Honestly i think your haircut looks so much better and more fresh if you like! and i REALLY like the tutorials section which you are taking up again. Thanks Jeff!
Was just looking for how to restore an old backup from Proxmox Backup server when a test machine wouldn't come back after being down for several months. Pretty happy I can restore it right on to the primary server for maintenance, couldn't figure out how to bring it back from PBS until I skimmed this video. Thanks dude! Finally subscribing, and cheers.
Great video Jeff. I really appreciate finding some more advanced Proxmox VE content. It definitely give me ideas for where I want my home lab to go. Cheers!
Excellent video. I had to restore my VMs, as I accidentally deleted the linux kernel on my proxmox box. Good thing the restore process is so straightforward!
Yeah I'm going to need to set up a ProxMox server. i've got several dell Poweredge boxes (socket 1366) sitting here doing nothing. just have to find a good spot to stash one since I don't have a dedicated rack setup yet. Other projects keep getting in the way.
@@waffleMccoy I've got some stacking wire shelves which the manufacturer claim will support 350 pounds on each shelf. I've got an R510 and an R710 stashed there for now and have Proxmox up and running. Although when I get my disk shelf set up for the TrueNAS Core setup that will need the rack. I have the rack. Just haven't figured out where I want to put it, yet.
Bravo Jeff, I stumbled across your videos this week and was very impressed with your content. Especially how well you presented setting up Proxmox with FreeNAS. I wish I had seen this turorial years ago when we had to upgrade some clustered servers with Proxmox ver 4 and I remember spending numerous hours planning how to migrate to new hardware with minimal downtime. I no longer look after Proxmox but did enjoy working with it and this video brought back memories. I was also interested in how freeNAS integrated with Proxmox but never had the time to try it as we we used dedicated SANs for shared storage. It was great that you were able to show me this with your videos. Proxmox can be a challenge understanding networking and storage commands if not familiar with Linux but once running Proxmox is pretty straight forward to manage from the web interface.
I am seriously glad that I spent my childhood listening to and understanding Spock so that I was able to hear (and understand) Sheldon to gear up to Jeff, the informational Autobahn
Have you figured out a way to have replication and migration both available at the same time? There was a post about this a while ago, and it boiled down to the disk sync used by live migration isn’t compatible with the ZFS send/receive used for replication.
@@matthewkriebel7342 on proxmox? If so that feature was added multiple releases back. It works just fine, use it all the time. 3 nodes with local ZFS, relocation between nodes, migrate to replication node when I need to do maintenance. Freenas is my backup target for proxmox, nfs storage for iso/container templates, cifs shares, etc.
@@JustSomeGuy009 is the freenas a VM inside proxmox or an extra box? are the 3 nodes all on local network? i am playing with a 2 node setup home to hoffice but bandwidth is only about 20mbits up down. wonder if zfs replication helps here since it transfers difference and not entire files.
Two comments / suggestions.. First, you should be using LXC CT's for almost all of your virtualization instead of using VM's.. LXC it's way better in most cases! Second, you should be using NFS to share your FreeNAS / TrueNAS CORE Pools to your Proxmox Servers, you should get better performance speed by doing so and it's easier to setup than SMB / CIFS. Keep up your good work! As always, nice content! Cheers 🍻
Why not to use rsync or scp to copy files between nodes? And why not to join both nodes to single cluster and use live migration minimising downtime time to near zero?
I like how you gave Pi-Hole 4 CPU's and 3GB of ram. Glad to see some more Proxmox stuff though as I have been playing/testing/messing around with Proxmox since your last video on it. I'm interested in the clustering feature, so that's what I am personally going to mess with next!
basically it sounds like i just need to make backups to my synology. decom my current machine, rebuild and restore from network storage. Which type of backup is the safest?
Hello Jeff, I have a 5 TB storage added to a VM , the storage data is only 5 percent used. When i try to backup the VM , backup considers complete 5TB drive, is there a way we can back only the date used not the complete Storage of 5TB. Please advise
Great tutorials/videos Jeff. This particular one has helped me a lot as I need to migrate/upgrade ProxMox on my home/home office network. On the "beer" subject....Not sure where your based but, if you can get it, give "Punk IPA" by Brewdog.
very informative - thank you. One question: how to migrate the Proxmox itself from old ssd to new ssd? I have only one M2 slot so I am not sure how to replace old small ssd to the new one - do I need to reinstall Proxmox from zero on the new SSD and only then restore all VMs?
When I backup my Plex which runs under Ubuntu on Proxmox. The backup also tries to backup my PlexMedia which is a local attached SCSI disk to the VM. How do I remove this disk from the backup cycle. As it's 8TB of movies I don't want to back up each time.
So. Been playing around with Proxmox for a week or two now. already changed hardware configs around and this specific tutorial was really helpful for backing up and restoring the VM's rather than worrying about recreating them. Although I stored my VM's on a CIFS share to my NAS rather than having to worry about FTP. Just mounted the share on the new setup and restored. I tried different compression methods and the slow yet high compression really saves on space but takes around 5 times as long to perform the backup and restore. At least on my setup. I'm only running 1gbt.
Thanks, installed a Proxmox backup server, and 6.1 doesn't list it as an option, so needed to get creative on moving it over to a fresh install of 8. this fits the bill, kudo's!
Has something changed with the add CIFS option? I'm getting an error: create storage failed: error during cfs-locked 'file-storage_cfg' operation: mount error: Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) (500) on Proxmox I setup a user, associated them to a group for proxmox and then associated that group to the SMB Share in Truenas, I'd like to schedule backups, but not getting past this point.
Hello thank you for your video, and i have a question, from the beginning, i install Proxmox on SSD 256gb without raid, is there any option backup to backup Proxmox os just in case my SSD suddenly died, i can restore to new SSD and continue running immediately my server?
I have a proxmox (the only one I have) that the pbs vm on it apparently took a dump, how can I reinstall it and connect it to my existing backups to be able to access them again. My backups were stored on another machine which runs truenas. I have a new I stance of pbs installed (new vm) but can't figure how to link it to the old backups. Or better yet how can I fix my original pbs server? It only gets to the page where it says "welcome to grub" and the backup link has a little question mark since pbs isn't running to create the link.
Jeff, Can Proxmox be installed on a Mac Pro 2010 5,1. I know the dual xenon processors are good just not familiar with the bios on a mac pro. Bought it thinking I would use it as a video processor but really want to take advantage of the multiple storage, dual xenon, 8 ram slots ( even though they are set for triple channel instead of dual ...dumb)
I am going to give it a try even though it is an old video, but can tI seem to be able to find anywhere the answer. If you had attached an extra raw storage to the VM you want to transfer, how you could move that extra storage along since it is not file level but block level device and also can t be backed up individually like the VM itself. I am trying to figure this out for months!!!!!
Is this the same for the newer version of 8.2.2? Secondary question, if I have the backups set manually like this do I need a "proxmox backup server" or is it two of the same thing basically? If/when I do my move should I even bother with P.B.S, and just let the cifs backups do their thing, or should I copy that too? I take it this works for containers and templates too? How can I update a VM template (software updates for example)?
hello sir how can i add storage external usb on proxmox i see you in WINSCP your local storage to me its not so in WINSCP show not local storage thank you
I know this video is old but you just saved me a headache. I have 3 Proxmox servers and 1 truenas server. I was attempting to create a vm on both Proxmox server 1 and 2 and backing up 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 but instead now I’m just backing up all Proxmox servers to my truenas 🤣. I’m new to all of this so thank you.
7:02 Am I wrong to believe that even though the restore includes all settings of the VM, if that VM was using vmbr2 for instance on the original server and now the other proxmox server is using a different kind of vmbr like vmbr0 or maybe that vmbr underneath is a sum of a bond which contains 2 ports in Lasp mode, isnt there going to be an issue? What if the VM had attached a second storage (located on the same server) on the original server? i think these two circumstances would create an issue to the VM.
Backups are so easy to make and restore. I’m sold on virtualization. Before proxmox , I use docker compose and docker containers to run a variety of applications. No more. proxmox makes such things easy to manage from the Web console. I’ll probably still pick up Rancher , but it’s not as necessary as before for my needs.
Good video, one question, which ftp service do you have active, it does not let me access with the root user to the ftp and also does not let me give permissions to another user created
Just from curiosity why didn't you bring 2x NFS Shares on your FreeNAS box. Backup in one of the Shares the old ProxMox VM's and then transfer internally from the freenas CLI the VM's to the other Share and then restore the VM over the new ProxMox box via the NAS Share. Or just use the same Share and de-attach/attach between ProxMox Boxes.
Advantages... smaller footprint. But it's not like the have a large footprint now. Disadvantages, must run same kernel as host, and more difficult to allocate hardware resources (GPU passthrough for PLEX acceleration for example). If you have the resources to run full VMs, I typically recommend running full VMs.
How are your energy bills? I have an R620 which I use a lot. I've considered another server for a cloud gaming platform but my electric bill will spike.
Hmm, why do you need a crap ton of memory and CPU power in a NAS server? Also I run FreeNAS in a VM on Proxmox and have lots of resources on that machine instead. What's the tradeoff here?
Hello Jeff, assuming you don't, if you had a great RAID controller and a bunch of entrerprise quality disks/ssd, would you still use ZFS for the local storage?
Please excuse the stupidity of my question. I am not very savvy on this field. I am currently running home assistant on a proxmox server on an old Lenovo laptop. I want to upgrade the hard drive of the laptop to an ssd. Can I just clone that hard drive to an ssd using my main pc and just drop that ssd in the Lenovo laptop? I really do t to want change anything in settings anywhere if I can help it. Thank you!!!
Thanks for this, it was a life-saver today. I'm often encountering things like this with Proxmox. I'm looking for the 'download/upload' option on those backups but it doesn't exist and you have to fettle with ssh/scp. I'm sometimes surprised they gave us the ISO upload facility!
Jeff, would you be able to provide a tutorial for safe online use of ProxMox? I mean, if I get a dedicated server and I want to use ProxMox, how would I disable public access to proxmox web panel and only allow via OpenVPN? How would I open port for the vms inside to host an apache server, for example, so those VM's would work as "VPS"?
Random question. I have a Gen9 HPE ML350 that was umm donated to me for a home server. Problem is it is currently populated with a few 2.5" SAS drives that won't cut it for my future plans. Would it be more affordable to find the parts to retrofit the ML350 or just build up a rack mounted storage only enclosure?
Gen8 and Gen9 servers can be a bit of a bear.... they typically like only HPE hardware (DIMMs and Drives included). Especially if you're wanting to rack a server, I'd look at something else. If you're cool with it as a tower server, there are ways to make it work for you.
@@Fullion-CA If it's already in rack mode, you can populate it with SSDs and run Proxmox, TrueNAS, Unraid... whichever fits your needs. I know Gen8s and 9s can be picky about memory, so just make sure you get something that is confirmed working in them. If you use the onboard HPE Raid Controller, they can also be picky about wanting HPE drives, but running in IT mode (passthrough to OS) typically allows you to run third party disks with no issues. Or... find a way to sell it and build something yourself. 4U boxes are not difficult to build at all.
I just ending up loosing few of my hairs in migrating from vmware to proxmox at the end need to build entire infra on proxmox, Can you please make a tutorial on how to migrate from vmware professional to proxmox
Hello, thanks for the videos, they are very helpful for proxmox users. I would like to know if you can make a video about the configuration of UPS units for automatic shutdown of virtual machines and proxmox in case of a power failure.

Gen8 and Gen9 servers can be a bit of a bear.... they typically like only HPE hardware (DIMMs and Drives included). Especially if you're wanting to rack a server, I'd look at something else. If you're cool with it as a tower server, there are ways to make it work for you.
@@CraftComputing It's already been converted to rack mode.
@@Fullion-CA If it's already in rack mode, you can populate it with SSDs and run Proxmox, TrueNAS, Unraid... whichever fits your needs. I know Gen8s and 9s can be picky about memory, so just make sure you get something that is confirmed working in them. If you use the onboard HPE Raid Controller, they can also be picky about wanting HPE drives, but running in IT mode (passthrough to OS) typically allows you to run third party disks with no issues.
Or... find a way to sell it and build something yourself. 4U boxes are not difficult to build at all.
Kinda off topic, but where do you get movie and TV shows for your plex. local store are selling pirated copies, are there any online store?
Mine come entirely from local storage. Ripped copies of physical media I own.
What's the ETA for the Clustering video?
Can't wait for the clustering video. When you do that can you show saving snapshots between proxmox clusters? (For DR?)
hi, i never got an answer for my question about chinese x99 boards. do those boards support virtualization like vt-d and vt-x?? thanks
VT-x, Yes.
VT-d, No :-(
When I try WimSCP I get the error "Network Error: Permission denied"... Anybody know how to fix his???
Well DUH!!.. My Windows firewall was blocking the connection.... Another senior moment has struck...
Wow cool, this guy drinks beer.
What a badass
How do you backup Proxmox itself? The host...?
What about migrating with all existing snapshots?
I just ending up loosing few of my hairs in migrating from vmware to proxmox at the end need to build entire infra on proxmox, Can you please make a tutorial on how to migrate from vmware professional to proxmox
Great video, very helpful for setting up my backups. :) How easily can I rename a Proxmox server in case I want to use the same name on new hardware?
Hello, thanks for the videos, they are very helpful for proxmox users.
I would like to know if you can make a video about the configuration of UPS units for automatic shutdown of virtual machines and proxmox in case of a power failure.
great video I really like the step by step explanation,however. wouldn't be easier to rsync the backup files from proxmox to another ,it would saves you the local / NAS copy time
I double clicked on the hair, but it did not undo 🙄
Great job sir 😂👍
Great video Jeff, waiting your video about clustering :). Any plans for a video how better to secure your proxmox servers when they on public IP?
I am planning on doing some network and security videos in the future. Still working out exactly how I want to demo that.
RIP in peace, hair
Good riddance!
Señor, muchas gracias!
Keep pushing!
