Hey Tim, I am building my home lab. Thanks for your videos. I notice you have a slight eyelid droop in your left eye. I have ptosis in my right eye following a car accident and mine is much more noticable than yours. Just want to say, you rock man. Phtosis bros unite!

Your Proxmox tutorial was a masterclass in clarity and precision. You took a complex subject and made it feel accessible and logical, like solving a puzzle step by step. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so effectively-your approach is both sharp and inspiring. Great work!

For anyone who, like me, only find their thumb drives when they're not looking for them: Downloading the Proxmox iso on a rooted android phone and then using DriveDroid to boot from the iso on the phone, worked just fine. Oh, and also, your videos are awesome Tim. I'm learning so much! :)

[@TechnoTim]

Nice!

Hey Tim! About that time I also started with Proxmox for private virtualisation! I really enjoy your videos (started with Rancher) and I must say I am enjoying so much that I am rewatching all videos just for kicks! Keep it up!

[@DavidGentry-WebDeveloper]

I love your videos as they are super helpful. My one ask would be to include some kind of pre-requisite list or previous tutorials references to makes sure I have everything required to follow along for the more in-depth videos.

Great content! I would love an in-depth video on Proxmox firewall setup as there are none on KZbin. The forums show that many have problems understanding and setting up the three different firewalls in Proxmox and consequently have connectivity problems. So my suggestion would be that you continue from where you left off in this video. Then set up the host firewall, the node firewall and then lastly the VM firewall so everything is secure, contained and working. Multicast is my main concern, as it really don’t work as it should. As no one has done a video like it I’m sure it would generate a lot of views.

Thank you for your great videos and technical insight! I run molecular dynamics simulations and I finally have a virtual machine that matches a physical machine! WSL, Hyper-V, VMware, etc have all been performance disappointments. Proxmox gives me the flexibility to install new VMs for special projects instead of using a physical machine! Bravo!

[@ianrobertson912]

Thanks for the prxomox series. I have Proxmox on Lenovo Tiny that has one SSD 250GB Kingston. I set it up about a year ago with a new SSD and now my Disk wareout shows 80% (Disks section). What does that mean?. Have I already used 80% of the available write blocks and when it reach 100% SSD life gone? Does this mean using a mechanical HDD is better for proxmox?. What about NVME SSD life. Much appreciate your thoughts. My main question is re what I setting up now. A little more powerful machine to migrate my VMs. In that I have 250GB NVME SSD where I have installed proxmox newly (ver 6.4). Installation is showing 58.07GB as local and 151.63GB as local LVM. I have another 500GB SSD. My question is why is proxmox showing only parts of 250GB NVME space under local LVM. Under Drivers section I can see both 250GB and 500GB. How do I add the second hard drive to resource pool or how can I make use of it to create VMs and also use to save backups. I am planning to add 7200RPM 1TB HDD too to the system. Need to understand how to do it. From your other videos I can see you have several drives in your set up but did not come across any explanation as to how you configure them etc to use in Proxmox. Thanks in advance for the assistance

[@Patriot7619D]

Hi Tim, great video series I've really enjoyed it. Use VMware at work and loving that Proxmox fills the same role without the $$$... I have several Ubuntu servers that I've always wanted to virtualize. Been playing (breaking) with Proxmox building clusters, vm's, datastores, etc... so I have a thorough understanding before virtualizing my server environment. So my question is about when installing Proxmox you have the option to choose the filesystem (ext3 ext4 xfs or zfs). I am familiar with ext3 and 4 and have read up a little bit about xfs and zfs (just an FYI, I understand the raid levels associated with zfs), but what is the ramifications of choosing each of these for Proxmox...? Also, what is the default filesystem that is used if one isn't chosen and you take the defaults when installing? And lastly if you were to use different versions within a cluster what are the ramifications?More info: Currently I'm using Dell Optiplex 7040's with single disks but planing on buying a couple used PowerEdge servers.

[@KungFuMojo]

When you're inputting IP into browser, are you doing it on a different PC? You can't use the actual ProxMox computer? It just gets stored away like a server?

[@TechnoTim]

I am using it form a different PC.

[@TMavC5]

Hey Tim, I'm new to virtual servers and getting back to Linux and wanting to get into it. I have a question for you. Going to switch from server base to Virtual for my DL380 with 8 bays for 600GB. Should I set up with two ARRAY or set the entire bay with one ARRAY?

[@kennethbobu3989]

Hi Tim! You said nothing else gets installed on the drive where you install ProxMox, so should that essentially be a tiny SSD? And if so, where do you install the various OSs of the virtualized machines then? Or, should I install ProxMox on a 1T drive, and then have the virtualized machines sitting on the same drive. Thanks for your advice!

[@jeffchan6614]

Hi Tim, just want to let you know that I've learned a lot from your videos!!! Keep them coming. I now have a physical server but not sure what to do.... Can you please recommend? Physical Server Specs: Xeon E5 2620 2.0Ghz 32GB Memory 10 x 3 TB Harddrives (NOT solid state) How do I setup the virtual drives, use the RAID controller of the hardware or do the RAID5/6 in ProxMox? I will be using it as a lab. How do I setup the drives/storage? I'm having trouble setting up storage in Proxmox. These are the storage that I need: 1. 250GB - ProxMox OS 2. 500 GB - ISO’s 3. 1 TB - storage, files, any files 4. The rest of the 30TB - VM storage Thanks so much!

[@TechnoTim]

Hi. I have some recommendations for machines in the description of this video. I would choose software RAID for proxmox (ZFS).

[@trebbia77]

Hiii first thanks a lot for all your videos and guide, I just use hypervisor type 2 in the past and I was curios to know if is possible access the host server on the same machine, I mean in your video you use a browser to access the server from a different pc, is that something you must do the first time or is the only way to access the server? I'm sure this must be silly question but I don't know a lot that's why....thanks in advance for you help

Hi Tim, Big fan here I been watching your videos quite a lot. I have installed proxmox based on everything you teach but I don’t want to use my Ethernet but rather want to use wifi. Could you please help me down? Thank you

Hello. So I finally decided to start homelabing. Im waiting for a lenovo m720 q to arrive. Question, do i have to remove windows first before i can install proxmox?

[@camerontgore]

Don't forget to set the option to DD instead of ISO of you use Rufus to create your boot drive, as something with the ISO option breaks the install GUI

Thanks for this video and all other videos you make Tim! I'm going to build a small VFX studio server. I will install Proxmox on Dell r630. I need to choose between more cores less frequency or opposite? I need to choose between 2643v3 and 2660v3. What would you recommend?

[@TechnoTim]

[@fotografm]

That worked fine ! Thank you for your tutorial :-) I would love it if you would make a tutorial showing how to install Jitsi meet on Ubuntu server running on Proxmox or on Proxmox direct. (please please please).

[@nostalgiacade]

So, once I have proxmox flashed to my USB using etcher, does it matter if I install proxmox to an external SSD? and can I run my OS's from the same SSD? Like, could I have proxmox on an external SSD and still be able to run an os on the same thing? or is proxmox literally just going to virtualize it and just use that drive as storage? I am pretty new to hypervisors like this and this seems to be the part of the process that I can't seem to wrap my head around.

[@jakethomas1572]

Great video! So I have 2x500GB SSDs I was going to set up mirrored for the Proxmox OS drive. Is there not way to utilize these for other things as well, like VMs? or when I install proxmox on them, they can't have anything else on them?

[@didnthurt4077]

Great guide! Just what i need. I was fiddeling with VMware/Virtualbox and see myself so limiited with no proper GPU passthrough option. This Proxmox looks like its what i've been looking for. Will check all your guides when i have more time ツ As for the CPU, do you still need one that supports VT-d or can i run Proxmox with VT-x just fine? Thanks!

[@TechnoTim]

You're welcome! If you want to support hardware passthrough, you'll need to make sure your CPU and motherboard support vt-d or the AMD equivalent.

[@didnthurt4077]

@@TechnoTim thanks for the clarification. One thing i still dont quite grasp about proxmox, can i install it on a ordinary gaming rig and also switch to normal windows when i dont want to run proxmox or does it need to be on its own dedicated pc/server?

[@TechnoTim]

Proxmox is a Debian based Linux system so you would either need to dual boot or build a workstation that passed through all your hardware to a guest that you can use as a desktop. I don’t recommend this though unless you know that’s what you want 😀

[@obfuscateidentity2329]

Tim. I added a physical drive after Installing to USB. How do I get the new (used) drive to work with Proxmox. It was a ESXi data drive . Do I have to reformat before I can How to reformat and connect up to Proxmox?

[@sumitmamoria]

Very nice video! Is there any of your videos where you talk about how to access all the VMs on the host via local domain names instead of their respective IPs ?

[@GunnyPhillips]

Hello and thanks for this great video. I'm pretty tech savvy but completely new to virtualization. Forgive me if I'm missing something basic but it looks like Proxmox needs to be installed on a dedicated PC that will always boot into that OS? I was hoping it could run in the background on my regular Windows 10 PC. Is this possible and/or advisable?

[@TechnoTim]

Hey there! Thank you! No worries. Proxmox comes with an OS (Debian) and should run on a dedicated machine. If you have an old machine that supports virtualization, install it on that! Thanks for stopping by!

[@TheRealGregKnight]

Tim, I am having a problem with ProxMox and Raidz. It seems like I am getting a 60% increase in storage usage then what I am actually putting in the VM. IE, VM disk is 7.7gb and ZFS drive is bloated to 12.15gb used on a ZFS thin provision drive. And this is the only thing on the ZFS drive. Are you using ZFS for your container, Image storage or something else?

Hey... one thing I don't get up to now. What if I have an old pc wth 1 TB ssd. I want to use this pc for proxmox. I get that the install drive for proxmox can't be used for anything else. So... , what if I start with making 3 or 4 partitions and then install proxmox on the first partition. In my mind this should be working as the first drive is the proxmox drive and the 3 other partitions should be available for putting my iso's and vm's. Would this methode be working in case of proxmox ? Or do I really have to use two physical drives in that computer?

Hey Tim. After hitting 1:26 Proxmox Install it keeps saying testing again in 5 seconds until i get the error no cdrom found. Do you have any idea?

Hi Tim, I have another question if you would please to help, it's as follows: Typically, when installing Proxmox in server/desktop PC, we use another PC/laptop to manage Proxmox server/desktop PC via Ethernet connection... But if I installed Proxmox on the very my own laptop and don't have another PC/laptop to manage it, how can I use a web browser in the same laptop (which has Proxmox) to manage it and install VMs of choice? Appreciate your help!!!

[@TechnoTim]

Proxmox is an OS, so not sure this is possible with a laptop since you only have one video output.

Do no use rufus to create this USB boot drive. Hot tip for anyone interested. I was installing Proxmox on an IBM X3620 m3 last night and Rufus did not work to create the boot drive properly.

[@cataMailman]

HELP! :( I followed the instructions and the server is running fine. However, I can't use my Windows PC (or any windows pc on the network) to log into the proxmox web gui (I can work around it by using a linux vm that runs on my windows machine but that is a pain to do every time). When connecting to the ip (in all kinds of browsers with cleared cache etc.), I get "This site can’t provide a secure connection" without the option to continue to the site anyway. I've tried various guides on how to deal with that problem but the problem persists.

[@JoeyBaby47]

Can you partition the drive that Proxmox is going to be installed on? If not, that is incredibly inconvenient.

[@TechnoTim]

I don't believe so. Might have to check the docs. Many hypervisors want their own disk.

Why should I run Proxmox for VMs and Dockers instead of something like CentOS Stream with KVM and dockers? is there a specific advantage to this approach? CentOS has Cockpit available for it now for headless management over the network. However, it does seem like Proxmox would be faster to start new VMs... Just trying to learn.

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 you help....thanks

Nothing can reside on the SSD that you install Proxmox on ?

[@TechnoTim]

I wouldn’t. It’s debian under the covers.

[@hamhumtube]

thank you boss. one question though. chrome is not saving proxmox password and frankly it is annoying that constantly entering password in my local network. how can i avoid this login box?

[@TechnoTim]

Check the check box?

[@brokenthought1102]

I am actively trying to setup proxmox and I keep getting "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" or similar across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. I followed all steps to the letter. I've tried the default ip that proxmox gives as well as reserving and using an ip I know is available. I'm not sure how to fix it. can you help me?

[@TechnoTim]

Are you using their iso?

[@brokenthought1102]

@@TechnoTim I am, I also figured out the problem. Sorry for the delayed response, YT didn't tell me I had gotten a response.

Yep me too cant get to the gui maybe firewall is blocking port 8006

I want to install Proxmox on my SSD but can i partition that to use like 20GB for proxmox and the other 200gb for vm's? I'ld like to use my 1tb and 2tb hdd's for storages and isos

[@YasarHabib]

I have the exact same question, I have 2 x 256 gb SSDS. I'd like to allot 20gb from one of the drives to Proxmox and use the remainder ~ 236gb for vm's.

[@TechnoTim]

This should work fine after installing proxmox, you should have disk leftover you can use

[@noz3m]

@@TechnoTim alright thanks for your reply. If I want to re partition it or make the proxmox Installer partition smaller do I need to do a reinstall or can it be done via the web interface?

[@aaronmathewson5522]

“Open a browser, and go to the IP address…” How do you open a browser on the machine you just installed Proxmox on? It’s command line so I don’t see that working… also why would you need to navigate to its own IP? Ok, now that I have that out of the way… I know you meant to open it from another PC with its own OS on it… I just had to poke at it. 😜

Hey is it possible to have a proxmox workstation.

[@TechnoTim]

I think there are a few ways to do this! I would love to do a video on this if I only had the extra hardware...

[@Newtrojan]

Techno Tim if you could scavenge something 😊. Thanks anyways 👍🏻👍🏻 great content.

[@hankaasen995]

is a athlon II x4 641 a good option for a proxmox server

[@TechnoTim]

If it supports virtualization, IOMMU, and has at least 4 cores it should be fine!

[@TheDusty056]

Thanks

[@TechnoTim]

Welcome! Thank you!

[@HagaseUS]

hi do you have video for remove promox in machine? thanks

[@TechnoTim]

Hi. What are you trying to do?

[@Lukas-gn5yf]

didn't you forget to set up the disk ?

[@TechnoTim]

Isn't that what kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYC5koqXprRll7c&t=97 is?

[@Lukas-gn5yf]

@@TechnoTim no inside of proxmox you have the set up the disks if you have more than just your boot drive which I think you had.

looks like you might be ready for this Looks like you are ready for this kzbin.info/www/bejne/faC9koCdesylftk

[@thomaspotterdotexe]

Can I use only one disk and pc desktop as a server?

[@TechnoTim]

With lots of configuration, yes, but why not 2?

[@carlosalmanzar2775]

So can/should I load proxmox inside Windows?

[@TechnoTim]

No, proxmox is an OS, like Windows, but you can virtualize Windows (and more) inside

[@carlosalmanzar2775]

@@TechnoTim you are Awesome, Tim I just bought my server to follow along with your vidz. Super excited. The server came with windows and word and I don't want to lose that image. That's why I was asking if I can run in windows.

[@Hcruz487]

Love Techno Tim's content but im running into problems I'm hoping someone could help me with. Following the instructions that techno tim provides yet every time I attempt to install it, it fails saying "unable to partition/ dev/sda"

[@TechnoTim]

maybe try different installation media?

[@Hcruz487]

@@TechnoTim like a different usb? If so I tried that. I could try to burn it to a *shutter* cd and see if it boots up. I just need to find one. I also tried reflashing both USB'S I'm going to try to install Linux mint or at least boot from it a see if I could format the ssd I'm trying to install it on. It should be worth noting that originally installed windows server on that ssd which I'm attempting to run as a vm.

[@Hcruz487]

@@TechnoTim so progress! I tried a different os and I got the same result. Swapped out the ssd with a new one and I was able to install proxmox. Now.... I can't connect to the web gui or ping it. I think the proxmox gods are either messing with me or testing me.

[@Hcruz487]

Bad news: so my old server was Frankensteined together with parts I had. Turns out the on board nic for the msi b150m was not supported. :( hence no internet connection. Good news: this gave me an excuse to get a real server. I went with a dell poweredge r710 and after some fiddle around I got proxmox up and working!
