Great video! Thanks!
Regarding the loss of terminal session clicking away from the WebUI: You can use "tmux" or "screen" to reattach your lost session 🙂
Next time set the CPU as host, it will increase the speed immensly
I tried xcp-ng maybe like 4 or 5 times over the past 2-3 years and I always end up hitting the same walls with it. I would love to trash proxmox but vates ( xcp-ng ) takes forever to implement something ( they are good at security and crítical patches though ) it’s been years now since XO-lite project started and it’s still useless. Version 8.3 has been in beta for a year now. … it’s just a no go for me. I can understand enterprise using it since they don’t touch hardware for half a decade at times but still. …
It’s 2023 and you can’t install windows 11 on a virtualizer unless you use their unstable release ? Come on…
Awesome
The old foot in mouth routine… we have all been there. Use what works, and work with what you use. Proxmox in production is fine under certain conditions, and when it isn’t, it isn’t. Move on to a more enterprise support driven solution! Time is money.
54:56 you should do that, lol
Ubuntu's LXD is pretty darn good. Offering bare metal containers sharing kernel with host and VM's / QEMU
"youll never see proxmox in the professional environment" not true, proxmox is very useful in the professional environment
Currently running Proxmox in prod. 7 nodes, 100 cores, 704GB of memory, ~200TB of storage. Works great, meets all of our needs well, extremely flexible and simple to admin, and because it's just debian underneath, I can more or less throw whatever hardware into the cluster and it works.
Remember, Proxmox = Debian + KVM + GUI + Scripts, so, not too different than skipping the GUI bit and rolling your own KVM setup, except doing that you have much less support if you need it, and, much harder to hire useful help without potentially extensive training.

Total Commander is my choice for file management.
FYI: With iSCSI MPIO you don't need or should use Link aggregation. it's not needed. LACP, etc is for LAN traffic Also most NAS solutions have a iSCSI target so creating a LUN is super easy. Also adding a local disk if not use ZFS in part needs to be done at the node. Then added to the Datacenter as "Directory"
If you're not using some kind of OFM, like Total Commander on Windows, or mc on Linux, you're doing it wrong. Tried and true. Two panels, one command line, standardized keyboard shortcuts.
"In the professional field you dont see Proxmox …" …. What did this guy smoke tonight?
how is xcp-ng different from all the other bare-metal hypervisor? like ESXI and Proxmox?
I moved from VMware 6.7 to XCP-ng to Proxmox over the course of 2 months in early 2023. Have not looked back and have had zero issues since moving to Proxmox. My biggest complaint is I cannot point Proxmox at a folder I already have full of ISO files and have Proxmox consume them like I could in VMware.
This video is basically you coming to the realization that proxmox is not inferior to XCP.
The difference between them is if you have hired professionals yourself or if you want to outsource support.
What are you thinking givin your initial Proxmox perspective which I strongly agree with as Proxmox is great but by the time you properly scale it, you've recreated Rancher.
Why Not use Rancher/ Harvester. Fail to understand the aversion to Suse based projects especially given your positive feedback when utilizing the project in the past.
OR
If you want $0 product cost & enterprise scaleable then OpenStack's MicroStack is the way to go.
10¨00 Get a quadro then and use one.
this was a fun stream I am glad i was there. Re: Companies. For sure PMX has a small market share <1% worldwide but it's far from hobbyist. Clustering, block level replication, integrated backup etc.. And as you found out it works pretty good! Even for desktop VMs. Integrated LXC contrainers, a huge suite of prebuilt container apps, etc..

Better tell work to change their root password 🤣Also, What was under your network storage????
Why is Proxmox only good for hobbyists and why won't we ever see Proxmox in the business realm? What makes Xen/VMWare/Nutanix/Hyper-V better for the business realm?
Hey there! XCP-ng/Xen Orchestra founder here. What kind of hardware exactly is it? (to see if I can reproduce your issue).
Perfect timing as always! My plan was to deploy Proxmox within my homelab this weekend.
