Proxmox VE is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality, on a single platform. With the integrated web-based user interface you can manage VMs and containers, high availability for clusters, or the integrated disaster recovery tools with ease.
ESXi free - possible to use Proxmox import wizard?
Not finding a lot of info on using Proxmox import wizard to extract VMs from an ESXi free license host. I can add the host as storage and see the VMs but it looks like it's failing afterwards due to possibly some kind of rate limit error? But I know the free version API is either closed or not available. Any ideas? Thanks!
PVE update: Removable bootloader found at ...
Went through pve update today and had a message saying
Removable bootloader found at '/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi', but GRUB packages not set up to update it! Run the following command:
echo 'grub-efi-amd64 grub2/force_efi_extra_removable boolean true' | debconf-set-selections -v -u
Then reinstall GRUB with 'apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64'
To anyone facing this message: donβt forget! See here in the Proxmox forums
How to install Tailscale in a Proxmox 8.2 LXC Container
I recently needed to set up Tailscale in an AlmaLinux 9 LXC container running on my Proxmox 8.2 server. Following the official instructions from Tailscale's RHEL 9 guide and even trying their Linux install script, I ran into some issues. The main problem turned out to be missing TUN device support in the LXC container.
I had to edit the LXC container configuration on the Proxmox host:
undefined
nano /etc/pve/lxc/<container-id>.conf
And add these lines:
undefined
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 10:200 rwm lxc.mount.entry: /dev/net/tun dev/net/tun none bind,create=file
