Proxmox team knows a lot of companies will be ditching VMware in the near future, so why not add support to migrate those VMs flawlessly, you guys are amazing...

Thank you for the update, looks wonderful! I hope we will see in the future an easier way to enable IOMMU and PCIe passthrough fully in GUI, without having to open CLI. Cheers

@wallyrogers2371 Ай бұрын

Absolutely! I heard passthrough and my mind went directly to the IOMMU and PCIe and thought F&**)&$ FINALLY, but then was let down as it's LXC passthrough. Not sure why this can't be added as a simple check box with a check/balance on whether or not the commands are valid with the hardware (Intel/AMD/NVIDIA).

It is good to add ability to connect storage SMB or aothers without creating folders for iso or backups. Just connect storage

@ernestoditerribile Ай бұрын

Use iscsi or NFS instead of SMB. SMB is way too slow. Especially over 40 GBPS connections

@rarbiart Ай бұрын

smbmounts are a ioload/iodelay problem. tried it manually in different setups and went for alternatives like nfs, iscsi or a pbs pretty soon. even if that needed invest in addditional hardware.

wow thanks for great job making proxmox a great wm. The only thing I can complain about is some polish on the UI, otherwise I think proxmox will overtake esxi

@xandrios Ай бұрын

Thanks for the update! The unattended install is a great addition. Would also appreciate a focus on security; making sure Proxmox passes the various benchmarks (like CIS server 2 profile). An important issue is root access being enabled over SSH for clustering functionality. That's blocking for most enterprises.

@@wojtek-33 I will say this though -- the ability for TrueNAS where you can just download your entire system config, into a single file or whatever, and then when you need to redeploy your system, you can just restore the config, would be an INCREDIBLE feature to have for Proxmox, especially, if you have a more complex and more complicated multi-node cluster that you're trying to back up.

@cjchico Ай бұрын

Import from ESXi is a good step forward, but this only works if you have an entirely "new" physical host. There needs to be a wizard to mount an existing VMFS datastore LOCAL to the host and convert/import the VM's that way (you can already do this manually).

Nice update, are more advanced SSO features (like group mapping) in the roadmap as well?

@movax20h Ай бұрын

Nice. Good work. I like all the small improvements in UI. Also like finally switching to nftables. There are still some changes that require manual modifications to the vm config file, that do popup sometimes. But are pretty rare. For example recently we wanted to setup unique and deterministic wwn / uuid / serial numbers (by default proxmox and qemu does not set them or set them to zeros) to some disk and nvme devices to the guest, and right now, the UI does not support that. But with config, it was easy to pass proper params to qemu. Then only missing part is better support for IPv6-only networks. The installer does not support IPv6 at all (which is worse than Debian installer). It also does not support more than one DNS server or DNS over IPv6. (While debian installer does) We do not care about LXC. While it is a lightway and nice. Docker would be a bit more welcome, but also not really needed. One can always spin up some other OS in the VM, and run docker or kubernetes there. I prefer my VM platform to be as simple as possible, otherwise it is easy to misconfiguration or mess things (like memory limits).

@Derek.Iverson Ай бұрын

> “We do not care about LXC.” Speak for yourself, buddy.

@KnightRiderOfVoid Ай бұрын

Lxc + podman (no docker please) would be a killer combo, but it would also complicate things too much. I agree that a VM with nested virtualization running podman is the best approach for now, with a panel like rancher or portainer it becomes easy to manage if needed

My suggestion to all who will update from older proxmox is to - first shut down all vms. It seems like something anyone half experienced would do anyway, but I failed to do that, and out of three proxmox machines, last one failed update and is not booting any more. For a moment I thought i've seen "...vga..." or something as its last breath, and then nothing. Machine had, among other things, 2 gpu passtrough, so it may be related to that. In any case, I blame myself, since reboot after update is expected anyway, so just... shut vms first.

I would like to see a feature that simples adding nfs shares to Lxc containers

@ewenchan1239 Ай бұрын

You have that. After creating the unprivileged LXC container, go to options, and double click features, and then click on the checkbox for NFS. For privileged containers, the process might be more involved (potentially), but you don't need anything special. If you want to have system-wide access to a NFS share, mount the NFS share on the Proxmox host itself, and then pass the mount point through to the LXC container using the syntax: mp0: /path/to/mount/point,mp=/path/inside/container Put that into your .conf and there you go. Very simple. Then your container doesn't even need to have nfs-common installed.

Hi there, I have been using proxmox without any issues for years and love it. But on the recent upgrade my USB Ethernet adapters are no longer working.

The section title screens are a bit too fast, in fact the whole video felt a bit too rushed. Please slow the pace of the AI voice a bit (not too much, like 10-20%), and also add 1 or 2 seconds to the black screens because it's just too fast right now, you have to really focus to be able to read the full slide. Remember we can adjust the speed in youtube to make it faster but if it's too fast the dissortion will not dissapear, the default pace should be confortable and easy to follow, and we can adjust it manually to 1.25x or more if needed without much dissortion.
