Setup your home server for free with Proxmox!

Why don't you use the LVM storage for VMs etc? Isn't that what it's designed for?

[@MotownBatman]

I Need to get my AMD System plugged back in and Attempt Proxmox Again. I have a hard time figuring things out, I need a Video Tutorial so I can pause it 47 times LOL Well Done

2 things I see wrong here - Windows 11 and Chrome.

What’s the spec of your bare metal? What should be a sufficient core count and memory to handle VMs. I think normal desktops cpu can only support 2 drives as motherboard has limited connections

[@NextStepSolutions.solved]

Currently it has a 4 core i5 processor and 16GBs of DDR4 RAM. Depending on the load you intend to put on the server I would probably put at least a 4 core processor for basic things and 24 to 32GBs of RAM, but thats for a very small and simple server.

Local lvm use to store lvm data or whole lvm image? In case we deleted it, where will promox save it?

[@RaduRadonys]

I suppose in the local storage. But what he did is pretty strange, why combine the VM storage with the ISO images, backups, etc? Better to keep them separate, as Proxmox intended, since VM storage is usually the most important in Proxmox.

[@Chris-hy6jy]

Yeah I don't get why he deleted the LVM storage. It's like he thinks you can't use it for storing things?? 🤷‍♂️

Hi, may I ask if I can access locally on the the pc that I already have installed proxmox on without access it through the internet from another computer?

[@NextStepSolutions.solved]

Sadly no, the best way to think of the machine once proxmox is installed is as a node that youre accessing your resources from. There are somethings you can do from the cli on the machine.

[@VaanPanupong]

@@NextStepSolutions.solved which means it's more suitable on server machine than desktop pc/environment?

[@NextStepSolutions.solved]

Correct, but its pretty lightweight so you dont need anything too beefy. Depending on what youre trying to do.

[@VaanPanupong]

@@NextStepSolutions.solved thanks for your reply. This information is very useful and really helps me a lot, cheers bro.

[@RaduRadonys]

@@NextStepSolutions.solved Some things you say? :)) You can do everything on cli that you can do on the web interface + much more! So if you are brave enough and cli experienced, you don't need that GUI at all. On the other hand, since Proxmox is Debian based, you can just install a browser on it and load the interface from the Proxmox machine itself. It's not the easiest task, but it's perfectly possible.
