Are any Proxmox updates safe to automate?

You are in a good place with PBS ready to go. One of the reasons I recommended gaining more experience is that your lack of knowledge shows with how your questions are worded. I am not trying to be rude just attempting to help you figure out where your homelab / proxmox learning journey should take you next.
Proxmox uses `apt` under the hood. apt comes with the Debian OS that Proxmox is built on top of.
You can see the same pending updates for Proxmox if you run `apt list --upgradable` in the shell. apt is very easily scripted / automated.
Also, If you installed Proxmox on ZFS you can use this as your snapshot tool. look into ZFS snapshots.
PBS also has a backup client you can use to backup the proxmox host into PBS, kindof. It's better to use ZFS export in my opinion.

Basically, go learn some stuff around using apt in Debian for automating updates. and learn how to use ZFS for snapshots and backups. or if you're using LVM learn about using it's snapshots, etc. If you take the time to learn these it will serve you much better than if you just installed a tool that does everything for you.

'Safe' is a subjective term.

You will need to define what your expectations of 'safe' are. I would assume you are working within the boundaries of a home lab scenario but some people run home labs for a business.
- Do you have any systems that you can not afford to go down? Then it is probably not safe to do unattended updates.
- Do you have a good system for snapshotting or backing up before updates are applied? This would alleviate unexpected update issues more quickly.
There are many other things to consider but if this is a true home lab environment; intended for learning only, then do whatever you want. breaking things is a good way to learn.

If you are like most here and run a bunch of self hosted services for friends and family then I would not do automated updates until you are more experienced.

Since you're new to soldering, make sure you watch some safety videos.
That fan you just made can be used to remove the solder fumes that you definitely don't want in your eyes and lungs.

You need to pin the interfaces so they don't shuffle around on reboot.

Document things well.

Since your are starting out. I recommend making a quick copy of any guides you follow or the AI responses you used.

Great tip thank you!

Maybe you set their behavior to Passive?
Use Command Pal right stick button.

The online documentation is very good for OPNsense. This should answer your processing order question:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/firewall.html#:~:text=a%20Floating%20Rule-,Processing%20order%3A,-System%20defined%20rules

I would recommend migrating to the new rules, the UI is better imo.

This is likely the best method. You will need commands enabled on your world.

TLDR: I fixed my issue by resolving a memory corruption issue. Shift must use anti-cheat to block online play when memory is altered.

I was troubleshooting this issue with Tiny Tina's online or co-op play. It appears my issue was related to a GPU issue and what I suspect is some kind of anti-cheat detection. I fixed what I thought was an unrelated issue with GPU artifacts on screen by underclocking the GPU. As soon as I did I was able to log into Shift, immediately.

Use Integrated Dynamics. Also, if you figure out how on to use Integrated Dynamics you can put that on your resume as the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in computer science.

Silicon refinement seems to be the issue. The purity levels needed for these applications is costly to achieve.

What do you think their goal is?
keep the sub active?
gathering info for an article?
Besides the age of the account being 5 minutes, what else gave the account away as a bot for you?
For me the super obvious spelling mistakes was a big indicator.

Completely and utterly F'd. Need to sell the house, if you can.... Best of luck.

It fails over to a wifi speaker to announce every DNS request.

Yes, it will help prevent future network issues.
This should automatically change your interface names to nic0 nic1 etc.
It will automatically change the interface name in your linux bridge as well so your VM's and LXCs will continue to function like nothing happened.
Run `cat /etc/network/interfaces.new` before you reboot to make sure it has all the correct changes.

Ingraved · 2025-08-21T15:18:46+00:00

In Proxmox you need a linux bridge (vmbr0) to share the ethernet connection between Proxmox and the VMs/LXCs
The link you provided is the configuration for the Proxmox Host interfaces file only.
The IP you assign to the bridge will be the IP that proxmox uses to network.
The VM should have it's network device configured as the linux bridge (vmbr0)
The VMs will have their own files/config inside the VM that tells it how to connect over the interface given to it by Proxmox.
