In this article, I will show you how to create a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS virtual machine (VM) on Proxmox VE. This article is the foundation of the Proxmox VE Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VM GPU passthrough guide. Once you have a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Proxmox VE VM set up, you can passthrough a GPU (i.e. NVIDIA […]
If you passthrough an NVIDIA GPU to an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Proxmox VE virtual machine (VM), you get many benefits, such as: Stream the display of the VM directly on the monitor connected to the NVIDIA GPU. Add a USB keyboard and a mouse to the VM and use the VM like a real desktop […]
If you passthrough an NVIDIA GPU to a Fedora 40 Proxmox VE virtual machine, you get many benefits, such as: Stream the virtual machine’s display directly on the monitor connected to the NVIDIA GPU. Add a USB keyboard and a mouse to the virtual machine and use it like a real desktop computer. Get near-native […]
In this article, I will show you how to create a Fedora 40 virtual machine on Proxmox VE. This article is the foundation of the Proxmox VE Fedora 40 virtual machine GPU passthrough guide. Once you have a Fedora 40 virtual machine set up, you can passthrough a GPU (i.e. NVIDIA GPU) to the Fedora […]
For GPU passthrough to work or for installing specific device drivers on a Proxmox VE virtual machine, you may need to disable UEFI Secure Boot on your Proxmox VE virtual machine. In this article, I will show you how to disable UEFI secure boot on a Proxmox VE virtual machine. The procedures shown in this […]
Usually, virtual disks are used on Proxmox VE virtual machines. The virtual disks are partitioned and operating systems are installed. If you have a lot of virtual machines on your Proxmox VE server, you will be storing the virtual disks of multiple virtual machines on the same storage device, which will limit the storage bandwidth […]
By default, a bridged network is created in a new Proxmox VE installation. The default Proxmox VE bridge network assigns IP addresses to the virtual machines and LXC containers using the DHCP server of the router/switch your Proxmox VE server is connected to. So, all the virtual machines and LXC containers are accessible from your […]
Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.2 launches, featuring QEMU 8.1.5, LXC 6.0.0, ZFS 2.2.3, Ceph updates, and more.
The post Proxmox VE 8.2 Launches with Enhanced Migration Tools appeared first on Linux Today.
You can passthrough USB devices from your Proxmox VE host to any of your Proxmox VE virtual machines (VMs) and access the USB devices from the Proxmox VE virtual machines in the same way as you do on any other computers. In this article, I will show you how to passthrough USB devices to a […]
Nested Virtualization is a CPU feature of AMD and Intel processors that allows virtual machines to run their own hypervisor program (i.e. VirtualBox, VMware Workstation Pro/Player, VMware vSphere/ESXi, KVM/QEMU, Proxmox VE) and virtual machines. Simply put, nested virtualization allows a virtual machine to run more virtual machines in it (using the same or a different […]
Once you’ve configured your Proxmox VE 8 server and NVIDIA GPU for PCI/PCIE passthrough and created a Windows 11 virtual machine (VM) on your Proxmox VE 8 server, you need to add your NVIDIA GPU to the Windows 11 Proxmox VE virtual machine. You also need to install the NVIDIA GPU drivers on the Windows […]
In this article, I am going to show you how to download the ISO image of Windows 11 and VirtIO Windows drivers on Proxmox VE 8, create a Windows 11 virtual machine (VM) on Proxmox VE 8, install Windows 11 on the Proxmox VE 8 virtual machine (VM), and install VirtIO drivers and QEMU guest […]
Proxmox VE 8 is one of the best open-source and free Type-I hypervisors out there for running QEMU/KVM virtual machines (VMs) and LXC containers. It has a nice web management interface and a lot of features. One of the most amazing features of Proxmox VE is that it can passthrough PCI/PCIE devices (i.e. an NVIDIA […]
In recent years, support for PCI/PCIE (i.e. GPU passthrough) has improved a lot in newer hardware. So, the regular Proxmox VE PCI/PCIE and GPU passthrough guide should work in most new hardware. Still, you may face many problems passing through GPUs and other PCI/PCIE devices on a Proxmox VE virtual machine. There are many tweaks/fixes/workarounds […]
Proxmox VE (Virtualization Environment) is an open-source enterprise virtualization and containerization platform. It has a built-in user-friendly web interface for managing virtual machines and LXC containers. It has other features such as Ceph software-defined storage (SDS), software-defined networking (SDN), high availability (HA) clustering, and many more. After the recent Broadcom acquisition of VMware, the cost […]
Most of the operating system distributes their installer program in ISO image format. So, the most common way of installing an operating system on a Proxmox VE virtual machine is using an ISO image of that operating system. You can obtain the ISO image file of your favorite operating systems from their official website. To […]
Keeping your Proxmox VE server up-to-date is important as newer updates come with bug fixes and improved security. If you’re using the Proxmox VE community version (the free version of Proxmox VE without an enterprise subscription), installing new updates will also add new features to your Proxmox VE server as they are released. In this […]
Proxmox VE 8 is the latest version of the Proxmox Virtual Environment. Proxmox VE is an open-source enterprise Type-I virtualization and containerization platform. In this article, I am going to show you how to download the ISO image of Proxmox VE 8 and create a bootable USB thumb drive of Proxmox VE 8 on Windows […]
On Proxmox VE, QEMU Guest Agent is installed on the virtual machines (VMs) for the following reasons: To send ACPI commands to Proxmox VE virtual machines to properly shutdown the virtual machines from the Proxmox VE web UI. To freeze/suspend the Proxmox VE virtual machines while taking backup and snapshots to make sure that no […]
On Proxmox VE, QEMU Guest Agent is used to: Send ACPI commands to Proxmox VE virtual machines to properly shutdown the virtual machines from the Proxmox VE web UI. Freeze/Suspend the Proxmox VE virtual machines while taking backup and snapshots to make sure that no files are changed while taking backups/snapshots. Resume suspended Proxmox VE […]
