Proxmox VE tips

Just some tips I gathered over time. All in one easily reachable place so I can share it wherever I want.
Please note that unless you see a shebang (#!/...) these code blocks are meant to be copy & pasted.
Some of the steps will not work if you run part of them in a script and copy paste other ones.

Before you start

I highly recommend installing the Web Archives extension in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox). It provides quick access to archive services and search engine caches.

Overview of archive services & caches

Wayback Machine: Best and largest webpage archive. You probably already use it. Wayback Machine is the only archival service that also performs automated crawling, so its coverage is much better than other archives. See usage tips on Wikipedia.
Archive.today (also known as Archive.is): A mid-sized service that takes

Ref: Exclusive Q&A: John Carmack’s ‘Different Path’ to Artificial General Intelligence

"So I asked Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s chief scientist, for a reading list. He gave me a list of like 40 research papers and said, ‘If you really learn all of these, you’ll know 90% of what matters today.’ And I did. I plowed through all those things and it all started sorting out in my head."

I rather expected @ilyasut to have made a public post by now after all the discussion of the AI reading list he gave me. A canonical list of references from a leading figure would be appreciated by many. I would be curious myself about what he would add from the last three years.

5 Steps for Creating Templates and Virtual Machines on Proxmox using Linux Distro's Cloud Images

This tutorial guides you through the process of creating Templates and Virtual Machines on Proxmox using cloud-based images from various Linux distributions. We provide clear instructions for Alma Linux 9, Amazon Linux 2, CentOS 9, Fedora 38, Oracle Linux 9, RHEL 9, Rocky Linux 9, and Ubuntu 23.04 Lynx Lobster.

Note: The instructions have been tested on Proxmox 8.0.4.

Let's begin by choosing the cloud-based image. If you already have your preferred Linux distribution, skip to the 1st step.

To assist in making informed choices when selecting a Linux distribution for your virtual machines, we've compiled a table showcasing key characteristics of each cloud image. This table provides a snapshot of important attributes, including kernel version, Python version, number of processes initialized after boot, number of packages installed, free memory after boot, VM disk size, root partition disk size, used size on t

Instructions to Update the BIOS/UEFI for an HP Laptop on Linux

To update the BIOS/UEFI firmware requires HP-specific files in the EFI System Partition, also referred to as ESP.

On a Linux system, the ESP is typically mounted on /boot/efi or /efi. Whithin you should also find a EFI directory, e.g. /boot/efi/EFI or /efi/EFI. This article assumes that the ESP is mounted on /efi and that the /efi/EFI directory exists. You can replace that with the mount point your system uses.

The HP-specific files are located in /efi/EFI/HP or /efi/EFI/Hewlet-Packard. These files typically come preinstalled in HP Windows PCs. If you have these files you could skip Install HP-specific files.

So I have spent my last 4 days to try get proxmox working with an nginx proxy. Due to how proxmox is built up I had to get clever with some rewrite, break some nginx rules and spend sleepless nights awake to try figure this out (to be honest I am no genius on web servers as I rarely have to touch them). Plus it seems like nobody (from my googling) had managed to set proxmox up to work behind a proxied subdir, understandably so as some of the html generated uses absolute paths for sources instead of relative paths and you need to deal with that.

This is the proxmox.conf file i ended up making (Replace all instances of pve.local:8006 with your internal proxmox ip and port) And replace publicwebsite.com with your website domain

NOTE: THIS IS FOR PVE6 and I have no plans to fix for PVE7 as I do not need it behind a reverse proxy anymore.

Linux Networking Reading List

Currently in no particular order. Most of these are kind of ancient.

Where's all the modern documentation? So much of what I've turned up searching is other folks complaining about having few options beyond reading source code.

The OREILLY books, while dated, seem to be some of the best available. Note that these can be read with a 7-day trial. Do this! At least get through the introduction section and first chapter of each to see if it's what you're after.
