#Proxmox Notes

Just a collection of notes for Proxmox. I’ll write a bit more in-depth about my setup at a later point when/if I feel like it.

Unlocking a “locked” container/LXC/VM

LXC/Container

pct unlock <container id>

VM

qm unlock <vm id>

Improving NFS Backup performance

vim /etc/vzdump.conf

tmpdir: /tmp/
# OR
tmpdir: /tank-02-zfs/tmp-backups

Network Modifications

Management VLAN

I run some tweaks on my PXE servers, their management NIC is on a separate VLAN to the other systems (sic. home) I am running.

Assuming your vlan ID is 600, and whatever subnet/netmask then you’d want the following set-up (keep in mind, this is for a single nic).

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp2s0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
        bridge-ports enp2s0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
        bridge-vlan-aware yes
        bridge-vids 2-4094

auto vmbr0.600
iface vmbr0.600 inet static
        address 192.168.6.10/24
        gateway 192.168.6.1
