Very useful. Just installed Proxmox and was already reading some of the exact documentation you referred to and a few items I was wondering about.

Main br0 should be management, then setup br1 as a vlan aware bridge for your vm's.

awesome tips! I will check your ceph video. QQ(and maybe video material)... I have proxmox in a cheap desktop pc. The included NVME(no brand) died as de to hardware errors and I used it as boot and storage for the vm/containers disks. I also have some hdd's connected by sata, as I was using them in ZFS for a NAS(container with samba). Any recommendation on how to manage the storage in the future to prevent a hardware failure? Maybe server certified disks? Or a way to backup the main storage for proxmox to have a fast recovery? Thanks!

I've just moved my Intel NUC HOMELAB off ESXI, onto Proxmox , I'm loving having something fresh and new to play with. Perhaps a good topic to cover might be how local storage works inside Proxmox vs ESXI, the concepts are quite different , it took me a few reinstalls to get the local SSD/MVME storage right

I guess the biggest caveat is ZFS destroying consumer-grade SSDs very quickly, but that's not the Proxmox problem

I use Netdata to monitor my proxmox rather than using InfluxDB and Grafana. When I tested InfluxDB, Prometheus, Grafama, telegraf, chronograf, etc. etc. Netdata won out as far as what used the least amount of compute and storage. I was trying to keep this host as lean as possible.

but you need to install netdata on the host no ? i dont like the idea to install on the proxmox host
@mrpops2ko
@mrpops2ko 2 ай бұрын
@@Lunolux you do but its not a huge issue because you could do something like install docker or podman and then run everything through some carved out bindmount which effectively ensures that theres no overlap... as a general rule i also dont like the idea of installing things on the host but its not like you are going to be having some random plex install sitting there and serving data, its just a netdata monitoring solution and the insight is valuable enough imo to make the leap

The default client never caused me any problems in the future, perhaps disabling some unnecessary monitoring or increasing the scraping time would solve it, I prefer to have a unified monitoring environment, both for vms, linux windows freebsd and baremetal, in this case node_exporter works very well , just save the binary in /usr/sbin and use a cron routine with pgrep or pidof calling node_exporter if the error return is different from 0 in Linux and FreeBSD, in Windows it changes a little because it is by installer

hey awesome job on the video and great tips, it really helps i've found to flesh out a use case scenario for each of them or just explain how things are better with {x} over {y} solution edit: at the end you asked if any of us did anything different to you, i'd like to put out there that SR-IOV on a nic is really useful in building out performant VMs. I made the switch some year ago when I went 10gb and its been really nice giving each VM a proper nic rather than some software implementation.

I've never enabled vlan aware in the bridge, just added the vlan tag in the VM options. It did work
@christopherpeterson6004
@christopherpeterson6004 2 ай бұрын
@JohnSmith-yz7uh Yes, and if you also configure your network switch port as a trunk port, and your bridge is vlan aware, you can tag any VM into any vlan available on your network.

The best and fastest way I found to migrate, at least from xen or xcp, is to create the vm in proxmox with disk capacities in zfs storage, get the disk path and via ssh using a fast hash and active compression stream via dd to destination disk. in xen I use vdi-export and vms with 50gb is done in just a few minutes

moved all my esxi vms to proxmox and shut down esxi...running on an HP Elite Desk with 64GB of ram vs a Proliant G8 with 192GB, cant wait to see my next power bill. i tried that esxi import tool but got errors on all but 1 vm when attempting to import. I found it easier to just use the ovftool to do the import and did it on the rest of the vms without issue. Other than having to install the virtio driver on a couple and enable ide for Centos based VMs

I found it easier to create a generic template for imported VMs and do an offline qemu-img convert directly to the ceph storage, then qm set the image to the VM. A couple VMs deviated from the basic template slightly (such as bridging the DMZ and a backend network to provide services or being allotted more/less memory/CPU shares/capacity/count), but the import was by script, just let it run overnight, then adjusted the ones that needing anything special. Went without a hitch.. just two more hosts to import and the transition will be all done!

on the monitoring step, you should never run the monitoring on the thing you want to monitor....

This channel has been great, when the content was about VMWare. But now all this Proxmox content and content about other virtualization software no one has even heard of sucks pretty much.
