Let's Install Proxmox 8.0!

[@KingsOfNerdonia]

Hot tip: If the Proxmox server is connected to the internet (because of system updates, it usually is), the more efficient way of getting ISOs onto the local storage is to paste the URL in to a form and download direct from the internet into the ISO folder. How to do? 8:57 - Copy the URL from ISO-file by right click on "download now"-link and select "copy link address" from the context menu, 9:39 - select "Download from URL" from the ISO images category, paste the URL you've copied before into the URL form and click on query, the system will create a file name, press download. The system will download the ISO file direct onto Proxmox without download to another computer and reuploading again. Very nice feature, I wish Unraid will it become one day too.

I've been using proxmox in my homelab and at work for a couple of years now, and I find this video to be extremely welcoming to new users. Great work Jeff!

Ventoy is a great ISO manager. I use it. Once you write ventoy to the USB stick you just copy/pasta your ISOs onto the USB drive where ever you want. It'll find your isos and put them into a nice list.

I think a video on Proxmox passthrough would be great. Passing through GPUs, but also things like Intel QuickSync. And iGPU sharing.

[@FuzzyKaos]

lol its not that easy.

[@rahulchandra152]

GPU passthrough is easy, but Igpu passthrough is very dependent on how your motherboard is layed out. For example, Igpu passthrough is completely broken on 500 series intel

[@WMartinNI]

Pci and usb pass through is very easy, it's just handled from the hardware tab on the vm. You can even pass through individual hard drives rather than an entire pci controller. My nas is just a zfs volume in a vm (it was originally a bare metal server for everything that I migrated into a vm) and you can pass through individual disks from the command line, even from an hba

[@andrewf1283]

A video on passthrough would be great, as someone who's thinking about going to Proxmox it'd be really informative

[@gyulamasa6512]

@@WMartinNI Yes, but for example SMART is not passed through... ANd as I saw, you cannot start a SMART test in the Proxmox disk manager tab, only the results are shown (however I am also new to this so it is most likely, I did not find the way how to do it)

Glad you got that box all sorted out Jeff, it really does look great. Also, I've taken the Ventoy-pill for all my bootable iso needs. Really, really handy, and so far I haven't found anything it won't boot. I really wish proxmox would allow for at least initial DHCP, that way on a server with multiple nic's, it'd give you an available IP on the nic you have plugged in. That's bit me before. Also, it's me, I forgot the password I typed 5 seconds ago, can confirm, was boned. Very good, no BS tutorial though man. I really appreciate you making these. I don't necessarily need 100% of them, but man is it nice to have a quick reference if I need it. One small note I'd have is, while you can allocate more threads than you can simultaneously execute to a virtual machine, best practice is to not do that as there's a performance penalty of 10% or so with multithreaded workloads that exceed the number of threads available in the hypervisor. In practice, I've found this to be the case but usually just a few percent. If you do a 'deeper dive' video on this, it'd likely be good to touch on how to read the linux 0.01/0.10/1.0 load averages, the newbies always get confused with that. p.s. don't sleep on the turnkey LXC's, they're very, very handy in the homelab for spinning something up to test it out, and turnkeylinux does at least a quasi good job with their config defaults, so even if you want to use something exotic to run SAMBA or whatever, it's nice to have them as a reference.

[@RobFisherUK]

When discovering a new KZbin channel, you're not sure at first how well informed it is. Your explanation of CPU core, memory and disk space sharing convinced me this channel is the real deal: other videos gloss over this stuff. You're also packing the information densely: this is not wasting my time. My mental model of how this stuff works is getting more accurate rapidly. Thanks especially for the bridge explanation. I have a bare metal server with management interfaces on one VLAN and user facing stuff on another VLAN and subnet, and I'm going to want to replicate this when I make it virtual. You've got me started. But a video going over network setups in detail with examples would be welcome. If you've already made one I'll find it shortly!

[@philharris9631]

You absolute darling! You actually cleared up the misconception that *I* was under about how cores and threads are handled by VMs ... I had presumed that you had to fit all your VMs into the total number of threads that your CPU has available... That's it - I now love you forever! 😀

[@JVIce-44]

A company I worked for for about seventeen years did have a monstrous system of physical servers when I started there as a developer but over time this was condensed down to just a few racks by VM Ware. I did use the free version of VM Ware both at work and in my home lab and it was really great firing up a virtual just for some specific task and then shut them down and create another if necessary. Since I retired, I haven't had much call for a VM but it is still a fascinating technology. Until today, I hadn't heard of Proxmox and it sounds very interesting particularly after watching this video which I found extremely well put together and presented. Now I've got the bug again so I think I've found some use for the box under my desk.

Love the vibes and sarcasm. I am a VCP looking at proxmox for the first time after running vmware for 15 years.

To not overprovision is to just waste resources.

I thought the ballooning of memory worked by specifying different minimum and maximum values.

Virtual network cards still need to abide by ethernet negotiation. In the case of the E1000, its a max of 1Gbps. The VirtIO negotiates connections at 100Gbps, and of course that's going to limited by CPU cycles, but it removes an artificial limitation, especially when talking local VMs.

11:38 what if I have an established ssd of windows from before installing proxmox? How/can I skip this and just load that physical ssd? Secondary question: should I set my port on my udm-pro to any specific "primary network", or is setting the ip manually in the proxmox good enough, especially if I might have vland vms in the future?

Thanks for explaning that you can configure more resources that you physically have among VMs. I learned alot about virtualization!

Thanks for a GREAT video! You make it much simpler than I thought! One small note: Ubuntu is pronounced oo-boon-too. It is a word from the isi-Zulu language, one of the 11 official languages of South Africa. Love from South Africa. :-)

A tutorial on how to create a high available ceph cluster in proxmox 8 would be awesome.

[@marcogenovesi8570]

ceph needs 3+ nodes with possibly SSD (best if NVME) storage to have any kind of performance. If you are not made of money it is better to stick with local ZFS pools and use replication jobs.
