Batch mode is great! I didn’t realize it was added until just now hah

If you changed it after installing the OS in the VM, that would be the cause.

That looks like the bootloader is broken, or the VM BIOS settings got changed after install.

Nextcloud client/app compatible WebDAV server with a lightweight file browser webUI, and multi-user support.

Should be the closest thing to Google Drive without actually running Nextcloud.

The only issue is it looks like the Nextcloud iOS clients don’t work.

It’s pretty easy, you can browse files in an LXC backup and restore specific parts. For VMs you can just restore the whole VM and copy out what you need.

I back up all the directories and docker-compose files using Restic (via Backrest) stored on Backblaze B2, and also the whole Docker LXC via Proxmox’s backup function to a local HDD.

There’s a chance some databases could be backed up in an unusable state, but I keep like 30-50 snapshots going back months, so I figure if the latest one has a bad DB backup, I could go back another day and try that one.

I also don’t really have irreplaceable data stored in DBs, stuff like Immich has data in a DB that would be annoying to lose, but the photos themselves are just on the filesystem.

For testing Restic I pull a backup and just go through and check some of the important files.

Proxmox backup is really easy to test, as it just restores the whole LXC with a new ID and IP that I can test.

NP! That’s how I do it on proxmox, I’ll start the VM every so often and update it. Only takes a few seconds to clone so it’s nice and quick to do.

Simple method is just keep a ready to go VM and clone it.

I’m always wary of aftermarket stuff just because poor quality cells can sometimes catch fire for no reason at all.

I just don’t see how smaller social groups like forums or fedi stuff can survive if they need to potentially fight legal battles too.

What’s the difference vs using a governer with scaling like ondemand?

Thats an issue with how your fan curves are set up more than the cooler type. Not enough hysteresis and ramp smoothing.

Its also just less obnoxious with a good air cooler that’s still fairly quiet at 100% fans.

Good air coolers are usually as quiet as an AIO, sometimes quieter due to no pump noise.

Air cooling is really quite good unless you’re running a monster CPU with like 200W+ of TDP.

You can either:

A) Use a different port, just set up the new service to run on a port that’s not used by the other service.

B) If it’s a TCP service use a reverse proxy and a subdomain.

30 years of data and no backup system, sheesh.

It’s just a YAML thing, if you do FILEBROWSER_CONFIG:"/config/config.yaml" instead it might work with quotes.

It’s interesting because you’re not the first person to complain about getting ISOs in Proxmox, but on my instance if I click on my local storage it has an upload ISO button, and a download ISO from URL button right there, so it’s really simple.

It can also mount network storage with existing ISOs and just pull from that.

I don’t use ISOs very often though, either a Debian 12 container template, or a custom Debian 12 cloud-init VM I made and backed up, so I can just hit restore and it gives me a fresh VM with new networking config and everything through cloud-init automatically.

Is it all automated with versioning intervals and stuff? Or is restic required as a third party step and maintaining a duplicate of data on the server for it to grab?

Overall it sounds like a decent VM manager but is meant for enterprise stuff where they’ll be building their own backup systems.

That’s wild, I’ve been a PC gamer my whole life and I couldn’t imagine not being able to just copy/paste files around.
