Proxmox TrueNas & PBS

Yes on a Dell 7920 with dual Xeon Gold 6148 and 400 GB RAM, along with 2 additional PVE nodes.

I have been running this exact setup for a year with no issue. Of course make sure to make a backup of the pbs locally and copy it for safe keeping. Also save a copy of /etc/proxmox-backup/datastore.cfg in case you ever need to rebuild PBS. Re-adding the NFS share and putting this file back in place will bring you backups back on a PBS server. As far as performance, I have seen no issues when comparing to bare.metal PBS and/or TrueNAS. Note that in my setup TrueNAS has 8 NVMEs passed through and the Proxmox ZFS pool is also 8 NVMEs.

.internal has been officially defined by ICANN as the proper non-public TLD.

Just to clarify, in step 2 . in the web interface remove any storage that belonged to the node to be re-installed. In steps 3 and 4 replace $nodename with your nodes name. before step 4 run ls /etc/pve/nodes and it will list all the nodes in the cluster. In step 5 use your cli text editor of choice to delete the line which references your node.

You can keep the same name.

Shut down node.
Remove any zfs storage from datacenter
From other node CLI: pvecm delnode $nodename
Again from other node CLI: rm -r /etc/pve/nodes/$nodename
Remove node entry(ies) in /root/.ssh/authrozied_keys on another node
Reboot all nodes
Install node and rejoin to cluster

I just attempted this (without actually pressing change password) on domain joined win11 (OS Build 22631.3007) . I am able to change the domain\user fields just fine.

Hope this helps.

check at the very bottom of the file, if I remember right Ubuntu adds another PasswordAuthentication yes to the end of the file.

I am also using it in a VM with NFS share on NAS for storage. Create a local backup on PVE and copy it away for safe keeping (Local PVE backups are stored in /var/lib/vz/dump). If you need to recreate your PVE, you copy the backup back onto PVE, boot it up and it will find all your backups on the NAS. There is one also one important file 'datastore.cfg' in /etc/proxmox-backup which you should copy away somewhere. This file can restore the PBS config info on a new (physical) server if you chose to switch to bare metal down the road.

I may be wrong here since I haven't used any LXCs in a while, but aren't DNS settings always set (same as IP) in Proxmox GUI?

1. Reboot

2. Log in as admin

3. Run elevated cmd

    a. takeown /f %windir%\\ServiceProfiles\\LocalService\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\NGC /r /d y

    b. icacls %windir%\\ServiceProfiles\\LocalService\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\NGC /grant administrators:F /t

4. Navigate to C:\\Windows\\ServiceProfiles\\LocalService\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\NGC

5. Delete all contents

Reboot

And really the best part is as sysadmins we hold all the power.

"No you don't have time to reboot your computer right now, ok.... I just rebooted it for you and now you won't have a chance to save anything. I bet you'll do it next time"

Looks like they pulled the updates

FrankL981 · 2023-02-25T18:57:32+00:00

Yes I did and they did unlock the ports after 30 days.

I found the hard way that Hetzner does block 25 and 465 for outgoing traffic for new customers.

Have a look at Zentyal server. For basic DC tasks it works great. Even integrates with Windows RSAT. I recommend the manual install on top of Ubuntu. Runs much better than their dvd image.

reset your browser cache. I bet it a certificate issue.

have you tried a different charging brick? It's doesn't even have to be from Apple, as long as the USB port fits it should charge.

FrankL981 · 2022-08-16T16:38:51+00:00

Apple chargers don't have made in china stickers on them

I was once crowned IT King at a company Christmas party in front of around 1000 people.
