THANK YOU SO MUCH for this!! No one else explained how to make better use of the single hard drive. My hard drives are 2TB SSDs and I certainly didn't want the rest of a drive to go to waste for that. You definitely have a new fan and a new subscriber!

the HDD resize is an issue i wasn't even aware of and FINALLY someone solved it. Thanks a bunch mate, really helpful

You are a lifesaver for the hard drive resize explanation. Im new and learning and could not figure out how to get the full hard drive space available. Earned a sub for being easy to follow and great content. Thank you!

I've been banging my head for quite a while about how to setup storage on a single drive for a test install of Proxmox . Thank you for clarifying this!

what a great series. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for this video. It helped me on a test machine. I'm testing pfsense, pi-hole and gaucamole in proxmox and just had a single drive installed and was way too lazy to get another drive off the shelf! 😉

Great tip on setting up storage on the same disk. I'm setting up a homelab with a single 1 tb disk and was hoping there was a way to utilize the full disk space for VM storage. I've subscribed and will be checking out your other videos.

You guys are brilliant!!! You my a$$ lol. I have neveer found a better channel for Proxmox. I am so glad I found you. I am very new to Hypervisors. I am moving to a company where they use hyper-V, which is why I am setting this lab on R720 Poweredge to learn and test. My goal is to install proxmox on the baremetal and then, nested Hyper-V within Proxmox. Any video links for this kind of set up would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!!!

Thank you very much! I don't think I have any videos currently on nested virtualization in ProxMox (I do have one for Hyper-V) but it's on the (growing) list of video topics to cover!

Very well done. New subscriber.

this doesn't seem to be working anymore. First command returns " Volume group "pve" not found \ Cannot process volume group pve"... or am I missing something? I do however have Proxmox installed on a ZFS raid01, perhaps the command is different for mine

hi, thanks for this guide. I am getting the following error when executing resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root resize2fs: bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/pve-root couldn't find vaild filesystem superblock edit: I overlooked the fact that i used XFS instead of ext4 during installation, I had to use: xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/pve-root

Hello. I didn't understand why to delete local-lvm. Virtual machines are quietly installed on it initially. Just so that the "Summary" line "HD space" displays the full free space? 🤔

if i have 2 drives, 1 for installing proxmox how to use another drive as it is ?

Won't it cause any security issues, when you deleting pve/data LV and mount everything to pve/root ?

The first two Linux commands were successful but the last one "resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root" gave me an error and of course, don't see that storage space merged/added from local-lvm into local as it does in the video. My ProxMox drive is formatted in XFS. Please help

New to Proxmox just installed fresh 7.1 went through the setup everything went fine but after reboot the server does not connect to the network any help is appreciated.

Since ProxMox requires a static IP address, I would check in your router to make sure that this IP isn't leased to another machine. Was it connecting to the network before the restart? Have you tried restarting again? What is the output of the following command: ip a

@@h2dc that was my exact thought as well so I used a second router with only two devices the server and my laptop and same issue. What is strange it originally worked fine till I had to shut it down to move and for some odd reason networking does not auto start. I even reinstalled proxmox and same results.

@h2dc

At that point, I'd start troubleshooting at the hardware level to rule out failures. You said that it was moved, so perhaps the NIC was jostled just a bit out of the socket, or perhaps damaged. If the NIC is a in a PCI slot, you should open the server up and reseat the card, or if you have a spare around, try swapping it out. You could also pick up a cheap USB Ethernet adapter from Amazon to use to test with. Also make sure to try different cables as well.

Hi @David! Generally to access the WebUI, you'll use a different computer that's on the same network as your ProxMox machine. Open a web browser and then go to [proxmox IP]:8006 ex: 192.168.1.200:8006 remember that, since we're defining what port we're using (8006 in this case) that it's very important you make sure to put https instead of http at the beginning. The username will be root and the password will be the password you set up earlier in the install.

thankyou for responding..... I just want to mention for clarity.. I am installing this on my dell Intel single Laptop (not desktop) I did everything as you mentioned in your comments....I get stuck at "root@pve:^#".... i cant move forward from here on...I tried connecting with another laptop via chrome browser, but it would give error page loading.... so i am not sure what exactly wrong am i doing here...Or, is proxmox not suitable for laptops...I liked Proxmox over virtual box and fusion, so i stepped in.. my purpose - i just want to install Montrey on my windows laptop having multiple OS (windows 11 & MacOs).... how can this work.....thanks for your help

Sorry to hear it's still not working. ProxMox should be able to run on a laptop, but the use case you're describing here doesn't sound like it is going to suit your needs (without heavy modification). You'll want to look into either Dual booting (running 2 OSes and booting into one at a time) or you simply want to install an OS and then run a Type 2 Hypervisor (like VmWare Player or Oracle Virtualbox) to run the second OS simultaneously underneath the first. ProxMox is what's called a Type 1 Hypervisor, usually implemented for use as a server operating system rather than a machine to be used for personal computing. Also, MacOS is notoriously hard to emulate, and I'm not sure if it can be installed to your laptop (you'll want to research making what's called a "hackintosh").

thanks again... Dual booting - are you suggesting open core or clover.. Type 2 hypervisor - yeah it does the job...but really not satisfied with performance Type 1 hypervisor - it sounded great, but unfortunate for personal computing.... that's sad... anyways, thanks for taking the time......

Literally months wasted because i couldn't find this specific setup. I wanted to run a cheap and simple docker media server and home-assistant OS but didn't have additional machines, and adding home assistant on docker meant no addons. Plus pi-hole and zerotier bridge needed more machines again. It was a messy situation and proxmox was the answer but this disk resizing thing was something i couldn't figure out since i was running a single disk server anyways.
