I appreciate your time and energy in producing this content.

[benlayash]

You are a star, simple and precise . well done

[GutsyGibbon]

Great. The video was worth its weight in gold right at the beginning. I am just starting with Proxmox and I assumed the containers were ephemeral like other (Docker) containers. This makes things much easier for a web server or LAMP server where content and database live on after stop and restart. (If I understood you correctly.) Thanks!

Hi Ive been watching your videos on Proxmox and linux. Very Helpful! Thank You!

[bearvsshaan]

this is incredible, you're a fantastic teacher!

[redradoa]

[chrisumali]

Thanks for the info and demo, have a great day

[dominicburrows]

This was very helpful, Thank you very much!

[SuijoART]

I very appreciate your Proxmox serie thanks again. It's a great work. Do you plan to show how to configure the network cards of a VM with the CLI ?

[mguven]

great videos, could you make a video for mounting points to explain sharing data between containers?

[jSirBrickzAlot]

This is a great series Jay. I decided to get my son's old Dell Latitude 3500, which has a 256 FGB SSD, 8 gb of ram. Still managed to follow along so far, have the 2 Ubunto web servers running, 1 windows 10 vm with 4 gb ram, and now a containter. All running on this laptop. Also RDP'd to the windows machine while typing this. Think I'll pick up a mini pc to add . Eventually a small 2 disk nas. Living in a Condo space is a premium.

Great episode Jay as always.
Any chance to explore PCI pass through on LXC?. I think it will be very interesting to use LXC for running Deep Learning workloads with an Nvidia GPU, if it's possible.
Thanks in advance.

Great series came just in time for my new build!!!

[ricksmith]

I have been waiting for a series like this, thank you so much... I am following along as they are released. I got the ubuntu container going as you did. None of the debian container templates seem to boot? Is there something special to get those going? I did them as I did the ubuntu

[giancarlosrm]

Excellent content!! do you have any tutorial for add extra video card for the VMs. ?

[majorgear]

Question on container storage. if the machine I'm virtualizing is currently needs 150gb storage, do I make the rootfs drive that size? Or do I keep that one small, around 8gb as in your example, and add another drive? I ask because I noticed the "add" button under "disks" in the create ct setup wizard.

Thanks!

I've been using proxmox containers in production for web servers since about 2016. I really love them. It allows me to make the most use of my Hardware. I run about containers simultaneously. One container runs ha proxy which manages SSL certificates for all the hosts behind it. I really want to find a template for a container that runs nginx with WordPress on it. This is essential in my opinion. Apache is too wasteful with interrupt requests.

[mattgeo]

Will be nice know bit more about your server/hardware/networking setup if possible.
