    @@christianlempa If you don't mind a suggestion, I'd love for there to be some actual documentation for people wanting to get RoCE or iWARP working with common stuff like iSCSI or SMB. Currently the only 'easy' way to get RDMA for a homelabber is Windows with SMB Direct or by using BTRFS, but nothing for TrueNAS or Proxmox. Would be a super big leap forward to have a big creator talking about the benefits RDMA offers, especially in a virtualization environment.

    Hey Christian! First of all great channel, and thanks for such great videos! I am a Proxmox user for more than 8 years now, and most of the things you summarized in this video are really a must do. One thing I would recommend is setting up a VM in Proxmox, and connect primers to the Proxmox server and pass them through, if your VM is Linux for example, you can share those printers using CUPS and you will have the printers easily available for any device within your network without the need to even install them or configure it. I have done it, and I am able to print from Linux desktop, Windows desktop, Mac desktop, iPhones and iPads by simply using network printer, no driver hassle or ant other shannanigans! I hope this helps and also you can use this idea for your environment. Cheers!

    Awesome video! Quick tip to keep things organized for VMs and CTs is make use of resource pools. I have few pools but most common are Production, non-production and testing. I use them to create different backup jobs so it don't waste alot of time backing up CTs/VMs when it only needs to be backed up few times a week or weekly. Plus when you create new CTs/VMs you can specify which pool to put it under.

    Nice to have all those tips, I instantly added some of those to my proxmox environment. One addition: I've read, that you should select the CPU type "host" instead of the default selected "x86-64-v2-AES" when creating a VM. It simply performs better.

    What I always do, just a small thing, I disable 'Use tablet for pointer' on each VM. I just like to disable things I don't need. For the certificate section, I created my own self signed certificate valid for 10 years. Since I'm only using it in my local network environment and it's not exposed to the internet. Downside is that I need to install the root certificate on each device I access the web portal from. But it has to be done once only of course 😉 Great video Christian!

    Our main virtualization expert at work gave a REALLY great explination of CPU provisioning. One thing to keep in mind is that the numbrer of VCPU's assigned to a vm the CPU needs to have free and not already allocated to another vm in the QUE. For example if you assign 8 cores to a VM it would need 8 cores not already que'd to another VM. Even if the task the VM needs to run is a small task and doesn't require all 8 cores at that time it still needs to have the number of CPU cores available and not already allocated to another VM in the que. This means that a lot of times VM's that are over provisioned will actually run worse and lowering the number of CPU cores can actually increase performance. I am not sure how to see que times in Proxmox but this was an issue we were seeing at work with some of our VMware servers but the concept is still the same.

    Good timing. I have a Minisforum MS-01 sitting next to my desk that will be my first ever Proxmox host, but the RAM doesn't arrive til Monday I think, and the WD N700 2TB SSDs I ordered were on back order, so they're not supposed to get here til Wednesday. The first thing I want to do with it is stand up a Debian VM to serve as my Docker host, and move all my Docker containers off my Synology NAS onto there. I am however a tad leery about the virtualized storage, as I just don't know if I like the stuff being wrapped up in virtual disks with snapshots backed up to the NAS, as opposed to backing up the actual files themselves to the NAS, then backing them up offsite to Backblaze B2 or something. Can you speak to this? Like... if I have snapshot backups and Proxmox gets hosed, if I setup Proxmox again will restoring those snapshots work?

    Christian you say you order a certificate and then the certificate warning disappears in the browser. But do these certificates autorenew yearly? Are they permanent certificates different from SSL certificates in being TLS certificates? I have a blockchain running inside a docker image and it needs a loop to restart the blockchain and rewrite a private key because the ssl certificate has to regularly be renewed, so that when it is renewed the blockchain is restarted to prevent dodgy handshake messages even though the blockchain ports ae secure, are you saying that I can use a TLS certificate once off, rather? So that I don't have to put my blockchain on a loop to restart so that I regenerate a new private key related to the SSL certificate. I' m not sure how it's different, the tls certificate from the ssl.

    That's one of the advantages of the ACME protocol, which allows a simple and easy way to issue, and renew certs. Letsencrypt certs usually expire after 90 days, if that happens the daily update daemon in Proxmox will automatically try to renew them.

    @@christianlempa I see. The NXT blockchain clone has a privkey that should be auto-updated if the cert is renewed, and the blockchain restarted. I wonder if I will still need to use a loop in docker to fix this problem because the blockchain keystore is a copy of the privkey from the cert and the blockchain needs to be restarted if it is changed for it to take effect. Hopefully I will figure it out sometime, but I see the problem is still there. There is a bash command I insert in the dockerfile to renew the blockchain's key and restart the blockchain container. But this solution will be great for the DNS resolution for nodes, the command will rely on seeing if the date of the cert has changed to 'refresh the blockchain' image / restart.

    19:17 One thing against using a VM as your storage server is if you are backing up your VM(s) to that VM. If that server gpes down, you can't access the backup.

    That's right. But I think the situation would be either a VM has a problem, which I can restore from that backup. Or when the backup VM has a problem, then the other VMs would be still running, so I have enough time to repair it. If everything fails, well, you're screwed anyway :D

    'apt full-upgrade' is just 'apt dist-upgrade' with the package cache being cleared when done. Proxmox discourages 'apt upgrade' because it will not install additional packages if required when updating installed packages.

    Schlag mich nicht, aber ich hätte gerne Proxmox auf einem "alten" MacBook Air (2019) zum Laufen gebracht. Vor allem wegen der Energiesparsamkeit. Den Akku hätte man ja vorab noch abklemmen können, damit durch's ständige Laden keine Gefahr besteht. Für die paar Anwendungen die ich dafür habe, wäre die Kiste völlig ausreichend. Und man könnte die Kiste sogar auf Reisen bequem mitnehmen. Aber leider bin ich an den Apple Treibern gescheitert. Apple selbst hat keine public und die die es gibt, taugen nicht viel. Wenn jemand eine Lösung kennt, lasst es mich wissen. Sollte man die Kiste vielleicht einfach verkaufen? Und dafür ein dedizierten Proxmox Server kaufen? Wenn ja, welche Hardware? Bin überfordert. Hauptsache flott, leise, und sparsam.
