I think the hardest thing for me was the network config. I ended up just plugging it into Port 1 the router like I intended to anyway. So I can't say your video got me over this 5 hour hump but I can say this was clearly explained and I'll be returning to it. Thanks!

Excellent. Thank you for the straightforward explanation.

Thanks to this video, I know how to change the node name! Thank You!

Who knew that changing the fqdn would change the node name. I have found that knowhere else but your video!

That is why there are so many people asking how to change the node name to add to a cluster, because every new install defaults to pve as the node name.

I had my first node, named pve, then installed another server and it was also named pve, so I had to change that name the hard way.

Thank you!! I'm moving from having my dedicated server to run Plesk to using proxmox8 to have a Plesk VM and separate VMs for seedbox, nextcloud, etc. I think this will make things easier, especially with snapshot backups.

The stated goal was to move from Enterprise to Community packages. Why did you comment out Ceph? Just not using it? Or, does it interfere with community packages?

I mainly work with HP Proliant servers & configure either RAID 1 or 5 depending on the goals/needs of the project. I wanted to ask if there's any danger in using the entire hard disk capacity like in VMWare ESXi deployments when installing the Proxmox operating system? Or can I reserve one hard disk slot for the O.S. & use the rest (configured with RAID) for the installation & configuration of virtual machines?

I wish you would of stared from how to prep the computer before install

How do you open the browser from the Debian command line?

Host disk for proxmox can be a HDD 256g or more size is needed? And other 8T for VM and 1T ssd for containers? Or what is the recomendation? Raid 1 for boot proxmox? 🙏🙏
