Proxmox

Pretty new to proxmos but I've been using the helper scripts to stand up some services quickly. Is it possible to rename some of those services in the proxmox UI to something other than the default it chooses?

I am trying to install and setup proxmox on laptop and use it as daily driver. I want to make network setup that can use both ethernet and WiFi, whichever is available and i want VMs to be able to access LAN because some things dont work otherwise (like NDI). I have writen config file that makes 2 bridges and every VM would have 2 interfaces. I havent installed Proxmox yet because i dont want to mess things up (it wouldn't be first time :) ). My question is does this config look ok and are there some recomendations.

/etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Ethernet interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

# WiFi interface
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual

# Ethernet bridge
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet dhcp
    bridge_ports eth0
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0

# WiFi bridge
auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet dhcp
    bridge_ports wlan0
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0

There is some space next to the British flag. I am going to start working on it

proxmox ZFS uses Systemd boot by default. To switch to grub, run

proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/sda2 grub

Do this for each boot disk. Now you can edit /etc/default/grub and have it actually work

There are two main solutions you can use.

The first one is the quickest and it is to go into storage and create a directory. Set the mount point to a directory of your choice and then choose ISO storage and template storage. I would keep disk storage disabled as directory storage is not good for large data

The second option is to create a NFS share and then mount it in proxmox. This has the benefit of syncing templates across hosts but it does take more setup.

After a weekend of testing on a beater computer, I finally transitioned my media server over to ProxMox yesterday. It was a real trial to get the drives mounted to the VM correctly without erasing them, but an hour of googling got me to a working solution. Now that I’ve had a few hours to experience it all working correctly…

This thing is amazing. It gives me such a technology boner just to look at all the info it puts at your fingertips, plus I’m getting much better performance out of some programs after isolating them. Only complaint is the subscription pop up, but I’ll live.

So if you’ve been on the fence about making the switch like I was, I can definitely say you should do it. This is a ridiculously useful tool for any computer enthusiast.
