    I'm looking for 8T 1GB/s uplink and downlink for which I'm willing to pay $200 to transfer it if it's good enough to transfer

    If anyone can publish a working howto to put ZFS with Proxmox 7 on that KS-LE, lemme know.
    I just wasted 3 hours to get this bitch booting, but it refuses to boot.

    Sadly, the Server does not have a IPMI.

    Easy:

    1. Boot into rescue
    2. Install qemu-system

    apt-get update && apt-get -y install qemu-system-x86

    1. Place Proxmox ISO into /tmp

    wget -O "https://www.proxmox.com/..../proxmox-iso-url.com/..." /tmp/install.iso

    You have to generate yourself a download URL urself as proxmox uses redirection for their download link. (Start download on Chrome. CTRL+J and copy URL

    1. Start ISO using Qemu and install

    qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::8006-:8006 -m 4096M -localtime -enable-kvm -hda /dev/sda -hdb /dev/sdb -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -cdrom /tmp/install.iso -boot d

    1. Forward port 5900 using Putty to localhost:5900

    VNC to display :0 (Thats port 5900)

    ZFS RAID1 wasn't working for me: after a reboot the system woudn't get online; on the other hand, with ext4 on one hard drive or btrf in RAID1 it would come online just fine. I was pulling my hair until I narrowed the issue down to this option I was using: -bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd. It's supposed to load a UEFI firmware in QEMU, and it seemed the right thing to do, except it apparently isn't compatible with ZFS. Anyone has a clue of an explanation?

    Here are the complete commands I used (working for me now):

    wget http://download.proxmox.com/iso/proxmox-ve_7.1-2.iso -P /tmp
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -nodefaults -cdrom /tmp/proxmox-ve_7.1-2.iso -hda /dev/sda -hdb /dev/sdb -smp 4 -m 4G -net nic -net user -vga std -vnc localhost:0 -usbdevice tablet -k <my_keyboard_country_code>

    And the contents of /etc/network/interfaces

    auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address xxx.xxx.xxx.123/24
        gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.254
        hwaddress xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
        bridge-ports eno1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

    Anybody else trying to set this up with proxmox and Opnsense/Pfsense as a VM for routing (IPv4 and IPv6)?

    I found two threads discussing this, but they were not helpful.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/6fv2bf/kimsufi_assign_public_ip_to_pfsense_vm/

    TL;DR:
    Assign NIC MAC to virtual NIC of Pfsense VM, physical NIC of hosts gets new MAC
    This breaks my hosts connectivity as soon as I try to change the MAC (probably some OVH related mechanisms)

    Tried this one for at least IPv6 routing within PFsense VM, but doesn't work either.

    https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/opnsense-pfsense-ipv6-and-vips-vips-not-routable-ovh-network.59711/post-275643

    So in case anybody has solved my issues, feel free to comment!

    Br and happy holidays

    Since the wife is sleeping after so much food, I installed Windows Server 2019 on the KS-LE via qemu. Works a treat once you force RDP to use TCP and not UDP (I struggled with this a few days ago when I tried, RDP was unusable). Now let's install Hyper-V and do some NATing. Nice little server, when I think I almost let it go...

    How do you force rdp with TCP? What's issue with udp?

  • fredo1664fredo1664 Member

    Between my KS-LE and where I am there is 30ms latency and for some reason RDP is unusable out of the box. It's working on my SYS servers with the OVH image though (I suspect they allow only TCP through the firewall). I googled and there seem to be a consensus that if RDP is acting up, you should try TCP instead of UDP, which I did, and it's working.
    You can force the protocol via Group Policy: Administrative Templates --> Windows Components --> Remote Desktop Services --> Remote Desktop Session Host --> Connection --> Select RDP transport Protocols.

    i see. for me, I dont know whether its TCP/ udp - but its been overall stable with RDP. Thnx for sharing

    No problem. It's working for you on the KS-LE? Or on a SYS box with the official OVH image?

    Both.
    But I installed 2022 server via kvm...

    How can i access the official image for sys?

  • fredo1664fredo1664 Member

    How can i access the official image for sys?

    You need to add a Windows license, or rent one from SYS.

    Gotcha! Have you tried adding MSDN license key on SyS License page? does it work?

    I don't know but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

    Windows Server 2019 for learning. A Hyper-V VM running RHEL 8 to replace my linode VPS, hosting a few small websites.

    This is my first OVH server. I have tried many years in the past to order something from them but they always said I was a fraud so gave up altogether for a decade.
    Their networking setup is weird especially on IPv6 side, but I have managed to have a full working proxmox with IPv6 and IPv4 after some 3 hours or more.
    Forwarding everything to a VM inside didnt work, neither separately, ipv4 or IPv6 at a time. The MAC trick doesnt seem to be working.

    That was my initial plan with it but the plan was rendered moot after I wont the SYS 2 lottery. Now I am getting FOMO about letting it go. Renewing it would be stupid.

    The price is crazy for what you get, can’t really go wrong keeping it! It’s interesting to see what other people are using it for aswell it’s a great machine

    I’m using it for a bunch of VMs that fit in the uptime gap between ‘24/7 pagerduty’ and home server

    For extra IPs I’m using the unofficial /64 and WireGuard over ipv6 to a SYS box with spare IPs

    Not bad!
    Since there's only one IP, the Windows Server is doing the NAT for the RHEL guest, so I had to learn how to do that on Windows. Also learnt how to have IIS act as a reverse proxy for the websites in the guest. I use an OpenVPN client on it as well, which connects to my home router, so the KS-LE has an IP on my LAN. SMB is pretty slow due to the latency and the VPN, but it's working, I can access shares from any device at home.
    For the price, it's good fun.

    You mean IPv4 extra IPs, right, because you have a full /64 to use regarding IPv6.
