Using proxmox for the first time and I am a noob, I come back to your videos when I feel like I did something wrong and I can fix it from watching your video

Thanks for the fantastic and helpful video! Your Proxmox VE series has been incredibly useful to get up and running.

Great content and production too - keep up the amazing work!

Thanks for the walk though setting up QUEM guest agent. 👍

That worked fine ! Thank you for your tutorial :-) One thing I had to do because Proxmox could not format my sdb drive to store ISOs (wasn't a very fresh ssd) was to use sgdisk -Z /dev/sdb to clean /dev/sdb and then format it. After that it worked fine.

Linux guy here with a couple tips:

instead of typing out "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade" you can actually use carrots so after typing out "sudo apt-get update" you can then do " ^update^upgrade "
This works for any command.
Also when upgrading the base OS use "dist-upgrade" on a debian based system. this allows package upgrades without holding back packages (which hold back your updates) and can even turn your Ubuntu install into a psuedo rolling release

Weirdly satisfying getting it all done right haha.

Great content, even today this is super helpful, you even covered ssh, thank you my friend.

Running Ubuntu as LXC container is a more efficient way as overhead, especially memory overhead, is much lower. However, don't use the Proxmox Ubuntu container template because I've had a lot of issue with it. Using the LXC official Ubuntu template is such a joy!

I love you. I mean, not really like that...but...you know. Great content...super easy to understand.

[Rogosan]

Great content here ! Many thanks man ! It' s difficult understand some things for me cause I from Brazil..but..rss but making some efforts ...fantastic ..thank you ! I use Debian distros but ubuntu servers have their place !

[MattMcCullough]

I did this because of this fabulous video

[brokenthought]

another project done. easy to follow. thanks so much

[gaby]

sudo systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent
sudo systemctl status qemu-guest-agent
# this prevents having to reboot
also sometimes the correct netplan doesnt get applied on ubuntu server. this can be solved by manually applying the netplan. this happens because the name of the device gets changed. ie enps0 becomes enps1

Hi Tim great tutorial. I do need some help with copy and paste. after installing ubuntu on proxmox I have tried to install docker to get a cloudflare tunnel set up, but when I copy the docker commands I cannot paste these into the VNC window. I have tried Ctrl+V, Ctrl+shift+V and Ctrl+insert, I even tried installing some other application from another tutorial but ended up crashing my ubuntu program. I am a complete noob and only managed to get this far by following your guide step by step. Can you help
Regards Steve
