@@christianlempa If you don't mind a suggestion, I'd love for there to be some actual documentation for people wanting to get RoCE or iWARP working with common stuff like iSCSI or SMB. Currently the only 'easy' way to get RDMA for a homelabber is Windows with SMB Direct or by using BTRFS, but nothing for TrueNAS or Proxmox. Would be a super big leap forward to have a big creator talking about the benefits RDMA offers, especially in a virtualization environment.

@heldmar 28 дней назад

Hey Christian! First of all great channel, and thanks for such great videos! I am a Proxmox user for more than 8 years now, and most of the things you summarized in this video are really a must do. One thing I would recommend is setting up a VM in Proxmox, and connect primers to the Proxmox server and pass them through, if your VM is Linux for example, you can share those printers using CUPS and you will have the printers easily available for any device within your network without the need to even install them or configure it. I have done it, and I am able to print from Linux desktop, Windows desktop, Mac desktop, iPhones and iPads by simply using network printer, no driver hassle or ant other shannanigans! I hope this helps and also you can use this idea for your environment. Cheers!

Awesome video! Quick tip to keep things organized for VMs and CTs is make use of resource pools. I have few pools but most common are Production, non-production and testing. I use them to create different backup jobs so it don't waste alot of time backing up CTs/VMs when it only needs to be backed up few times a week or weekly. Plus when you create new CTs/VMs you can specify which pool to put it under.

Nice to have all those tips, I instantly added some of those to my proxmox environment. One addition: I've read, that you should select the CPU type "host" instead of the default selected "x86-64-v2-AES" when creating a VM. It simply performs better.

@christianlempa Месяц назад

I don’t think that’s true anymore, and using the v2-AES does solve a few problems when doing live migration to other nodes that might have a different CPU model. More testing to come… :)

@andreas7944 Месяц назад

Good timing. I have a Minisforum MS-01 sitting next to my desk that will be my first ever Proxmox host, but the RAM doesn't arrive til Monday I think, and the WD N700 2TB SSDs I ordered were on back order, so they're not supposed to get here til Wednesday. The first thing I want to do with it is stand up a Debian VM to serve as my Docker host, and move all my Docker containers off my Synology NAS onto there. I am however a tad leery about the virtualized storage, as I just don't know if I like the stuff being wrapped up in virtual disks with snapshots backed up to the NAS, as opposed to backing up the actual files themselves to the NAS, then backing them up offsite to Backblaze B2 or something. Can you speak to this? Like... if I have snapshot backups and Proxmox gets hosed, if I setup Proxmox again will restoring those snapshots work?

@ronaldvargo4113 10 дней назад

Christian, as always great video, a question that I can't seem to find a answer to is how Proxmox handles SSD drives and the "Trim" command to reclaim the stale blocks. Many mini PCs are NVME-SSD and by default Proxmox will partition the NVME for the OS and then make a "thin" partition for the VM's and LXC's. In my case I have a small NVME's in my Mini PC with a SATA SSD for the containers and their disks. This is partitioned as ZFS to allow for HA support of VM's and LXC's. Reading though the documentation there are ways to configure Trim in ZFS but there is also some blogs that talk about having the VM guest OS also issue trim. In the case of LXC's I have no clue on what would need to be done. Maybe you can do a video on storage options and best configuration options for various types of storage based on the VM/LXC?

@yerunski Месяц назад

What I always do, just a small thing, I disable 'Use tablet for pointer' on each VM. I just like to disable things I don't need. For the certificate section, I created my own self signed certificate valid for 10 years. Since I'm only using it in my local network environment and it's not exposed to the internet. Downside is that I need to install the root certificate on each device I access the web portal from. But it has to be done once only of course 😉 Great video Christian!

Guter Tag Christian, Thanks a lot for the video, it helps a lot, I got a very strange behaviour, in my Proxmox environment, I have truenas running with a pool for shared information. So far good, but if I check the size of the truenasvm each day is increasing its size by 500mb per day, and I cannot figured out why, have you ever have a scenario as mine?, do you have any idea?

@thadrumr Месяц назад

Our main virtualization expert at work gave a REALLY great explination of CPU provisioning. One thing to keep in mind is that the numbrer of VCPU's assigned to a vm the CPU needs to have free and not already allocated to another vm in the QUE. For example if you assign 8 cores to a VM it would need 8 cores not already que'd to another VM. Even if the task the VM needs to run is a small task and doesn't require all 8 cores at that time it still needs to have the number of CPU cores available and not already allocated to another VM in the que. This means that a lot of times VM's that are over provisioned will actually run worse and lowering the number of CPU cores can actually increase performance. I am not sure how to see que times in Proxmox but this was an issue we were seeing at work with some of our VMware servers but the concept is still the same.

@Glatze603 Месяц назад

Only bad if your proxmox host crashes and all your vm's are down. I have 2 pbs as vm on different proxmox hosts for my daily vm backups (with sync jobs from each other every night) and I have one bare metal pbs with sync jobs for my 2 vm-pbs (once a week). So if one proxmox host crashes, I have one pbs on another host and if both crash, I have a separate one on bare metall.

@christianlempa Месяц назад

Maybe that's a good idea for a future video. But I'm not a big friend of deduplication tbh :P

@Glatze603 Месяц назад

Hi Christian, for backup your vm's you should use 1 pbs (as vm) on every proxmox host with daily replication to each other. If your host 1crashes, you have no more access to your backups, because your nas is down, too. In my case, you have 1 pbs with backups of every vm on both proxmox hosts.

@NillionaireNewsNetwork Месяц назад

Christian you say you order a certificate and then the certificate warning disappears in the browser. But do these certificates autorenew yearly? Are they permanent certificates different from SSL certificates in being TLS certificates? I have a blockchain running inside a docker image and it needs a loop to restart the blockchain and rewrite a private key because the ssl certificate has to regularly be renewed, so that when it is renewed the blockchain is restarted to prevent dodgy handshake messages even though the blockchain ports ae secure, are you saying that I can use a TLS certificate once off, rather? So that I don't have to put my blockchain on a loop to restart so that I regenerate a new private key related to the SSL certificate. I' m not sure how it's different, the tls certificate from the ssl.

@christianlempa Месяц назад

That's one of the advantages of the ACME protocol, which allows a simple and easy way to issue, and renew certs. Letsencrypt certs usually expire after 90 days, if that happens the daily update daemon in Proxmox will automatically try to renew them.

@NillionaireNewsNetwork Месяц назад

@@christianlempa I see. The NXT blockchain clone has a privkey that should be auto-updated if the cert is renewed, and the blockchain restarted. I wonder if I will still need to use a loop in docker to fix this problem because the blockchain keystore is a copy of the privkey from the cert and the blockchain needs to be restarted if it is changed for it to take effect. Hopefully I will figure it out sometime, but I see the problem is still there. There is a bash command I insert in the dockerfile to renew the blockchain's key and restart the blockchain container. But this solution will be great for the DNS resolution for nodes, the command will rely on seeing if the date of the cert has changed to 'refresh the blockchain' image / restart. I have not had time to work on it for a year, my memory is bad now. Great videos...|! I hope I can get back into admin fun!

Using Disk VirtIO Block on Bus/Device also speeds up disk speed.

@christianlempa 29 дней назад

Note, that this is not recommended anymore, as on the Proxmox website it says virtio block might get deprecated in the future: pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Paravirtualized_Block_Drivers_for_Windows

@@christianlempa I would like to know why, because disk speed increases a lot when using it. Perhaps I should go and ask on the irc channel :)

Best! Please tell about nfs & Unprivileged LXC containers, аnd about share folder in proxmox lxs.

@christianlempa Месяц назад

I haven't done much with LXC and I'm not planning to do, so I don't know if that will happen :/

@@christianlempa sad( But why you not use LXC??

I place a .forward in the home directory for root so that mail to root goes where I want it to.

@TimRiker Месяц назад

I'm actually forwarding root in /etc/aliases to my normal user account now.

Don't tell Christian, but I haven't enabled Notifications because it's not available in the control panel at all and I've been too lazy to figure out certs. Even though there are excellent tutorials on how to get them setup..

Haha, I've caught you in the comments :D
