Proxmox 8.1 Virtual Environment on Lenovo x3650 M5 - 1347
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- In this video I put Proxmox 8.1.3 on my good Lenovo x3650 M5 and do a bit of updating, plus get rid of the annoying subscription notice :
Get you own Proxmox right here : proxmox.com/
The line of code that removed the Subscription Notice:
sed -Ezi.bak "s/(Ext.Msg.show\(\{\s+title: gettext\('No valid sub)/void\(\{ \/\/\1/g" /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js && systemctl restart pveproxy.service
The reason for trying Proxmox again, is the announcement from Broadcom, that VMWARE will from now and going forward, only be on a subscription plan.

For 3$ a month, you get an extra weekly "What's UP" update video. Just for my Patrons. The Support I resave on patreon is all used on stuff to make interesting videos on RUclips.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.
Proxmox works very well, I guess you might have some bias towards vmware in how the ui should be. I understand that, I also switched from VMware to Proxmox a couple of years ago 😊
I have tried more than onces!!
This might be as close to trying to stop smoking as I will ever get :-) (I have never smoked)
Finally, a proper hypervisor.😛😛
Once every major setting is available in the web ui, it's proper, otherwise there's too much linuxing involved :P
But yes, it's a nice product, I enjoy the freedom it provides, although some stuff is not as intuitive as the competition (hyper-v, esxi, xcp-ng).
ESXi is also running on linux ??
@@MyPlayHouseYes, it is.....or rather it is not based on Linux Kernel but some things are in common.....anyway it uses an own VMware proprietary kernel (the VMkernel).....and software, and it misses most of the applications and components that are commonly found in all Linux distributions.....
Morten - Ventoy , as i know you use , also works fine with proxmox install 👍
I forgot that,, it is on my keychain ...
And if you want to go usb faster put it onto a usb to sata connector and attach a SSD drive.
Very happy with Proxmox (I'm not a server / VM expert at all) Have a full system running for a museum on a old Dell server with next to it a Proxmox backup server. And OpenMediaVault as file server. Works very stable. Just swapped a failing drive (raid) where PM is running on. ProxMox did send me an email every day when the drive was failing with the information which drive was failing. Only it runs on version 6 (installed jan 2021). I do not know how to safely upgrade to version 8. At home using version 7 at this moment on a Dell T410 server. Lot's of VM's on it. Very Happy how it performs and easy to use.
Must admit that I have only reinstalled for new versions.
Hey Morten, long time viewer here. Been using Proxmox both for personal usage and later professional since I started watching your IBM M2/M3 videos and bought one M3 for myself. If you need any tips feel free to reach out!
Kind regards from Portugal 😁
Thank You very much!! I can see that you have been subscribed for 7 years!! Thank You!!
Broadcom is such a finger in the a$$ traitor. I dont want to purchase a subscription to their aswesome "new vsphere" hypervisor. Btw I still use esxi 6.7 free license in working environment. Very good. No updating. Btw vmware just removed support for e5 v3-4 cpus.
Some of the stuff they are doing with scrapping a lot of the extra programs,, that they have removed from ESXi over the years,, to make more money,,, might be okay,, but lets see.
7:50 Morten, I read Proxmox manuals on Proxmox 5 era, and they recommend to install Proxmox onto hardware raid1 boot drive, because the boot drive can be single point of failure😁 and when it fails, all the virtual machines go to limbo!
Okay, thank you! The i is not my production server,, but still a valid point!!
Long time ProxMox admin here. I'm using ZFS mirror raid on two SSDs as boot drive. Using hardware raid for boot is fine but easier to use ZFS long as the hard drive controller is either in IT mode or HBA.
stil on VMware and my VMUG subscription was just renewed for a year (could only do 1 year for their Black Friday deal) so now I can continue to run ESX8 for however .. it will be interesting to see what they will do with VMUG as they are Perpetual - dont really want to change things as I run fiber channel, do my backups with Veeam and integrated vsphere in Ansible to I can deploy VMs.. Also DRS and VMware templates are so nice.. well well at work we will kick VMware out, one of the worlds largest customers..
Humm Might be a good time too get all the ISO´s downloaded :-)
I consider software not finished, until it has cli interface. (-: Everything Proxmox is doing is just pretty pictures on top of virsh, qemu, iptables, maybe ufw and recently ceph. Sometimes those virsh commands are 2 meters long.
I want the pretty pictures,, just like I want a car, where I can change the radio station, with a push of a bottom. Hope I am not greedy :-)
Morten - can you make a episode about the new VMware license stuff ? 👍
What it means for business and for privat it-tinkeres ??
I did try to figure out what they were up to,, but could not find the info,,, yet
You could've easily disable the enterprise subscription, from the repositories menu, so you didn't need the shell for that.
Okay,, how is that done?
@@MyPlayHouse click in the left menu on updates. Then on repositories. Then uncheck the enterprise repository and enable the non-subscription repository.
@@ernestoditerribile That is what I have done. Yet every time I still get the nag screen.
@@repairman2be250 I always use the terminal(shell) to update.
Type “apt update && apt upgrade” this is also way faster than using the GUI.
@@repairman2be250 I can confirm the nag screen is always there. Can't really grumble too much when software as good as this is completely free to use. I'm going to deploy that line of code later and see if it gets rid of it for me.
👍
Hi @skynetcybersystem3tech
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Lenovo X3950 X6's with Proxmox Using psSense and HAProxy. Good Luck Proxmox is a champ and so is Lenovo machines when you get it configured properly. How do you Like the 10 minute Post ... Wait Time?
The Lenovo X3950 X6 is very thorough :-)
Cool, I haven't got into these kinds of software. So, it's interesting... Don
Hi @DonBishopDonSongs
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Since ProxMox runs on Debian you can actually modify the login home page to provide you more info like host's IP address, kernel version and so on. There's info out there on how to do that and it's not specific to ProxMox.
Hi @Darkk6969
Thank You very much! But I really like to have to customise as little as possible on the hypervisor,, so that if it needs replacement,, it´s a simple job.
Thank you for watching! :-)
You have such a good command of the English language. Do most people there have the same?
Mostly everyone here speaks english (as a second languages) : leapscholar.com/blog/english-speaking-countries-in-europe/
86% it seams,, I get a lot of practise,, making all these videos. If you speak english in Denmark,, people will just switch over, with no issues at all. We do not expect anyone to try in danish :-)
When you need to go into the UI then you spend to much time on things only being fancy :P Nah UI are good but i like to know the CLI. There are always stuff you cant do in the UI that need to be done in CLI. Not necesairly because of its not done but that its not worth implementing for the big mass.
Proxmos is nice. Started to switch to that on my new company for what we run there. Old VMware user here to from the old days.
Hope you know I was just provoking a little bit,, used the shell just a little later to fix stuff :-)
@@MyPlayHouse yeah I know :) happen new year and let's hope for fruitful year!
Finally You have given up on VMware. You will find out that Proxmox works way better.
I have tried a few times before,, and has always found something that irritated me...
😊
Hi @Ole-Morten
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
For single server you dont need enterprise and cepf subscriptions , only no-subscription 🙂👍
I would say,, if your income becomes dependent on Proxmox,, might be a good time to get a subscriptions.
@@MyPlayHouse We do for work. For home labs non--subscriptions are fine. I did subscribed to community support just to support the project which is little over $100 a year per socket CPU.
Your first task should be to get another server in the Proxmox cluster. Second task should be to move the XClarity VM to the cluster. Then you can migrate the VM between servers to do your firmware updates!
(Your fourth task will be complaining about how difficult it is to shut down a cluster when the power goes out. Those pesky VMs migrate whenever a node goes down.)
Hi @DanielFSmith
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
What do you think about xcp-ng as anouther alternative?
Do you know that there is over 100 virtualizers,, I am sure xcp-ng is good, it is one of the more popular ones,,, I have not tried it.
sir I installed proxmox in X3650 M4 everything was good. but I couldnt access proxmox through web interface. it says "can't reach this page". what should I do ??
Probably the network you have picked is not the one that is connected,,, and remember the :8006 ath end of Url.,
or try qemu for reg vms not containers - virt just works - why you want machines with tons of ram - you will use it
Hi @shephusted2714
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Oooof 😮
Where have you been Ahmed,,, we have been worried!! :-)
Interesting email address Morten, 🤣
it does explain why he has so many servers.
Finally someone that saw my joke,,, Thank You!!
That is my hobby....
Huh! And wondered why all of a sudden I get so many emails. I think they where sent to me by your viewers!
Just ssh into the server and update it as a Debian - apt update and apt upgrade 👍
This seemed to work,, too
Hello Morton, I installed proxmox 8.1 on a minipc only 6 watts, a lot better than your electricty guzzlers. Did you install zfs on ssd or spinning rust ? On ssd you can see your drives go bad and possibly fail really fasts as it's writing to the disks just constantly. Also mightconsider to disable the cluster services.... Just too much io if you are not running a cluster! Cheers and looking forward to happy play house blogging next year....
Ehh vlogging off course...
Well I should install Proxmox on a toaster,, humm would actually be fun to put a tiny server in a toaster :-)
@@MyPlayHouse Runs too hot I guess! :-)
Where do you do that: disable the cluster services
Are you going to be doing a video with upgrading the firmware on that server
I might, as the other one was a disaster :-)
Brilliant can't wait to watch the video
I got the subscription, big money keeping yours for ever, wat is that!?
I do not understand.
i think xcp ng would be more similar than esxi and its free
Agree. XenOrchestra is even capable of Importing VMs directly from VMWare in the latest Version.
Do you know that there is over 100 virtualizers,, I am sure xcp-ng is good, it is one of the more popular ones,,, I have not tried it. :-)
Hej Morten, do you mean seriously?
I work for an important public institution in Germany where we operate a VMware cluster. Is our very expensive, supposedly perpetual licence going to be just a pile of worthless paper?
Such a shameless business model: pay much, pay forever, own nothing.
Not from one day to the next,,, but when you want to upgrade to next version or extent your services. things will have changed. (They will naturally tell you how this is a big benefit for you, and they are doing this to keep there coustormors in centrum) But you know.. they want to milk you more.
You have lots of hards of drives going
I do have a lot of drives. :-)
just run all your server on proxmox 😄
That was a hope,, just like they are now all running on ESXi
edit out your external IP. Otherwise you will get a lot of port scans, and probably attacks from script kiddies.
Yes,, where in the video do you see my ip ? I did not see it.
@@MyPlayHouse sorry did an NMAP scan. The address shown was the CDN(Content Delivery Network) of the German Proxmox CDN server with only port 80 and 443 open. You can see that address in the update screen.
@@ernestoditerribile well you got my worried there.
@@MyPlayHouse sorry for that
Awesome video Morten, do you have any DISCORD invites so I can join the chat :D
Have you tried an Ubuntu MaaS server install the last few years too, I really enjoyed the usage early on in to the development and before they had large corpo badges displayed, used to have BMC issues early on too but I doubt very much now :D
My only bug about Proxmox subscription is the licence per server socket, I'd hate to even seek a standard licence within my 2-Node IBM x3850 X5, that's 8 sockets with ten cores within each socket :D
I am on Discord, but with patreons,, every sunday we do video chat,, well been problematic this year as both our Christmas and New Year is on a Sunday :-)
