Many are experimenting with Proxmox in their home lab and even in production environments. We take a look at the top 10 Proxmox tweaks in 2024 that you may want to implement.

This channel has been great, when the content was about VMWare. But now all this Proxmox content and content about other virtualization software no one has even heard of sucks pretty much.
Thanks for this. Although my forst step would be pls but a subscription if you can. We dont want another broadcom acquisition here.
I've just moved my Intel NUC HOMELAB off ESXI, onto Proxmox , I'm loving having something fresh and new to play with.
Perhaps a good topic to cover might be how local storage works inside Proxmox vs ESXI, the concepts are quite different , it took me a few reinstalls to get the local SSD/MVME storage right
Very useful. Just installed Proxmox and was already reading some of the exact documentation you referred to and a few items I was wondering about.
The best and fastest way I found to migrate, at least from xen or xcp, is to create the vm in proxmox with disk capacities in zfs storage, get the disk path and via ssh using a fast hash and active compression stream via dd to destination disk. in xen I use vdi-export and vms with 50gb is done in just a few minutes
Main br0 should be management, then setup br1 as a vlan aware bridge for your vm's.
moved all my esxi vms to proxmox and shut down esxi…running on an HP Elite Desk with 64GB of ram vs a Proliant G8 with 192GB, cant wait to see my next power bill. i tried that esxi import tool but got errors on all but 1 vm when attempting to import. I found it easier to just use the ovftool to do the import and did it on the rest of the vms without issue. Other than having to install the virtio driver on a couple and enable ide for Centos based VMs
hey awesome job on the video and great tips, it really helps i've found to flesh out a use case scenario for each of them or just explain how things are better with {x} over {y} solution
edit: at the end you asked if any of us did anything different to you, i'd like to put out there that SR-IOV on a nic is really useful in building out performant VMs. I made the switch some year ago when I went 10gb and its been really nice giving each VM a proper nic rather than some software implementation.
Also do the "Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts"
Also Dark Mode.
How to do offline backup of a ha enabled vm?
I've never enabled vlan aware in the bridge, just added the vlan tag in the VM options. It did work
Great video Brandon!!
Very good tips Brandon! Thank´s a lot for your time and work.
I use Netdata to monitor my proxmox rather than using InfluxDB and Grafana. When I tested InfluxDB, Prometheus, Grafama, telegraf, chronograf, etc. etc. Netdata won out as far as what used the least amount of compute and storage. I was trying to keep this host as lean as possible.
Thank you for these tips! Great video! Keep up the good work!
You are doing a great job bro,thank you so much and keep up …LIKED as always
Broadcom totally screwed themselves. My clients who spent $500 for the essentials kit and something like $150 annual support agreement are now looking at $3000 annual cost. These are small businesses who won't do that. So now I will be doing proxmox on all new servers that are for smaller businesses. I probably only have 5 or 6 clients that will continue with vmware. That will not make up for what they are losing on the other 100 clients.
