After wrong network card assigned my serwer died... and you saved my life with this material. Thanks a lot!!! Looking forward for some more great stuff from you!!

[JonBrookes]

This is a great video, thanks very much for this introduction to command line interface for Proxmox. I can see from this how to get started and also how to take it further thanks to your straight forward and easy to follow introduction . Like you I love the CLI and so from this I can see that the cli for Proxmox is so simple to use, I dont know why we would ever user the web interace again for simple scriptable tasks !

[mr.knight]

Great job. I am watching at the moment. All episodes are great.

[udayarpandey]

Now, 4 more videos to go..the series has been awesome. :))

[joshuasaimon]

Thanks, but i am getting "VM quit/powerdown failed" all the time when i try to shutdown or rebooting?

[FantasyPitzy]

Hello! If you don't mind, why are you allocating RAM to VMs and CTs in round base2 increments?

[davidsanusi]

Is it possible to manage the proxmox ve from a remote client machine via cli without making an ssh connection to the proxmox server or web interface in a way similar to how aws-cli does it with AWS? Ideally, we want to have the proxmox server locked away and only interact with it via api.

[fstoplive]

How do I setup Proxmox as primary workstattion? Tried the #qm start 100 It starts up but that doesn't launch the VM? Can I run Virt Manager on this PC with Proxmox to run VMs?

[leonneteng]

Awesome content, I appreciate every videos.

[simonsonjh]

I think you mentioned a class about adding storage, but I do not see one.

[taksela]

Wish you could talk about NVIDIA 1650 super pcie pass through in the next cheapter

[yuriw]

I’d like to see more in-depth commands reviews

[rubberduckey]

I needed this last week, after installing an os I had a vm stuck in a boot loop.

Also just got the Mastering Ubuntu book and I can't put it down.

[jonathanrider]

Hi Jay - I'm just working my way through your series - your work is awesome! The qm command returns "command not found" - nor can I seem to install it with apt nor snap; how do I get it installed?

How to recover proxmox VM root password, not proxmox root?
