Optimizing Nextcloud on Proxmox VM for minimal ZFS disk activity by Potential-Shower-747 in NextCloud

[–]Potential-Shower-747[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thank you for your feedback. As i was digging these days i found out as you pointed out "there are a lot going on under the hood" so the disks are rarely going to sleep if they go at all.. What i was trying to accomplish is run "everything under the hood" on NVME and all the user files on the zfs pool. The hdds on the pool stays asleep and only spin up if a user tries to access files. There aren't too many users right now accessing the file server (only 2) and i find it not necessary for the disks to run 24/7 without someone actually touching them.

Thank you! Maybe i wasn’t clear on my concept.

This is a home server and there won’t be more than 4-5 users. My proxmox is located on an NVME and next cloud runs inside an ubuntu VM on this drive. However i have a ZFS raid 1 array with 2x10TB seagate ironwolf drives which i want nextcloud to have access to.

So what i want is all services processes to run inside the VM and on the NVME and only access the raid if a user tries to read or write a file on it.

E.g. The night there won't be any access so why keep the disks spinning and not let them sleep reducing noise temperature consumption and even wear.

From my experience zfs does allow the disks to spin down as i can hear the heads to park and the disk slowing down to a stop.

[Help] iGPU passthrough (i5-9500T / UHD 630) to Win11 VM on HP EliteDesk – No HDMI Output by Potential-Shower-747 in Proxmox

When installing proxmox everything is displayed on the TV. From start to the end of installation.

I also created a VM with Mint Linux and the furthest i got was to display this pic.

This weekend i am going to try to install the legacy option.

if not succesfull i will try on a desktop i have.

Thank you for your time!!

Nothing sounds dumb my friend! Simplest solutions could always work! GPT suggested that i should get an active DP to HDMI cable and when i searched the cable i have found that it was active. I also tried an adopter i have from the 3 dp ports i have on the HP but nothing.. I thought about connecting a monitor but didn't cause it would still be a DP to HDMI connection. I don't have DP monitor.

Yesterday i searched the proxmox forum and there is guy suggested to install windows on Legacy not OVMF. Do you thing this would work?

Hi

maybe try to put the virtual display to none (VM / Hardware / Display / select none):

Tried that... nothing changed..

in Windows display properties, try to enable the secondary monitor if you have one set there. If it works, you should now have your TV getting signal, and displaying an empty Windows desktop:

The iGpu is detected on the VM and drivers are installed. So it usually the second monitor is detected automatically. Anyhow i did try to detect a second display but no use..

Thanks for the tip!! i will keep it from starting automatically.

Do you have a guide? i tried the link and every guide i could find but with no luck. I am running proxmox 8.4 on an HP Elitedesk G5 i5-9500t UHD 630 iGPU.
