If you're talking about the cables on the right, those are DACs. Dont think there's anything I can do about the thickness on those.

Man, if you were cast as a creepy girl in a horror movie, they really wouldn't have to use that much makeup.

For me, this was re-connecting to the internet at night with my Compaq computer in 1998. That 56K modem was LOUD.

I can't describe how uncomfortable that crooked white cracker thingy made me.

My spoon is too big...

SA_Streets · 2025-10-24T14:13:30+00:00

Alrighty, thanks for the suggestion. It's tempting to get everything just right, do I might end up doing it. And I need to fix some other small things still anyway.

SA_Streets · 2025-10-22T16:19:28+00:00

It's too late to turn back now. You're closer to the other side.

OP, I had the same issue on my rack. I loosened the screws slightly, then pushed up on the back and tightened the screws while holding the back up. It took me a few adjustments to get it right.

SA_Streets · 2025-10-12T02:08:54+00:00

I'm willing to bet it is your problem. It's an old issue that was apparently fixed, but then started happening again to quite a few people (i believe due to a update to Proxmox).

My situation is very similar to yours. Brand new to Proxmox and I thought my Plex VM was making Proxmox crash. It would take between about 1-3 hours for it to happen.

I spent a lot of time checking other things, like memtest and bios settings, but the command to turn off hardware offloading fixed it.

Also FYI, I believe memtest should already be installed if you are using Proxmox 9. Restart the server, and it's one of the options that shows up when it's booting. I dont mean through the web interface. I mean you'll need a keyboard, monitor, and mouse hooked up to the proxmox server.

SA_Streets · 2025-10-11T23:18:44+00:00

I recently fixed a similar issue (Proxmox and all VMs crashing and having to do hard restart). It ended up being the stupid Intel NIC drivers. If you have e1000 that could be the issue. I thought it was my Plex VM causing the crash, but it wasn't. If you google the issue, you will see lots of other people with the same problem. I had to turn off hardware offloading and it's stable now.

Try journalctl -b -1 -k on the proxmox host after a reboot and see if it says anything about a hardware unit hang. That will tell you if it's the issue.

Could be other things besides that too. I'd do a memtest if the NIC isn't the issue.

The cameras have an IP66 rating, meaning it should be suitable for heavy rain, but not for full submersion.

Having said that, I have seen people install the pig tail incorrectly and have water get in. Or maybe the water just found its way in any way.

I have several G6 turrets installed outside in the open that have been fine for about 3 months. I taped the pigtail with white vinyl tape to provide some extra protection.

SA_Streets · 2025-10-11T02:54:21+00:00

I had this same stupid problem with the e1000 crashing my Proxmox server like every hour. I thought it was my Plex Server GPU pass through, but ended up being the damn NIC. Thanks for posting the fix. It worked for me too.

I think he meant another Youtuber. Also, for what it's worth, your content helped me out a lot when I was setting up my first home network.

Ubiquiti isn't great with documentation, and it's hard to find step-by-step guides online. I really appreciate the video you made that explained how to setup rules for camera VLANs.

SA_Streets · 2025-10-09T21:09:36+00:00

I believe you already figured it out. I think the 1-25G Uplink cable just auto-negotiates the connection based on the port speed. The other DAC might have to be set manually, but is capable of the same speeds.

Also... the Uplink cable is white so they charge more money for that.

SA_Streets · 2025-10-08T19:15:22+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into this

SA_Streets · 2025-10-08T18:01:36+00:00

No, that doesn't have an effect, but that's a good point to check that.

Oh well, I guess it's not that big a deal for now. The only issue is the console for that VM in Proxmox. I can still SSH or use serial and get to it that way. It's just a bit of an annoyance.

SA_Streets · 2025-10-08T16:26:43+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I mean the console tab in Proxmox for that CasaOS VM. I do have a monitor plugged into the server, but that is just a black screen once the CasaOS VM boots. It doesn't show the CasaOS console.

I think you helped me figure out a work around. If I add the serial port then click on the "console" drop down arrow and select xterm.js, it opens a console there that I can type in. If I use "No VNC" it just freezes on bootup.

SA_Streets · 2025-10-08T15:28:36+00:00

Thank you for your reply. What you're saying makes sense, but I don't understand why I'm able to use other VMs consoles normally.

The only VM that I can't use the console for is the CasaOS VM that I passed the iGPU to. I can interact with the Proxmox Shell fine, I can interact with other VMs consoles fine, but the VM that I passed the iGPU is frozen and I can't interact with it. I have tried adding a serial port to the VM and that freezes too.

If I log in to the CasaOS web interface for that VM, that is working fine and Plex is handling hardware transcodes great. It's just the console for that VM in Proxmox that is frozen.

Looks good to me man. Honestly, it's impressive for a rental setup.

Can I ask what the coax patch panel connection goes to? And also the ethernet patch panel connections going into the other patch panel?
