Random Notes

  • Have name and ip address decided before install. May not change afterwards.
  • Cluster mistakes are hard to recover from.
  • Storage is located at /mnt/pve
  • qcow2 VMs - Snapshots are stored within the qcow2 files which grow if needed be to accommodate the snapshots. If you delete the snapshot, the space is not reclaimed unless you move the storage.

Proxmox Helper Scripts

Great collection of scripts to configure, update and manage Proxmox.

I especially like the Proxmox post-install script to get rid of the subscription nag dialog.
