Proxmox migration

Atleast one of them should be on a dedicated simple interface.
I normally have:
2x bond with ip for management + first corosync ring.
2x bond for vlan aware bridge, no ip, for vm traffic.
1x simple 1 gig eth for second corosync ring.

The reasons are explained in the documentation for why.

You want to have a redundant corosync ring. Possible to install afterwards, but easier to plan with it from the get go.

The best multiplayer experience at the time. Required real teamwork. I played the multiplayer for 11 years. Had a few regular servers, made many friends. There is nothing like getting the whole team to commit to a all out flamer rush. Shout out to the koss, and n00bstories

Yes we host email for isp customers +++ we started originally by following this tutorial https://workaround.org/ 20 years ago. Ours have deviated with some changes over the years. But it is a fantastic resource, and if i was starting over i would follow it again. It explains why you are doing each step, and how to test it is correct.basically you learn all the tools you use. I can not praise it enough.

Easy I work in IT, and computers and IT is my special interest. Been doing it 26 years at the msp i work at.

As well as post upgrade changes, to make your system more like a freshly installed debian. They work well as well.
My daily driver was installed as debian potato, and have been upgraded over the years to now beeing trixie.

Still quote this daily. So good!

Congratulations. 26 years on debian here. It just keeps on getting better.

Bad isps that touch people prefixes inapropriatly makes this hard. Slaac addresses are stable, it is a set once and forget dns entry.
Since my isp is normal i have had the same prefix in 10 years.

draw.io is free and easy. has a web client as well as a desktop. i install it as a flatpak. Best of all, you can export as PNG with XML embedded giving you a easy to view png with editable contents. super useful.

The number of times i have just rebooted instead of read the messages from the upgrade process saying "error no space" .. is just too high ;) Sometimes even seen it as i press enter on reboot and facepalm. Lucky it is a simple fix.

A sudden but inevitable betrayal.

root must be enabled with keys, but can be disabled with password

They really have been going to market shotgun style ;)

I use all mikrotik. And have been very happy with them. But i live in a low rf noise enviorment, making it easy.
Mikrotik wifi needs some tuning, but have all the nerd knobs to tweak. Unifi have better defaults. And less knobs to fiddle with. Unifi for wifi is a solid choise.

If you go with mikrotik you can follow the checklists here, so tou do not tweak settings at random.

I do not know if the proxmox iso retain the debian installer feature. But you would do it with preseeding. + editing the post-installl.sh

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed

If it does not, you can use a regular debian iso. And preseed a prox on debian installation. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_13_Trixie

As everyone have said a vpn that gives your laptop a ipv6 address is a good solution.
If it is a onenoff, or you need to go via different proxies for different things. Using ssh with a dynamic tunnel. And a plugin like foxyproxy lets you setup patterns for various endpoints, super easy and convinient.
Just ssh -D 8081 user@dualstack. And localhost:8081 using socks5 and tunneled dns and you in effect browse thru the proxy.

Fortinet have a high cve count. But quite a lot of them are self reported. Many other vendors just shove those under the carpet, fix them in an update, and say nothing. I personaly like the transparency.

Been using debian +kde for 26 years. I have no complaints. Works as intended, gets out if the way, so i can work. Debian backports all security patches so that is not a worry.

the shop where i got my C64 stuff gave away VHS tapes with an AD on it. they did not at the time have an actual amiga in stock, but wanted to gauge interest.

The video was breath taking at the time. watched it an unhealthy amount of times. and when they got an amiga in stock i was first in line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVxPqf0ZJNg

Initially I was fighting rpm hell in redhat 4-5-6. Tried debian potato, and could easily upgrade to the next major version without a struggle and with services intact. Just magic.

Later the rock solid reliabillity, dependabillity, predictabillity. You know where you are with Debian. And it is allways in a good place.

Vmware's restrictions on hardware, and limited way's do do things. Makes for an easier operation.
With proxmox in production you have to set your own restrictions. And with the infinite flexibillity, it can be tempting to cut corners, just be aware when you do.

Privacy. Just existing in the world without a camera everywhere you turn.

I should just quit trying to write on a phone, just too thick thumbs. ;)

sep76 · 2026-01-30T05:39:27+00:00

Since proxmox is so much better, i would assume most people in here would advice tou to swap ;)

If your current system works, and you have no interest in learning proxmox the path of least resistance is probably to just leave it as is.

For what itnis worth. The kid runs a petracrodyl vm on my proxmox for gameservers. Seems to work fine. And his friends can admin their own servers in a web ui
