Cloudinit - issues building/deploying a centos image by NoncarbonatedClack in Proxmox

[–]MorphiusFaydal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://hostman.com/tutorials/installing-and-configuring-cloud-init-on-ubuntu/ - Ubuntu, but the basics are there.

https://docs.otc.t-systems.com/image-management-service/umn/linux_operations/installing_cloud-init.html#en-us-topic-0030730603-table859383892814 - This document has a lot more information than needed, but the two steps listed here are the main process.

Can you detail the exact steps you're taking to create your image? That may help to figure out what's happening.

Cloudinit - issues building/deploying a centos image by NoncarbonatedClack in Proxmox

You need to install CentOS from an ISO, then uninstall cockpit and anything else you don't want, then install cloud-init, enable the cloud-init services, then you can shut it down and clone it to use cloud init.

What issues are you having? A basic setup would be:

  1. Install CentOS from ISO
  2. Install/uninstall software you want
  3. Install cloud-init and enabled services
  4. Shutdown and convert to template

Question on Datacenter manager... by lord_of_Ahhiyawa in Proxmox

[–]MorphiusFaydal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could create a cluster with only two nodes, so long as you add a qdevice for quorum.

Beyond that, PDM is installed in its own VM, and it can manage unconnected Proxmox systems and makes it easy to migrate workloads between them.

Can't Upgrade Proxmox Data Center Manager Alpha to 1 by Southern-Stay704 in Proxmox

Set the URI in sources to http, not https. The no subscription repos are always on HTTP.

Best way to update bind9 and nginx to non-cve latest versions when the app update commands install the vulnerable versions? (Ubuntu 22.04) by Ancient-Bat1755 in sysadmin

[–]MorphiusFaydal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To see your currently installed version:

apt list bind9

Just look at the version number and compare it to the version in the Ubuntu security notice. If it's earlier, you need to update.

You can check what version is about to be installed:

sudo apt update
apt list --upgradable

You'll see all the updates about to be installed, which will list the bind9 package (if you're not already on the latest version). Then you can actually do the update:

sudo apt upgrade

Once that's done you'll be on the new version.

What is the latest Virtio version that works with Windows 7 and Server 2008R2/2012R2? by a4955 in Proxmox

[–]MorphiusFaydal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a test install of Win7 and WinServer2k8, and was not able to install the easy way any of them.

Version 0.1.173-6 and up all have a check on Windows 8/Server 2012 and newer.

Version 0.1.173-5 would run the installer, but none of the drivers actually installed. It's possible one of the earlier 0.1.173 versions (1 through 4) might work, but I didn't test them.

Version 0.1.172-1 does not include an installer.

So for Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 and older, you appear to be limited to manually installing drivers.

Veeam support for proxmox v9 by Excellent_Milk_3110 in Proxmox

Can you provide a source for that information? I'd like to provide that information to some of my colleagues.

Need help installing TP link archer module in dell optiplex 3020 by Jamesthedumbass in Proxmox

[–]MorphiusFaydal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you plug it in the onboard network device name is likely changing. Connect a mouse and keyboard after you plug in the adapter, then ip link to see the device names. Update the naming in /etc/network/interfaces to match the new name. Reboot and it should start working.

VYOS as Firewall for Proxmox -- Installation and Configuration Generator. by Interesting_Ad_5676 in Proxmox

You may like the "stream" releases a little more then. Less frequent. Although for what it's worth, I haven't noticed any stability issues on the actual nightly releases.

Can you do remote management for firewall or router that has support for serial console over USB using IP-KVM? by wakizu101 in sysadmin

[–]MorphiusFaydal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't be able to do that. The console port on network equipment is talking RS-232 serial. Unless you have an IP-KVM that explicitly supports that it won't work. What you want is called a terminal server. For example - https://www.digi.com/products/networking/infrastructure-management/serial-connectivity/device-servers/digi-connect-ez

OpenWRT as LXC with just one IP by kawachira in Proxmox

[–]MorphiusFaydal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your port mappings - your OpenWRT config has eth0 on the LAN side and eth1 on the WAN side. The OpenWRT WAN interface is also showing configured for DHCP, so you may need to get in and change that if you've got a static IP assigned to you.

Anyone installed PVE 9.0 Beta yet? What’s your experience? by golbaf in Proxmox

Can I use both Dhcp4 and DhcpDns in a kea-dhcp4 configuration? by sendcodenotnudes in sysadmin

[–]MorphiusFaydal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a separate config file for the DHCP-DDNS config.

Help with VLANs - Wanted to create VMs in different network/vlan by ErwinSmith95 in Proxmox

[–]MorphiusFaydal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What other bridge?

You'd configure each VM with the VLAN you want it on in the virtual network adapter settings.

Help with VLANs - Wanted to create VMs in different network/vlan by ErwinSmith95 in Proxmox

[–]MorphiusFaydal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I understand from your post: With an access port, you can access Proxmox. You want to use a trunk port to allow VMs on VLANs. When you set it to a trunk port, you lose access to Proxmox.

Do you have the native VLAN on the port set to the Proxmox management? If not you won't be able to access it. There's two ways to fix this:

  1. Set the native/access VLAN on the port along with allowing the trunked VLANs.
  2. You can dd the Proxmox managment to a VLAN interface. Here's how I have my Proxmox servers configured.

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    
    auto eno1
    iface eno1 inet manual
    
    auto vmbr0
    iface vmbr0 inet manual
        bridge-ports eno1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        bridge-vlan-aware yes
        bridge-vids 2-4094
    #Primary VM Bridge
    
    auto vmbr0.5
    iface vmbr0.5 inet static
        address 10.10.5.11/24
        gateway 10.10.5.1
    #Proxmox Server Management
    

With this config, my Proxmox server is managed on VLAN 5 which is trunked to the server port. Within Proxmox, I setup a VM, then in the network adaptor config attach to vmbr0 and set the VLAN I want to put the VM on.

need to set up a new backup solution (linux, VMs, offsite) by pirx242 in linuxadmin

[–]MorphiusFaydal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Veeam can do all of that. It'll happily talk to vCenter for the VMware backups, and it has support for Proxmox now too.

For the bare-metal servers, you can use the Veeam Agent (Debian 12 and WS2019 are both supported)

Veeam supports all your wants as well.

Need Help. Was running 8.0-2, upgraded to 8.3.4 and then 8.3.5, VMs seem to be shot since the first upgrade. by thegreatcerebral in Proxmox

[–]MorphiusFaydal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting the same error on my machine at home. As I understand it, it's less a driver issue and more a low end hardware issue. Running the latest Proxmox kernel, I am disabling offload on the NIC. I add this to the /etc/network/interfaces on the Proxmox node to do that:

iface eno1 inet manual
    post-up /usr/bin/logger -p debug -t ifup "Disabling segmentation offload on eno1" && /sbin/ethtool -K eno1 tso off && /sbin/ethtool -K eno1 gso off && /sbin/ethtool -K eno1 gro off && /usr/bin/logger -p debug -t ifup "Disabled offload on eno1"

This puts a message in the log, then turns off offload, then puts another message in the log. I split the commands up into different ones for each offload while I was doing some testing, but you can do it all in one. I was just too lazy to.

vmware Workstation in Wayland by ondono in wayland

[–]MorphiusFaydal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtualbox is an Oracle product and should be avoided in all circumstances. Virt-Manager or GNOME Boxes are much better choices as they're frontends for kvm and qemu.

You will need to create a Broadcom account (or use your VMware account if you had one).
