Setting Up NVIDIA vGPU (Mediated Devices) in Proxmox VE
NVIDIA vGPU lets several VMs share one physical GPU instead of dedicating the whole card to a single guest. Here's the complete setup: host driver, SR-IOV, resource mapping, VM configuration, guest drivers, licensing, and the troubleshooting steps that actually matter.
Common Mistakes New Proxmox VE Users Make (And How to Avoid Them)
From deleting local-lvm by accident to locking yourself out with the firewall, these are the beginner mistakes that trip up almost every new Proxmox VE admin — and how to avoid or fix each one.
CPU Pinning and NUMA Tuning in Proxmox VE: A Practical Guide to vCPU Affinity and Topology
Map your host's NUMA topology, pin vCPUs to physical cores with affinity, and bind VM memory to the right NUMA node — a hands-on guide to deterministic, low-latency performance tuning in Proxmox VE.
How to Remove a Node From a Proxmox VE Cluster (Safely, Without Breaking Quorum)
Decommissioning hardware or cleaning up after a dead node? Here's the full, correct order of operations for removing a node from a Proxmox VE cluster: draining workloads, tearing down Ceph and replication jobs, running pvecm delnode, recovering from quorum loss, and cleaning up everything the command leaves behind.
How to Add iSCSI Storage in Proxmox VE (With LVM on Top for VM Disks)
Connecting Proxmox VE to a SAN over iSCSI is only half the job — a raw LUN can hold just one VM disk. This guide shows how to add the iSCSI target and layer LVM on top so you get real shared storage for VM disks across a cluster.
Proxmox VE Disk Image Formats Explained: Raw vs qcow2 vs VMDK
Raw, qcow2, and vmdk look like an arbitrary dropdown when you add a VM disk in Proxmox VE, but each one trades off snapshots, thin provisioning, and I/O overhead differently. Here is what each format actually does, which storage backends support them, and how to convert between them without guesswork.
How to Run Docker Inside an LXC Container on Proxmox VE
Docker's overlay2 driver, unprivileged containers, and ZFS storage don't get along by default. Here's the working Proxmox VE 9.2 configuration - nesting, keyctl, and fuse-overlayfs - plus the backup caveats most guides skip.
Understanding Proxmox VE Disk Cache Modes: Write Back, Write Through, None, and Direct Sync Explained
Learn what each Proxmox VE disk cache mode actually does at the QEMU level, why ZFS needs Direct sync instead of the default, and how to choose safely between No cache, Write back, Write through, and Write back (unsafe) without risking data loss on host failure.
Privileged vs Unprivileged LXC Containers in Proxmox VE: Understanding the Security Tradeoffs
Every Proxmox container is created privileged or unprivileged, and that one checkbox decides how much of your host a container escape could reach. Here's what the two modes actually do at the kernel level, and how to choose and convert between them.
