Resize Proxmox VM disks

GNOME LATEST POST, Proxmox

1. Resizing guest disk General considerations When you resize the disk of a VM, to avoid confusion and disasters think the process like adding or removing a disk platter. If you enlarge the hard disk, once you have added the disk plate, your partition table and file system knows nothing about the new size, so you have to act inside the VM to fix it. gnome proxmox If you reduce (shrink) the hard disk, of course removing the last disk plate will probably destroy your file system and remove the data in it! So in this case it is paramount to act in the VM in advance, reducing the file system and the partition size. SystemRescueCD comes very handy for it, just add its iso as cdrom of your VM and set boot priority to CD-ROM. Shrinking disks is not supp...

Proxmox Cloud-Init OS template creation

GNOME LATEST POST, Proxmox

In this guide we will go over creating a Proxmox KVM Template from a Cloud Image. This same process will work for any Cloud-Init Openstack based image type you can find online. Having done a number of these for our Proxmox based VPS service I wanted to post up a guide to help anyone else looking to do the same thing. My workflow for customizing one of those for use with Proxmox with cloud-init deployment from WHMCS and root login is below. Once you setup one template you can rapidly reinstall new containers and test stuff. Setup Environment If not installed already installed you will need libguestfs-tools : apt-get install libguestfs-tools To edit the image before importing. We will use virt-edit which is a part of libguestfs-tools. For the sake of ...

How to add storage to Proxmox

Proxmox

Using an HDD for the proxmox host, the VMs and the containers was causing delays and long iowait.After upgrading to an SSD there was a spare 1TB hard drive that could be used for storing containers that write constantly big chunks of data to the hdd,something that can cause increased wear to the ssd. Since the needs are not complicated the setup is simple and does not use raid,zfs etc. After the hdd setup, an elasticsearch stack container with netflow analysis was moved to the hdd,and although the read speeds do not match the performance of the containers running from the ssd, the hdd not having anything else running has an amazing increase in data read compared to the previous setup where the proxmox host and the VMs were based on the same hdd.This tutorial covers the following sub...
