Hi Tim, I have just watched your video and note two things, first the background music, although at a low volume was incredibly annoying (incredibly), second the video was was very useful. Please remedy #1 before I watch any more of your videos, thanks, Anon. PS: I stopped watching at around 8 minutes, so no comment after this point.!
Using proxmox for the first time and I am a noob, I come back to your videos when I feel like I did something wrong and I can fix it from watching your video
I have been a regular consumer of your content since this video, it's one of the best tutorials out there!!! Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the fantastic and helpful video! Your Proxmox VE series has been incredibly useful to get up and running. Great content and production too - keep up the amazing work!
Linux guy here with a couple tips: instead of typing out "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade" you can actually use carrots so after typing out "sudo apt-get update" you can then do " ^update^upgrade " This works for any command. Also when upgrading the base OS use "dist-upgrade" on a debian based system. this allows package upgrades without holding back packages (which hold back your updates) and can even turn your Ubuntu install into a psuedo rolling release
@@TechnoTim np, I'm only just now getting into the homelab game but terminal quick tips are something I'm good for. In additon btw if you ever type "systemctl enable" in one command then typing out "systemctl start" in another you can shortcut them both with just "systemctl enable --now" I got that one from Leonnat Pottering himself
@@nevoyu if you're seeing issues with held back packages, wouldn't you want to do 'apt list --upgradable', then upgrade the held back packages one at a time, so as not to end up in broken dependency hell?
That worked fine ! Thank you for your tutorial :-) One thing I had to do because Proxmox could not format my sdb drive to store ISOs (wasn't a very fresh ssd) was to use sgdisk -Z /dev/sdb to clean /dev/sdb and then format it. After that it worked fine.
Great content here ! Many thanks man ! It' s difficult understand some things for me cause I from Brazil..but..rss but making some efforts ...fantastic ..thank you ! I use Debian distros but ubuntu servers have their place !
Hi Tim great tutorial. I do need some help with copy and paste. after installing ubuntu on proxmox I have tried to install docker to get a cloudflare tunnel set up, but when I copy the docker commands I cannot paste these into the VNC window. I have tried Ctrl+V, Ctrl+shift+V and Ctrl+insert, I even tried installing some other application from another tutorial but ended up crashing my ubuntu program. I am a complete noob and only managed to get this far by following your guide step by step. Can you help Regards Steve
sudo systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent sudo systemctl status qemu-guest-agent # this prevents having to reboot also sometimes the correct netplan doesnt get applied on ubuntu server. this can be solved by manually applying the netplan. this happens because the name of the device gets changed. ie enps0 becomes enps1
Is there a reason why you keep all the uploaded ISO's? After creating the VM, I can delete the uploaded ISO to save up space, right? It's just like an USB stick after installing.
Just one thing towards the end when you use ipcinfig i got error need net-tools installed to see ip address just a point thanks for all your help you are one of my main go toos Raspeckett
Great video as always - I followed it and went on to install docker. Then homer but I got into difficulty where the container could write to the assets file - now i'm stuck
Thank you very much for this video. I am a novice in virtualisation. I have installed my first Ubuntu server as virtual machine based on this video on my 500 GB SSD drive. I used 32 GB for this virtual machine. Also I have classic 2TB HDD that I would like to attach to this virtual machine where I would like to have Nextcloud data. Can you please explain (show) how to add it in Proxmox and connect to virtual machine? After that I can handle mount this 2TB drive in Ubuntu server. Thank you.
Running Ubuntu as LXC container is a more efficient way as overhead, especially memory overhead, is much lower. However, don't use the Proxmox Ubuntu container template because I've had a lot of issue with it. Using the LXC official Ubuntu template is such a joy!
What is the best method to assign a static IP to the vm? Would we use qemu? I had to reboot my vm and it spun up with a new IP, I could not access Rancher or my Pi-hole instance due to this. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
I also was thinking about it after watching the video. I feel like CT should be a default way to go unless you need a different Kernel or virtualized hardware.
I use Virtualbox >Proxmox>Ubuntu, installed like in this tutorial, I have IP, can ping google, but apt-get update, upgrade or install stuck on 0%, any ideas???
Hi Tim, with the latest Windows 10 2004 version you can install WSL and have a virtual Ubuntu 20.04 shell running in Windows 10. Does this mean you can SSH directly from Windows 10 to your Ubuntu server? Also does it mean you can install Docker etc within the Ubuntu you are running in Windows 10? Would love to see a video on WSL and Ubuntu shell in Windows 10. Cheers.
Yes and yes. I have a guide one this :) It's for setting up your Windows PC for development but it uses the same tools. Terminal, WSL, and Ubuntu. That's also what I use in all my videos. I create them on a Windows PC and SSH into my Ubuntu servers. I also have Docker running on my Windows machine but don't use it for anything other than testing out custom code I write in Docker containers. See this video for a setup guide th-cam.com/video/kL8iGErULiw/w-d-xo.html
Is it really necessary for a server to have 20GB HDD? The reason I'm asking this, is the real question, with all those containers you have, do you need an out-of-the life computer, or would it be possible to run it, for instance, on an old laptop (i7, 32GB ram, 2 TB HDD)?
Just starting with home lab and hypervisor but noticed you gave your VM all the cores on your physical machine. I thought you could only give out to your running VMs and host cpu no more than 100% physical cores
I also thought that was weird. In VMWare, witch is differendt, allthoug also based on linux, if a guest that has allocated all processors need to process a single calculation it has to wait for all cpu's to be ready. So potentially if two vm's is doing some small calculation requiring one cpu each they will only be able to do calculations every other cycle, hence the speed will be as if you only got a one-core cpu (except it has more cache). -But it could be that it is different in proxmox... -But I would not give a VM more then half of the virtual CPU's.
is there a way from the web interface, to specify that for our server we want to use a block device? Let's say that we want our machine to use a full SSD, is there a way to specify such scenario?
@@TechnoTim interesting, I hadn't thought of that (but I am newbie) could that device we pass through be than used as the boot device? What I would like to achieve is to use that SSD for the virtual machine itself (to install the guest os onnit) rather than just make it visible to the VM after the VM has been installed elsewhere.
i allocated 100gb to my vm but it says i only have 40gb available, do i need to expand the filesystem? How is that done on ubuntu server. Its so easy on a raspberrypi
Hi, It's not the focus of your video (which by the way is awesome - everything I do with proxmox is from your videos!) I can see that you have an error message in your console "Error: Failed to run vncproxy". I get that error message too and have no idea what it means (I guess it's from the host system). Everything seems to work though ...
I think you get that if you click on the console tab while the machine is shut off. It's expected (since it can't VNC into machine that is off) but odd they show it as if you should care. Thank you!
Whenever I create a virtual server, installation seems to go fine but after prompted to login and trying to ping, i get no results and cannot update the system at all, what can cause that?
@@TechnoTim Clarification, this isn't hosted on my house, I've bought a dedicated server from Wholesale located in Kansas, as per your question I dont, even network/interfaces are point blank after a fresh installation.
@@TechnoTim yes i have the guest agents as for drivers arent they built into the kernel i changed the software i use to remote into my linux vm's to nomachine and that gets audio but xrdp and team viewer along with other ways to remote in dosn't get audio i am useing linux mint 20

Those specs would be perfectly fine and you can think provision the hard drive too (it will grow up to 20GB)
Just starting with home lab and hypervisor but noticed you gave your VM all the cores on your physical machine. I thought you could only give out to your running VMs and host cpu no more than 100% physical cores

There is! You just need to passthrough the hardware to the guest.

You can pass the entires drive through to the guest OS and install a clean OS on it, no problem
