• Initially you inferred you would be working with Windows yet you just built a Linux VM. The VM process is radically different.

• Great course as always. If anyone wonders it's still very relevant to this day on version 8.0

• I'm loving this series. Even had to support. Thanks for this.

• 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.

• proxmox waste prodcut

• 4:55 i wonder: Does it matter to have a certain range of VM ID? :3 On IP-Ranges I get it, but that ID… but maybe i think too much ahead and that comes later on

• 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.

• l'node

• 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
