Thanks for your Proxmox videos! The depth of the information you provide, your style in delivering that information and the lack of unnecessary "information-bloat" is refreshing in the age of tutorial videos that focus more on promoting the person delivering than the information being delivered! Kudos and PLEASE keep these video tutorials coming!! As an ANCIENT I.T.-engineer who started out with SoftPC on SPARCStations, I've attended a load of workshops, watched a ton of video tutorials and read a few gross or more of manuals and I can honestly say that your expertise and the manner in which you communicate it is refreshing and something to which I have aspired for years! Please, please, please keep it up.

As many other folks have said already, I really appreciate the depth of information and all the areas/steps you went over in detail. Helped me a great deal. You made my day and you have a great day as well.

Deepest, highly detailed, right to the point, amazingly explained, best video I have ever seen about proxmox. Liked it and subscribed. You deserve much more subs definitely. Keep it up, I am so looking forward to see more of your content.

By far the best Proxmox guide I've seen so far. So many guys leave too many blanks just to get a video under 20 minutes. Thank you.

Just getting into Proxmox for a home lab, and picked up more information from your one video than watching many others on KZfaq. Great content and explained very clear why you made certain decisions. Also answered some questions I had that other content creators skipped over. Thank you very much.

Amazing tutorial. I had followed another one last year for an old, low end PC and gave up on it because of how crappy it was and how confusing Proxmox looked. But this video described every little step. It doesn't just tell you what to do, but WHY. Proxmox now seems fun and simple! This is how a tut should be like! Instant subscribe.

I could tell right away that this was going to be the most useful tutorial for Proxmox. Thank you for the passion

I loved this video, the technical depth and structure was well thought through, very well spoken and delivered at the rapid speed that holds my attention. I’d suggest to comment readers that one needs to have a solid understanding of IT infrastructure technology to appreciate this comprehensive video delivered at such a quick pace, if not you will likely be lost. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge without the typical self serving KZfaq bloat. I learned a lot about the product capabilities and where to set things very quickly. I also loved your realistic perspective on performance vs features; most are not needing to build a virtualized HPC system; nanosecond deltas don’t really factor for general compute, features do. Spot on. I also enjoyed the trailer, the sounds took me back decades to my days spent in the DC. Brilliant seeing next-gen so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about technologies whose roots were researched and developed during my tenure in IT. Practical knowledge with a heart warming sensation, what a great gift.

Wow, pure gold here. Learned a bunch, fine-tuned my windows VM. Just subscribed. Looking forward to more VMs/containers/Proxmox

Like everyone else says, probably the most detailed guide straight to the point. Great guide, tutorial and general information to learn from. Thanks! Subscribed too.

New subscriber here. This is the first video I see from you. I must say your explanation and understanding of the topic is second to none! You deserve way more subs! Mad respect.

Stood up my first ProxMox server today using this guide. Made things so straightforward, many thanks 👌

I have leaned so much watching your videos, this one is a golden gem.

This is how you call a proper Tutorial and Guide, i just found your channel and i just subscribed.

I learned a lot , very concise walk through . Thanks 🙏

Great video! Love the high detail on what everything is/does.

I bought my first server this past year or so. I chose Open Media Vault as my first server OS because it was simple to start with. But now I'm seeing how much more use I'll get on my server by installing OMV as a VM in Proxmox and still be able to use all that available power for other things which is totally cool. A different KZfaqr made a 20 part tutorial on Proxmox but I learned way more on this single video then in that entire 20 part playlist so great job on the video for sure. I feel like I have a good grasp on the basic concepts now and I'm gonna take the plunge. This is going to be super fun. Thanks again!

amazing tutorial, thank you. much better even than longer alternatives out there.

Awesome video.... great explanation of features and reasons that you choose

This video has been incredibly helpful, thank you very much!

First time i got it to work in 3 tries. Great information

Thank you so much for such an awesome knowledge sharing session. Kudos to your spirit...! More power to you. 🙌

For Hardware, i have to say i´m extremely happy with my proxmox system running on an old consumer grade laptop. Sounds weird on first sight, but has some major advantages imho. 1. They are dirt cheap, and i mean dirt cheap. 2. Power Consumption is really really low (my system runs at 14W) 3. Integrated UPS, which is a Pro-feature :-) -> also you can limit the SOC to say like 60% to preserve the battery simply by using TLP and configure it once and then forget it. So no more corrupted DBs or anything. Of course there are also a ton of disadvantages, thats for sure. But for my usecase they really don´t matter that much. IMHO, for a small HomeSystem with low performance demands, it´s really a good choice! And if the Laptops dies, who cares, you got snapshots and are back in business in no time.

Exactly the information I've been looking for ! Great explanation 👍 thanks heaps 👊😎

For a newbie and an oldie like myself, this is an excellent video. Thank you!..Lady D🤘

So glad I stumbled on this channel. Every moment is useful content (and I can't type my takeaway notes fast enough lol!), no clickbait bs like tHE oNe ThiNg aBouT PrOXmOx THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!!

I learn a lot...Very and informative and helpful. Thanks mate

Very good Proxmox info! Coming from ESXi + vSphere and Citrix Hypervisor + XenCenter at work, I'm eager to try Proxmox for my next homelab changes. I did some testing with XCP-NG + Xen Orchestra based on a recommendation from Tom at LTS, which seemed good for managing many hosts, but I felt it wasn't the right fit for my lab. Proxmox seems like a better option. Thanks for the info.

Thank you soo much for clear explanation!

Hi, good proxmox guide

Proxmox n00b here. Thanks for this mate.

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing

Great video! Thanks from Argentina!

Thank you for the Proxmox help Bill Hader!

Fantastic video, tyvm for your hard work.

Just a Wonderful Guide, Thank You, you have a new subscribed.

Great video in the style I prefer: Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Thank you Dude, excellent instructions for a complete proxmox novice like me :-)

well done .. waiting for upcoming videos explaining cluster and HA

Nice video, useful for an old proxmoxer like me. With regards to the templates, running this in the shell/console on the host will update them: pveam update

tip is add is changing windows display driver to virtio so you can scale the display better

Amazing stuff, thank you.

Learned a lot here - thanks!!

Thankyou so much for the Win install... 🙂

'thanks for watching my "little" proxmox video' lol. Thanks for the great content

Great content, very useful! Thank tou!

Good video for Proxmox beginners

muchas gracias! super bueno. saludos desde Costa Rica

Interesting to see people from Rivendell into computers too

very clear and useful! subscribed

you have a new subscriber! super nice stuff men!

i would recommend to switch from rufus and use ventoy unless you want your usb only for one thing

Very useful video, THX.

Thanks, dude. This is great info... New sub.

Great video!

Great video ❤

I like how you communicate. Keep up the good work, very informative. I just wish there was a way to get the video downloaded without being a KZfaq premier member.... :)

very nice videos. Would be interesting to show how to virtualize a macOS system

Hey, hello, a great video, do you have any videos of more advanced proxmox setups with multiple lans for storage and VMs as you mentioned and shared storage, etc.

thanks for your reply

Love the in depth explanations you provide. Is it possible to install MacOS in this environment choosing "other" as the system type and using a standard MacOS iso?

Good stuff !!!

Thanks!

Just discovered your channel. I have a very specific set of ProxMox questions in regards to having Unraid as a VM or container. I’d be happy to submit the topic as a video idea so you can get some mileage from it if that helps haha.

good job

Hello Thanks for the video, i understand a lot of things better now. I am new to proxmox and have a couple of noob questions. 1.i am having issues adding an external drive to proxmox. Every time i successfully add one, It disconnects after a system reboot and doesnt re-mount automatically. I always have to remount manually every time. 2. I installed truenas vm, and plex via lxc container but cant access my usb storage even when its mounted in proxmos. Please help.

great first overview - I love proxmox so thanks for spreading the word! Are you planning to do an updated look at PBS? Looks good from your first look vid but would be good to get a bit more in depth info before I take the plunge on setting it up.

I am new subscriber , i learned a lot from your videos and you can make a video about migrating VM from Proxmox to VMWare ESXi. Thanks a lot!

Just installed Proxmox 7.1 in a Samsung T3 external SSD, new to Proxmox. Used 1 1TB internal NVME disk as ZFS for the storage, and got a Win11 running on it. Now i want to backup just the windows disk (added 1 for Windows, 1 for games). But can only backup to Local, the External SSD which is small. Can i backup to the ZFS disk, or do i need to add another storage? And as what type? For in the future: I still got a 2TB NVMe build in, which is running my Manjaro currently, could i setup this disk for backup And usage of VMs (after i emptied it), or should i add another External HDD just for backups?

Danke!

Backed up a 2,008 Windows Echange server under esxi but could never get it running properly under Proxmox 8 although it worked properly in proxmox 7. The quick solution was to create PST files for each user, build a new 2008 exchange server and just restore psts to each uses account. Crude, but effective..

If I don't need clustering, HA or anything like that, I have two 500GB SSDs I want to use. 2nd will be for VM's and storage for ISOs where as the main would be be for proxmox, opnsense, piehole nothing to large. What is best practice for storage for proxmox, which type like ext4, xfs. Im not sure ZFS is where I want to go. And later, if I choose say 100GB for proxmox, can split up or use the remaining space for the other thing I've listed here.

Can Xpenology (Sonology DSM) be installed as a VM on Proxmox? If so, would you be able to show the process including how to pass through the physical hard drives to the DSM?

Do you know if we can migrate LXC containers live in a cluster yet? I have been sticking to VMs for this reason for years. Also seems nothing was mentioned about the qemu guest agent?

The only thing I would like to see added is installing the qemu-guest-agent

Just came upon your video, I have an old Dell 2900, I was thinking of using an SSD to have the OS separate from the 8 swappable drive, span SSD 120 GB or so be enough for a boot disk?

Any chance you can show us the easiest way to create VM template?

The Windows 10 install showed NO sound icon on the task bar. How do you get the sound driver(s) installed?

New Sub! Dryden, MI Nice Job! Thank you for the Help!! Untreated ADHD @ 40...Videos help lol

My workplace have two cpu, i7 (8 cores and 16 threads) and xeon 4 cores 8 threads (I forgot the type), and I have pc workstation lenovo st250 (which have Intel xeon), but what I see i7 have more cores than xeon, so should I keep using Intel xeon or swap it with i7?

Can you show how to config turnkey fileserver container. Thank you for sharing

what about docker container or proxmox container ? quite confused

Surya Maurya WNice tutorialch is best depends but the easiest to learn is soft in my opinion. Ableton is also easy to learn though and also very

Greate video ! just sub to ur channel keep up the good work man :D could you please tell me how to get zotac gtx 680 4gb non-uefi bios to pass through gpu and install Monterey on that vm ? i have sabertooth x79, 3930k cpu sandy bridge and gtx 680. im new to proxmox and vm in general and not sure what to use just to get monterey and other os x versions to work without having to worry about compatibility issue all the time while trying to install them like in hackintosh with opencore and all that hassle when one make one mistake and the installer doesnt even start and have to troubleshoot everything all day and every time something break time to find the problem :(((

I installed Proxmox on a 128GB SSD, and the Disks section shows /dev/sda1 BIOS boot 1.03 MB, /dev/sda2 EFI 536.87 MB, and /dev/sda3 LVM 127.50 GB... but when I click on local in the top left server view, it shows max size is 31 GB, and local-lvm shows max size is 69.24 GB. That doesn't add up to 128 GB. Where's the missing space? Furthermore, Disks/LVM shows only 88% of space is assigned to LVs and 15.84 GB is free. How do I claim the free space?

what network settings should i put - my router address is 192.168.0.1 and its set to DHCP assigned IP

Can you make a tutorial on how to install MacOS on Linux using ProxMox , there’s someone online that talks about it, but he talks a lot but never fully answers questions. Thanks.

i have 2 network cards - 1 wifi and i one ethernet card - which one should i use while installation

Hi, @ElectronicsWizardry I need solution for backup Porxmox host, what is your opinion, of course without other node(cluster)? is there some other solution?

So Xeon processors are a good choice for proxmox

installed proxmox but cannot access web interface can you please help

Bro pls hit that bench and lift them weights so you can compliment that handsome mountain breaking chin.

what happened at 1:03:31?

No login screen.. Only white page is loaded..

You should make tf2 videos again

Tip. Shorten your Name ex. E-wiz

"btrfs is kinda beta now"????? That statement doesn't imbue me with confidence in your knowledge. Saying "I prefer...." is fine. But, making statements that are obviously untrue and not declaring your bias is unreasonable. Everyone has a bias. I have and I am sure most people have. But, if one wishes to consult professionally and I have done so since late 70's - then (A) one's preferneces/bias changes and (B) one should always declare them and reasons for them. Otherwise you will denegrate your reputation.

19:21 - everything was fine until this point. You revealed to everybody that you're just a shill, because the proper response to this prompt is "I'll show you how to get rid of this nag screen later." But you didn't say that.

Am i supposed to be able to READ something on your screen?? Because even with the largest display around, i would not be able to. THANKS to your bad stage setup. PLEASE!!! Stop doing tutorials if you flunked 'screen presentations 101'. no really!!

This video has been incredibly helpful, thank you very much!
