Proxmox Virtual Environment Complete Course Part 5 - Launching a Virtual Machine

please help: sudo command not allowing me to download any updates.

I'm new to Proxmox. Why would you leave the device type on SCSI and not Sata? Isn't SCSI mainly for older spinning disk hard drives? Even 7,200RPM drives are sata.

hi all. Is it ok to create the VM in the same disk as the Proxmox installation, at least for homelabs? I have read different stories. I think you are using only one disk for all, at least in this demo. thnx!

This was very helpful, Thank you very much!

Seems like such a simple thing but I can't get audio to work in Ubuntu Desktop. Tried searching for an answer but got nowhere. I guess Proxmox isn't for those who don't know their way around Linux very well.

Thanks so much. I finally got my proxmox server up and running. I've been putting it off for a year,

I've learnt a lot from these series, but I only have one question, in the "Guest OS" field, should we select the Operating system that we're currently accessing Proxmox from?

Succinct, unpretentious and articulate and no beerswiling. Thank you.

Thanks!

Is there an option to enable hyperthreading when launching a VM? Say you want to allocate 2 cores with 2 threads each for a total of 4 Threads.

This is a terrific series; it helped me out a ton with some tasking I had at work. You now have a new root Patreon supporter!

The button to hide the tasks panel is not available to me in proxmox 7, was removed or is a add-on?

Bonjour, je débutent dans Proxmox, car je m'aperçois ESCi 8 est trop psychorigide ! !. Est-ce qu'on peux installer ou utilisé une image ISO d'un jeux émulateur comme, Batocera ou Recalbox. Merci de votre avis.

I like that they let you add the file checksum signature in Proxmox. That way you know for sure that it was not corrupted while being uploaded to the server.

It seems like uploading the image from a desktop is much much faster than downloading them from the source. I have a fast internet service as well, so I'm not why it's taking so long.

This series is amazing. The time machine is helping... okay tired joke. I mean that record all the footage and afterwards editing the footage to suit the future destination is making this good fun.

I'm contemplating a FreeNAS shared storage with Proxmox hosts for the VMs. My constraint is lower the power and size, as the houseghld probably doesn't want anything bigger than a two drawer filing cabinet. Time to build a custom enclosure to blend into the house surrounds.

Using Proxmox 7.4-3 and following your video. Not so much has changed, except your gripe about unnecessary error messages, and the console has a nice dark theme. Thank you for posting this video series. I find this far easier than ESXi, even though it is very similar, your process is more rewarding, especially on legacy devices.

So let me ask you this. Why do you need to keep the ISO file on your "local drive" after you installed it? I set up proxmox on my (2) Dell R720 servers so I have the two server in cluster. The first VMs I put in was TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.1.iso On each server. After all was setup and working good I deleted the iso file if it's installed and working good no need to waste space by keeping the ISO File on there right? Now they will not start at all. I get this in the log "TASK ERROR: volume 'local:iso/TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.1.iso' does not exist" Do I need to keep the ISO's in the Local Drive For All VM's I Install on it? seems like wasted space to me.

Please am stuck for weeks, I have DHCPv4 empty when installing ubuntu vm

thanks for the detail TuT; could follow all the instruction after understanding; unfortunately unable to SSH, the Ubuntu VM does not have a IP Address >ip a say localhost .. I am missing something .. ??

Edit: my Bad 😞 the IP assigned was XX.XX.XX.8 and due to small font on the console could not make out 0 ->8; got the IP address from the summary..

Thanks a Lot, LOL

I have a point here, speaking about storage options, I have two physical disks on my host. I want this virtual machine to stay on same ssd as proxmox does. I want to give part/whole of the big HDD to that virtual machine as second drive. I believe this is not what option storage does in this initial setup right?!

I'm running ESXI on a Dell PowerEdge 710, I have a ton of CPU cores. The free esxi license limits you to 8 cores, does Proxmox have any kind of limit for cores you can assign?

You have put a lot of effort in the production of this, we really appreciate it. A Big Thanks form the community.


Just one question at this point, how can we update the firmware of the SSD if needed?

such excellent content and Jay is a phenomenal teacher on top of it.

The way how you explain how to choose amount of RAM for virtual machine does not match topic of this course :) If someone came here to learn serious tool like Proxmox - I guess he knows how much memory his machine needs. If not - he should find another job ;)

It's not clear to me why do we need to install the 'qemu-guest-agent'. Could you explain? What will happen if we didn't install it?

You are a hero for putting this video together. I installed Proxmox earlier and immediately got stuck. Thanks for helping out!

Jay, you are awesome!

Great course ! Thank you Mr Jay very much for this awesome course !

setup proxmox has never been much easier after watching your video... thank you very much

Love the tempo and the info

Hello, could you make a tutorial on how to spin-down hdd in Proxmox? thanks in advance!

but I guess I just have to deal with bluetooth, tNice tutorials is a big con.

how to you 249.249 on ubuntu dhcp as your proxmox ip is 249.4.. have you activated dhcp on proxmox? as my public ip is not giving my public ip series ip during the installation of ubuntu..!!

I'm a Desktop Support guy at my job, and I'm challenging myself to learn more Networking. I really want to build a Windows Imaging Server and PXE Boot all the computers I build for sale. I also want to create custom Windows images using a Task Sequence just like we do at the University I work at. You're videos have been amazing!!! Thank You!!!

I really appreciate this Proxmox crash course! I may be getting ahead of myself, but can Proxmox import an existing OS on a physical hard drive? Can it import a Parallels Virtual Machine? I have some physical OS installed natively on hard drive and want to convert them to Proxmox VMs. Thanks! Great instructions!

Not gonna lie, I got a rush after I entered the server ip and saw the website up and running. This is the first time I set up a server. Thanks Jay, I really appreciate you sharing and educating

Not able to download from URL I keep getting "temporary failure in name resolution" I think its because of DNS, but I'm not sure how to fix this any ideas? I tried changing the DNS to Google's public DNS but still no fix.

To save anyone who might be pulling your hair out like me, press "q" without the quotes (that's a 'q' as in Quebec) in order to get back to the command prompt in the terminal window when you see "END" after a long text output such as when typing the qemu service command shown in the video.

Should we be verifying the downloads of the .iso before we load into proxmox? Is that best practice?

Great tutorial!

got an issue, it says permission denied when I try to login via ssh

Hi, Jay! I've watched your "Proxmox VE Full Course: Class 5 - Launching a Virtual Machine" video a couple times now. I'm trying get a successful launch of a VM. At first, I followed your instructions as you went along for Ubuntu Server, then the 2nd time I tried creating an Amahi VM. Unfortunately, both times I was halted at the starting of the VM. No matter what, I keep getting the "Failed To Connect To Server" message. I've done everything you did, step by step, both times. Guess I'm lost, so to speak.

Going to be setting up a Proxmox server. Your videos are fantastic Jay

is safe to install Docker in during the OS installation if I want to create this VM into a Template?

what is the use case of qemu package?
