later, the same VM ended up suspended again. I tried to start it but it failed on its own. A stop/start worked. Two other VMs on the same host are not experiencing this issue.
I'm not seeing anything specific in the logs...

Hi
I've just run up PBS 2.2-1 in our lab to test it out. Installation was onto an existing Debian 11 server. Everything is going pretty well except one issue I'm seeing is that it can't run smartctl on the drives. Trying to view the SMART values for a disk shows the attached (failed - status code: 4 - no error message). I can run the command it's indicating from the shell and it works fine. I tried adding a symlink in /bin to the binary in /usr/sbin in case it was a path issue but...
