Notes on installing proxmox

Systems: EliteForums TH80 1TB drive in second slot

  • Changes ACPI->AC Failure Resume to 'last state'
  • Boot->Qiet Boot: Off
  • Messed with boot order to something that seemed sane (USB first)

First system

I booted up to windows to see if I could get the Windows Key. Via powershell:

(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey
3VJN2-PQTPX-BH3QG-HCRCC-J44C2
# Note, for future systems, you can run bash:
strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

Inserted proxmox and saved and rebooted Plugged in network Install Proxmox VE (console) Got DHCP: 10.42.42.86 Target hard disk->Advanced Options, set "swap size" to 8, set "Maximum root volume size" to 128 Timezone to America/Detroit

Static IP (10.42.42.21) with 10.42.42.1 as DNS server

Take 2. Let it get a DHCP lease, then assigned a static mapping, rebooted and restarted installation.

Disable Enterprise Repositories

In UI, go to proxmox01, updates->repositories. DIsable both enterprise repos, and add both no-subscription repos.

apt update
apt install net-tools

Fix: Network didn't come up on next boot

vim /etc/network/interfaces
# Copy `iface enp1s0` line to `enp2s0`
# Add `enps20` to the bridge-ports

Reviewed settings, ran upgrade.

Second system wouldn't DHCP. Why?

Created 3x virtual machines on the local-lvm volume

k8s4, 5, and 6.
