With the default Proxmox setup, 'local' stores the ISO images and container templates, and 'local-lvm' stores the installed VMs and containers themselves. I would not recommend deleting 'local-lvm' in order to resize 'local'. That removes the ability to take snapshots of each VM and container, which is one of the most beneficial reasons to use a Type 1 hypervisor in the first place.
Also to me it seemed weird that he says that you can't use 'local-lvm' for VM related stuff. I just started with Proxmox recently and you can use it very well, maybe it was different back when he posted the video. I would rather go the other way around and shrink 'local' and increase 'local-lvm'.
You explain everything in such a simple manner, even my 3-year-old son can understand it. Thanks for making educational videos and sharing them on youtube.
I have learned more from your videos than my 2 year college. Your videos are packed with knowledge, quick, straight to the point and amazingly simple to understand. Thank you very much! From London
I've just installed Proxmox 7 on my old computer (since I've upgraded my main station). Working on getting Home Assistant to run on it and also my games server, to play with friends. Thank you for the guide Chuck!
I know you did this awhile back but wanted to comment and say I just built my Proxmox server right along side your video. Running 7.3.3 instead of 6.3.3 but everything worked just the same. I'll mention as well I built my Protectli / pfSense firewall/router right along side that video of yours as well. It's working great! Using Quad9 for my DNS and was able to send my ISP router back and save a few dollars a month as well. I truly appreciate all the effort you and your team go thru to make these videos. Your energy is contagious and the videos are always uplifting. I live to learn from you and Naomi! You two are the best! Thanks again!
Hello sir, i really love your lessons, i just wanted to tell you that i have completed my masters degree fee months ago and till my post graduation i never got inspired by any teacher.. But the way you teach and make things so simple is Awesome. Thanks a lot for such a nice content.
Mr Chuck, During my free time I search for you on RUclips even and I watch old videos even if there are no new videos, it's all because of the way you teach and it's awesome. No words man. Keep up the fantastic work. Thumbs up all the way from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.
I'm just getting into this and I will say your videos are THE BEST !!! You explain things with the simplicity of a child which makes everything seem approachable and easy to learn ! I wish my teachers were half as good as you as I'd be a doctor by now LOL. Keep up the good work !!!!
Found your channel about 6-8 months ago and love your style of presentation for this material. Easy and simple format to follow and learn. Also since it's the future (1/8/2024) current version is 8.1-1, thanks again..
the passion you have for this makes it so much easier for us who knows nothing or little about networking..i actually hated networking and watching this channel has taught me so much about how important it is to have at least a basic understanding of networking for security purposes and i thank you for that!
@@hantusangap RDP is interesting really, because it works funny. You need the NetBIOS hostname (if that's supported by your system) or the IP address of the VM for that to work, assuming you have a default vmbr0 one (no NAT no bullshit)
You should definitely share the failure. Failure is part of IT. Especially when you are learning: But I’ve found I’ve learned the most in those failures.
yep i failed today trying to do something with my router. i broke it and the wifi disappeared and it wasnt even there to connect to😂 i thought it was hilarious cuz of how much of an diot i am. i fixed it tho by factory resetting it😅
Great video and love your energy. Thanks for sharing this information, I am headed back to school at 50 and your videos keep me updated on how tech is changing and how to use it in the real world. Awesome job!
My laptop has 4GB of ram. My old laptops, two of them are 2GB, and one is 1GB. I would like to make one of them a thin client to remote into my workstation or VMs running on it.
This is so awesome. 👍 I'm making a career change at 53 and am studying for my A+ cert right now, aiming for something with cloud security. I've already been wanting to slowly start the process of building a lab and looking at old used network servers, switches, etc... to maybe play with but don't exactly have the space. Love using existing VMs in my study material. Just ordered a new(to me) referbished probook with i7- daul core 4 thread, 512GB SSD for less than $300 that will be here today. DEFINITELY going to set up virtual box as soon as the basic setup is done and start playing with that. I could use my existing laptop for the teir 1 but it would be pushing the limits so I think I'll just order a refurbished elitedesk with 32 GB ram, 1TB SSD, i7-quad core for again, under $300, and use that. This is an awesome solution to my space problem. Thanks 👍
Just followed this tutorial in March of 2022 and it was still pretty accurate. ProxMox version 7.3 is out now and there were only a couple extra pop-up windows in the install process that were really easy to figure out. Thanks Chuck!
I've recently been super interested in installing a VM and getting up and running in a more secure and manageable environment, Your videos are absolutely amazing! I'm already setup and ready to go on my old PC! I'll definitely be watching more
If I could give you more than one thumbs up I would. You condense hours of research and trial and error into relatively short video and is is so easy to understand it could be played in primary schools. Imagine super genius IT kids.
Another great video! You don't have to delete local-lvm though. The default config is setup for you to create VM's and containers on it and use local for miscellaneous stuff like ISO's and container templates. That said, you didn't do anything wrong and everyone should feel free to setup things any way they like.
@@aronhoran9018 I have a 3 node cluster and deleted the lvm on each. No ill effects as far as I can see. My internal disks were quite small so wanted to maximize the space having just 1 partition. Actually did not know you could do that until I saw his video! Cheers! iso's/templates I keep them on network shares so no issues. Got ceph set up for the storage which are on other disks also. Just made it all cleaner getting rid of lvm
Oh boy.....I just wish I had teachers back in school like you who taught anything with passion! I am always learning with you and also encouraged seeing you teach 😁
Not possible. A teacher has to handle a whole class. Some are interested, some get it done fast, some slow, some are nerds, some are not even interested. Teacher provide knowledge to all of them. You are a single individual which is interested. So you learn quick 1:1.
Nice Video Chuck, I've been rocking Proxmox for about 2 years on an i7 4500U single board PC. currently running my home automation system (Home Assistant), a development environment for Home Assistant, Plex server, Network Fileserver, minecraft server and a dedicated tuya device flashing vm with about 8tb zfs array. Absolutely LOVE Proxmox!
Can u explain how this Ethernet connection work? We need to add one side to th main PC where we will access Proxmox? Or this Ethernet cable will be from router to the machin installing Proxmox? Please explain
@@zuiokopl2256 Ethernet cable is required just for the internet connection (which means it'll be from the router to your machine that is installing proxmox in it) so that the proxmox configure all of its settings. Obviously, nothing is possible without the internet in this era.
Just finished a project for my Virtual Cloud Concepts class where we built two ESXi hosts, a vCenter appliance, and a TrueNAS inside VMWare and created a High Availability vMotion capable setup. Really cool stuff!
Just started with Proxmox VE 7.3 on Jan 20th, 2023. Thanks NetworkChuck! I always wanted something like this. You took the uncertainty out of VM/VE for me in my environment.
TY! You rock. Been using proxmox for about 6 years in my growing homelab, Worked as a Sys engineer by trade and self taught along the way with proxmox but completely missed this step the first time around and it took about 6 years to rear its ugly head with issues.
Thank you so much for your time and content! I started doing things when I was a kid, like installing my first copy of Windows 98 when I was 11, had a little bit of a glimpse with some older guys, literally hacking servers, and installing rootkits on them. It was dial-up internet for us, in Romania back at that time. They we're using those servers to flood Internet Cafe's in our town. I did not understand ssh connections back in those days. I can go on about those stories for a while :) > anyway today I am getting ready to install proxmox 7.3! Again thank you !
Brilliant - love the presentation style & genuine passion for the subject , between you and Jeff on Craft Computing you make learning fun, inspirational and well worthwhile!
Really cool stuff! Would love to see another video similar to this, on how you could set-up something similar in the cloud with a provider like Digital Ocean or AWS!
@@Untapped0293 yeah. Saw that. I’m re-doing mine as the VMs never finished when I added them to Proxmox so trying again with 6.4 and see if there’s any difference.
Went through both parts of ProxMox videos, I look at the dates of videos being posted to see if they are still relevant. These two videos are still relevant to me as I'm just starting out learning stuff. Thanks
v 8.1.1 installed on a Dell R610 w/24G ram and 6 x sas 148G 15k drives in raid 5 (11-23-23) Thanks a million for your videos and all the help you provide us dummies out here.
I was just adding VirtualBox to my laptop and found you - you have inspired me to totally redo my home network - and you are HILARIOUS! And I signed up for Morning Brew - nice newsletter
Yeah, subs would be great, even tho i can understand him just fine, it would be great for ppl who dont. That being said: There are many tutorials out there for Proxmox. And if you have a specific question, then the forums are also out there and if you want, you can ask me here in the Comments, maybe i can help.
just installed version 8 last night, and I'm glad I didn't have time to try installing a VM because this video was SUUUUPER informative. You preemptively answered loads of questions 🎉
Installed Proxmox on my old Asus laptop. Followed you step by step, even with the coffee... BRB, gotta get my coffee...much better. You make it interesting and fun. Thank you.
Thank you @NetworkChuck. This post caught my attention awhile ago and yesterday I finally got around to setting up proxmox on some old hardware. An old HTPC, a Dell Inspiron Zino HD circa 2007/2008. RAM 4GB, HD 500 GB, 100 MB ethernet, AMD Athlon 3250e dual core. Proxmox works fine on this system. It had an issue with Kali VM hanging on reboot at "Booting from hard disk.." but Plex in LXC running Ubuntu 20.04 worked a treat. Though it is underpowered when it comes to serving videos it is completely adequate for backing up and serving up photos (which was the intent). Brilliant use of otherwise not so useful hardware. Well done! TY.
Picked up a 200$ computer off amazon with I5 8500 and added 2 4TB Hd and a 1Tb M.2 16 gb ram and Now will be running Proxmox 7.4 Thanks Chuck your Fn Awsome
installing my 2nd proxmox thanks to you and this awesome vid. Now installing 7.4. Was on 6.3 when I first started. Using Cloudflare to access my VMs remotely mostly for my eveng virtual labs. I'm a network engineer, and this is perfect for testing configs and different scenarios and I can even do it from work without violating any policies. This is just awesome. Didn't comment a couple years ago, that's just not me. But this time I felt it really deserved a comment especially since so many of your other vids have been great too. Thanks for doing these.
THANKS, NETWORK CHUCK!! 5 STAR tutorial video! Although I'm an OLD retired Cyber Security Chief with only 4 brain cells left - YOUR VIDEO made Proxmox setup sooooo easy! I'm enjoying my 1st Type 1 hypervisor and continue to exercise my remaining brain cells installing, troubleshooting, and playing with various OSs and containers. WHAT A RIOT when you're doing this (retired) STRESS FREE! I'm using a mini-pc I purchased just for Proxmox play (after using Proxmox on an old (very old) laptop for a few months). My new Proxmox Box is a Beelink Mini pc Sei11 Intel 11th i5 11320H Turbo 4.5Ghz（4C 8T）16GB DDR4 & 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD Dual HDMI 4K@60Hz Streaming Desktop Computers, WiFi 6,BT5.0 Gigabit Ethernet Business. THANKS, NETWORK CHUCK!!
Chuck, I really appreciate your videos and your enthusiasm. Do you know whether or not it is possible to dual boot an existing Windows 10 installation and a new Proxmox install?
proxmox uses the entire harddrive for installation, so only if you have multiple harddrives, you cannot partition off a portion of your Win10 drive for proxmox.
I've watched both of these videos and am really excited to learn some new skills. I'm not an IT person, though I did get my associates degree in it back in 2001. I'm really interested in trying to use my Gaming PC to try out Pop OS Linux, as well as Mac OS (Since I heard Virtualization is the easier method over "Hackintosh"). If I'm following this video, however, Proxmox means my rig would not be the one I can sit at and use the different OS experiences and I'd have to remote in from another rig. Is that correct? My hope had been to just install Proxmox, the three OSs and then select which VM I wanted to hop onto.
Thank you Chuck, just watched this and am now a happy Owner of a Proxmox server. btw: to answer 8:38 my Server is running 8.2. Thank you so much for entertaining and educating us all.
I'm so glad I came back and watched Chuck's video again before I installed anything on my Proxmox machine. I would have left a lot of a 2TB hard drive go to waste!
"Proxmox VE 7.4-1 ISO Installer" That's what I'm lookin at and today's date is 4/15/2023. Just wanted to say I appreciate all the effort you put into teaching people the in's and out's of the IT Industry, I'm definitely inspired to learn all I can to get into this industry, keep up the good work bro! Update: YOOOOOO I actually did it!! Download spree starting now babehhhhh
Amazing! Thanks! Just got ProxMox 8.0.3 up & running on an old Dell Precision T3610 with 128g ram, 500g primary ssd and 3tb spindle drive. Was trying to get our server administrator to set up an old vrtx for me but he wasn't able to get it going and gave up so i figured i'd try this on an old precision i have been using for dev projects. so far looks great! only thing is i don't see the 2nd drive in the summary but i'm working on it... thanks again for all your amazing videos!
So thankful for this tutorial, I now have a Ubuntu server, Kubuntu Gaming machine with gpu passthrough, a couple of androids for mobile gaming, and they're all running through proxmox thanks to the help of this tutorial. So once again thank you. I never knew VMs went past Virtualbox really.
I know this is a year old, but everything you showed still works! I bought a PC to get its graphic card for my daughter's PC for graphic designing so I had this new PC and an old graphic card in it. I used it and did 100% of what you showed! Thanks! I have an old ESXi 6.0 and want to get away from it. Now I have a replacement!!
Hey Chuck, don't know if you will see this, but thank you for the videos. Yes I setup Proxmox and a VM machine. Thank you again for your hard work and the videos.
From the future: installing Proxmox 8.0-2 from the backseat of my flying car... Well, most of that statement is true. This is a fun little project and will cut down on the need for so many devices. Many thanks Chuck, you're awesome.
Thanks for this video, bearded one! I've stood up plenty of Proxmox nodes but never really bothered much with resizing the local volume. I just let it ride and put all of my VM storage on separate disks/volumes added later. But now that i've seen you do it here I did it on the most recent node just now. worked like a charm.
awesome instructions for a homelab. have been using esxi for years through work. but for a home lab this is great, 2013 macbook pro is now my homelab server
Hi Chuck, been a fan for 2 months now! Great videos - please do more! Greetings from Finland, origin of Linux 😎. And oh... just downloaded Proxmox version 7.4.1 🙂
Finally got the time to do this on some spare parts from my pc: i5 6500 with 16gb of ram and 120gb ssd So far very happy with the result, i am running a pihole server, ubuntu server for general stuff (mysql, discord bot, murmur chat, samba) and a ubuntu server running 2 minecraft servers Pleased with results. This way i can save a lot of power instead of using multiple machines for this kind of stuff. Thank you for the kind tutorial
For me it was crating an OpenVPN server just over 4 years ago. I thought the idea was cool and decided to try it just before my family went on vacation. I found it amazing how I was able to access my home network from over 2000 miles away in Mexico. Of course, some things broke, so when we would stop at a hotel, I would remote into a computer I left online at home via TeamViewer and use that to connect to my OpenVPN server to try to fix it.
Sooo coool. I've installed proxmox on my spare 250gb ssd on my main PC. Used my laptop to access proxmox. Created 3 VMs Linux Mint Linux Manjaro Windows 10 Just for fun. Amazing....
I admit my ignorance on syntax in differing versions. I tried this command following your video ' lvresize -l +100&FREE ' (one of your fav commands) that does not work in Proxmox v8.1. Would have been nice to follow your video. My bad for not using the same version. Guess I can scrub & re-install in lieu of answer. And your link to the 'command walkthrough' leads to somewhere, but nothing I could discern as anything but your webpage. Never found the ' commands walkthrough'. Thanks for the awesome content Chuck. WE dig your stuff bro!

Nice Video Chuck, I've been rocking Proxmox for about 2 years on an i7 4500U single board PC. currently running my home automation system (Home Assistant), a development environment for Home Assistant, Plex server, Network Fileserver, minecraft server and a dedicated tuya device flashing vm with about 8tb zfs array. Absolutely LOVE Proxmox!
Can u explain how this Ethernet connection work? We need to add one side to th main PC where we will access Proxmox? Or this Ethernet cable will be from router to the machin installing Proxmox? Please explain
@@zuiokopl2256 Ethernet cable is required just for the internet connection (which means it'll be from the router to your machine that is installing proxmox in it) so that the proxmox configure all of its settings. Obviously, nothing is possible without the internet in this era.
@@kabeermirza055 thanks kabeer. I'll give a try to it
Just finished a project for my Virtual Cloud Concepts class where we built two ESXi hosts, a vCenter appliance, and a TrueNAS inside VMWare and created a High Availability vMotion capable setup. Really cool stuff!
Mate, I have to say watching your videos has opened up a worm hole I've gone down. Thanks again
This is a great motivation to learn something new. Just instead of coffee, I have a beer. (I hope you don't read this comment :D )
Ops he read it 😂
Craft Computing: Am I a joke to you?
new? i've been working with hypervisor software since '99.
@Glizzster my rod or this rod
@Glizzster just choose you innocent gal
MY ROD or THIS ROD?
NOTIFICATION SQUAD! Don't have time tonight tho. Will watch tomorrow morning
Network Chuck is the best!
I saw this new video so I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down for a new network chuck video.
Good Idea!
Just started with Proxmox VE 7.3 on Jan 20th, 2023. Thanks NetworkChuck! I always wanted something like this. You took the uncertainty out of VM/VE for me in my environment.
TY! You rock. Been using proxmox for about 6 years in my growing homelab, Worked as a Sys engineer by trade and self taught along the way with proxmox but completely missed this step the first time around and it took about 6 years to rear its ugly head with issues.
Thank you so much for your time and content! I started doing things when I was a kid, like installing my first copy of Windows 98 when I was 11, had a little bit of a glimpse with some older guys, literally hacking servers, and installing rootkits on them. It was dial-up internet for us, in Romania back at that time. They we're using those servers to flood Internet Cafe's in our town. I did not understand ssh connections back in those days. I can go on about those stories for a while :) > anyway today I am getting ready to install proxmox 7.3! Again thank you !
21:40 YES!!! Cover that too please, anyone wants this that much as I do? :D We need to learn it RIGHT NOW
I think you don't understand. RAAIIGHT NOWWW!!!
RAAAAAAAIGGHHT NNOOOOOWWW!!!
Yes please. All the more for securing your voldemort ... err I mean honeypot for scammers.
Brilliant - love the presentation style & genuine passion for the subject , between you and Jeff on Craft Computing you make learning fun, inspirational and well worthwhile!
This is the most straight-forward and awesome way to install Proxmox. Thanks so much, Chuck!
I so totally enjoy your videos... even when I don't care about the topic, I simply watch for your presentation .... truly cool, lots of fun.
Really cool stuff! Would love to see another video similar to this, on how you could set-up something similar in the cloud with a provider like Digital Ocean or AWS!
Chuck be like: you need coffee
Me with 2 liter black coffee: I need more!!!
8:35 - 2 hours in the future. Still version 6.3. 👍
6. 4 released today
@@Untapped0293 yeah. Saw that. I’m re-doing mine as the VMs never finished when I added them to Proxmox so trying again with 6.4 and see if there’s any difference.
@@cyphodias1640 I've not updated my cluster yet. When I updated to 6.3 it didn't really alter anything just minor tweaks / bug fixes. Enjoy.
@@Untapped0293 I got mine working with 6.4. Finally! lol
@@cyphodias1640 nice work.
Went through both parts of ProxMox videos, I look at the dates of videos being posted to see if they are still relevant. These two videos are still relevant to me as I'm just starting out learning stuff. Thanks
We want this type of videos man
Amazing video hats off to you ♥️👍
Chuck : there will be a lot of coffee breaks in this video
Still Chuck : in no time you will be able to do it
😂
ESXi is far more coffee breaks but it's cool
This was actually so fun. Thank you for this walkthrough.
v 8.1.1 installed on a Dell R610 w/24G ram and 6 x sas 148G 15k drives in raid 5 (11-23-23)
Thanks a million for your videos and all the help you provide us dummies out here.
I was just adding VirtualBox to my laptop and found you - you have inspired me to totally redo my home network - and you are HILARIOUS! And I signed up for Morning Brew - nice newsletter
i fuckin love you man, you've been teaching us shit we'd never get in school nor good content from paid courses
Man! You should enable subtitles... There are so many people like me doesn't understand English so good...
Yeah, subs would be great, even tho i can understand him just fine, it would be great for ppl who dont. That being said: There are many tutorials out there for Proxmox. And if you have a specific question, then the forums are also out there and if you want, you can ask me here in the Comments, maybe i can help.
If I don't have coffee, will beer work?
just installed version 8 last night, and I'm glad I didn't have time to try installing a VM because this video was SUUUUPER informative. You preemptively answered loads of questions 🎉
Installed Proxmox on my old Asus laptop. Followed you step by step, even with the coffee... BRB, gotta get my coffee...much better. You make it interesting and fun. Thank you.
Love this content :]
its 3:35 AM
2:41am West Coast
I love his hairstyle and beard ..
love from india chuck
@@NetworkChuck thanks chuck
Can you do a tutorial on Intergrated GPU passthrough (Intel / AMD)? So I can use the laptop screen and use gpu encoding n stuff.
Thank you @NetworkChuck. This post caught my attention awhile ago and yesterday I finally got around to setting up proxmox on some old hardware.
An old HTPC, a Dell Inspiron Zino HD circa 2007/2008.
RAM 4GB, HD 500 GB, 100 MB ethernet, AMD Athlon 3250e dual core.
Proxmox works fine on this system. It had an issue with Kali VM hanging on reboot at "Booting from hard disk.." but Plex in LXC running Ubuntu 20.04 worked a treat. Though it is underpowered when it comes to serving videos it is completely adequate for backing up and serving up photos (which was the intent).
Brilliant use of otherwise not so useful hardware. Well done! TY.
Picked up a 200$ computer off amazon with I5 8500 and added 2 4TB Hd and a 1Tb M.2 16 gb ram and Now will be running Proxmox 7.4 Thanks Chuck your Fn Awsome
Can you access and use the VMs directly on the laptop? Or can you only get to them through the web browser of another PC that's on the same network?
I definitely need a sticker from you to stick to my laptop. RIGHT NOW!! Seriously, where can I order it?
Omg proxmox. I've been waiting for this. Thank you
installing my 2nd proxmox thanks to you and this awesome vid. Now installing 7.4. Was on 6.3 when I first started. Using Cloudflare to access my VMs remotely mostly for my eveng virtual labs. I'm a network engineer, and this is perfect for testing configs and different scenarios and I can even do it from work without violating any policies. This is just awesome. Didn't comment a couple years ago, that's just not me. But this time I felt it really deserved a comment especially since so many of your other vids have been great too. Thanks for doing these.
THANKS, NETWORK CHUCK!! 5 STAR tutorial video!
Although I'm an OLD retired Cyber Security Chief with only 4 brain cells left - YOUR VIDEO made Proxmox setup sooooo easy!
I'm enjoying my 1st Type 1 hypervisor and continue to exercise my remaining brain cells installing, troubleshooting, and playing with various OSs and containers. WHAT A RIOT when you're doing this (retired) STRESS FREE!
I'm using a mini-pc I purchased just for Proxmox play (after using Proxmox on an old (very old) laptop for a few months).
My new Proxmox Box is a Beelink Mini pc Sei11 Intel 11th i5 11320H Turbo 4.5Ghz（4C 8T）16GB DDR4 & 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD Dual HDMI 4K@60Hz Streaming Desktop Computers, WiFi 6,BT5.0 Gigabit Ethernet Business.
THANKS, NETWORK CHUCK!!
Chuck, I really appreciate your videos and your enthusiasm. Do you know whether or not it is possible to dual boot an existing Windows 10 installation and a new Proxmox install?
proxmox uses the entire harddrive for installation, so only if you have multiple harddrives, you cannot partition off a portion of your Win10 drive for proxmox.
Plz up load you fail video :) I think it would be great knowledge ether way
"32GB Ram PC" its a super computer for us 😂😂
Haha crying in 4 gb
damn, the console reveal at 22:24 was mindblowing! going to set it up today! thank you and keep up the great work!
I'm loving this channel man, i just watched the part 1 virtual machines. I hope you have a video for installation of ESXI as well.
I've watched both of these videos and am really excited to learn some new skills. I'm not an IT person, though I did get my associates degree in it back in 2001. I'm really interested in trying to use my Gaming PC to try out Pop OS Linux, as well as Mac OS (Since I heard Virtualization is the easier method over "Hackintosh"). If I'm following this video, however, Proxmox means my rig would not be the one I can sit at and use the different OS experiences and I'd have to remote in from another rig. Is that correct? My hope had been to just install Proxmox, the three OSs and then select which VM I wanted to hop onto.
I had the same idea also. Im sure there is a way that we have not yet discoverd.
I think if I'm following you correctly, you would be better off using a type 2 hypervisor. Chuck has a great video that explains that.
fun fact:my internet is 300mbps at peak
That's 3x more than mine. UK mostly have 100mbps at exhorbitan prices. Sucks.
Same in Morocco@@Zerpentsa6598
Is yours warm?
It’s very warm☺️
It’s very warm☺️
Thank you Chuck, just watched this and am now a happy Owner of a Proxmox server. btw: to answer 8:38 my Server is running 8.2. Thank you so much for entertaining and educating us all.
Proxmox 8.2-1 - LOVE the way you deliver your content! Cheers!
NOTIFICATION SQUAD!!!!!!
I usually smoke cigs or bud and drink coke during my breaks . Sometimes some real coke to get faster at coding
for hackinosh
I'm so glad I came back and watched Chuck's video again before I installed anything on my Proxmox machine. I would have left a lot of a 2TB hard drive go to waste!
Just got Proxmox running on my "NAS"! I'm excited to let the learning begin!! Thanks Chuck!
"Proxmox VE 7.4-1 ISO Installer" That's what I'm lookin at and today's date is 4/15/2023.
Just wanted to say I appreciate all the effort you put into teaching people the in's and out's of the IT Industry, I'm definitely inspired to learn all I can to get into this industry, keep up the good work bro!
Update: YOOOOOO I actually did it!! Download spree starting now babehhhhh
Amazing! Thanks! Just got ProxMox 8.0.3 up & running on an old Dell Precision T3610 with 128g ram, 500g primary ssd and 3tb spindle drive. Was trying to get our server administrator to set up an old vrtx for me but he wasn't able to get it going and gave up so i figured i'd try this on an old precision i have been using for dev projects. so far looks great! only thing is i don't see the 2nd drive in the summary but i'm working on it... thanks again for all your amazing videos!
So thankful for this tutorial, I now have a Ubuntu server, Kubuntu Gaming machine with gpu passthrough, a couple of androids for mobile gaming, and they're all running through proxmox thanks to the help of this tutorial. So once again thank you. I never knew VMs went past Virtualbox really.
I know this is a year old, but everything you showed still works! I bought a PC to get its graphic card for my daughter's PC for graphic designing so I had this new PC and an old graphic card in it. I used it and did 100% of what you showed! Thanks! I have an old ESXi 6.0 and want to get away from it. Now I have a replacement!!
Thank you for the entrypoint to Proxmox. It's actually fun to see it in action.
This guy is the definition of tech rizz.
I mean I literally just went getting my self a cup of coffee hahaha
Subscribed for sure!
Hey Chuck, don't know if you will see this, but thank you for the videos. Yes I setup Proxmox and a VM machine. Thank you again for your hard work and the videos.
Its Proxmox 7.2 now , I really love your video's from India, Chennai, Thanks for your efforts
Hi there Chuck, great content as usual, currently on version 8.1-1
From the future: installing Proxmox 8.0-2 from the backseat of my flying car... Well, most of that statement is true. This is a fun little project and will cut down on the need for so many devices. Many thanks Chuck, you're awesome.
This is exactly the explanation I needed!!! Thanks Chuck!!! Your channel is absolutely freaking awesome!! Love it!! Amazing work! Thx
Thanks for this video, bearded one! I've stood up plenty of Proxmox nodes but never really bothered much with resizing the local volume. I just let it ride and put all of my VM storage on separate disks/volumes added later. But now that i've seen you do it here I did it on the most recent node just now. worked like a charm.
Thanks for the tip to let the laptop up and running when the screen is down.
I just added a laptop to my pre-existing proxmox datacenter.
Thanks man
awesome instructions for a homelab. have been using esxi for years through work.
but for a home lab this is great, 2013 macbook pro is now my homelab server
Hi Chuck, been a fan for 2 months now! Great videos - please do more! Greetings from Finland, origin of Linux 😎. And oh... just downloaded Proxmox version 7.4.1 🙂
3 years later, still highly valuable. Kudos @NetworkChuck
Finally got the time to do this on some spare parts from my pc: i5 6500 with 16gb of ram and 120gb ssd
So far very happy with the result, i am running a pihole server, ubuntu server for general stuff (mysql, discord bot, murmur chat, samba) and a ubuntu server running 2 minecraft servers
Pleased with results. This way i can save a lot of power instead of using multiple machines for this kind of stuff. Thank you for the kind tutorial
I'm still proud of my first "real" homelab project, setting up a HA Proxmox cluster with three servers. :)
For me it was crating an OpenVPN server just over 4 years ago. I thought the idea was cool and decided to try it just before my family went on vacation. I found it amazing how I was able to access my home network from over 2000 miles away in Mexico. Of course, some things broke, so when we would stop at a hotel, I would remote into a computer I left online at home via TeamViewer and use that to connect to my OpenVPN server to try to fix it.
Hey Chuck, I am 3 years late but I just installed Proxmox version 8.2 :D Thanks for the video as always!
Sooo coool. I've installed proxmox on my spare 250gb ssd on my main PC.
Used my laptop to access proxmox.
Created 3 VMs
Linux Mint
Linux Manjaro
Windows 10
Just for fun.
Amazing....
I admit my ignorance on syntax in differing versions. I tried this command following your video ' lvresize -l +100&FREE ' (one of your fav commands) that does not work in Proxmox v8.1. Would have been nice to follow your video. My bad for not using the same version. Guess I can scrub & re-install in lieu of answer. And your link to the 'command walkthrough' leads to somewhere, but nothing I could discern as anything but your webpage. Never found the ' commands walkthrough'. Thanks for the awesome content Chuck. WE dig your stuff bro!
