Proxmox Virtual Machine Hypervisor

If you're looking for a free virtual machine hypervisor that you can run through a standard web interface, then Proxmox might just be for you.

Years ago I used proxmox for a non-profit’s VM hosting and it worked a treat. Intuitive to setup (didn’t really know what I was doing at the time) and it ran for over 10 years.

I'd say the only downside to Proxmox as a VM server is that it doesn't allow you to emulate non-x64 CPUs like you can with virt-manager, at least not from the UI.

Proxmox makes VM creation and management very easy (specially with PCIe passthough). The real winner though, is using LXC containers which boot almost instantly and use less resources than VM's.

Ahh nice! VMM's great for if you need a desktop in addition, but if you don't... Plus with Proxmox you get easy access to VMs and LXCs - which I've found LXCs are great if you've got an Intel CPU with the integrated GPU for doing like jellyfin, frigate or media encoding since you don't have to pass through the GPU to it and can be shared amongst several LXCs (with passthrough you have to give it to one VM). I originally started with VirtualBox Headless in 2009 on a netbook and have just moved from there since virtualisation is great! P.S you're definitely wearing a shirt in this one haha :D

Cool to see you revisit this, thanks for the vid.

The best part of proxmox is how easy clustering is. Set up two hosts, then you can live migrate the VMs between hosts with the push of a button. Makes hardware maintenance a breeze (until you run out of memory, or try to shut down the whole cluster).

How often does your group catch up at Mt Cootha?
I live locally however, this Saturday I have a work commitment until late afternoon.

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with D.

You might want to add a tutorial to change the update repos to the nonsubscription sources.

Good man. You listened to your watchers!!

What do we think about this? "Nginx web server forked as Freenginx"

The title kinda surprised me -- Proxmox hasn't changed much since you covered it. I wonder if I'm guilty of commenting before searching someone's video list. Probably :|

Upvote por proxmox, and please test LCX Containers.
