    • RE: Proxmox os backup and restore

      @ronneyb you may want to follow these steps:

      Backup:

      1. Log in to the Proxmox web interface.

      2. Select the node or server you want to backup.

      3. Click on the "Backup" button.

      4. Choose the type of backup you want to create, either full backup or incremental backup.

      5. Select the backup storage location.

      6. Click on the "Backup Now" button to start the backup process.

      Restore:

      1. Log in to the Proxmox web interface.

      2. Select the node or server where you want to restore the backup.

      3. Click on the "Restore" button.

      4. Choose the backup file to restore.

      5. Choose the restore options, including backup type, target storage location, and network configuration.

      6. Click on the "Restore Now" button to start the restore process.

      7. After the restore process is complete, restart the Proxmox node or server.

      Note: It is essential to follow the backup and restore process carefully to avoid data loss or system failure. Always test the backup and restore process before performing it on a production system.

    • RE: HelpWire: legit or no?

      I don't know if this applies or not. I would be asking for references from current customers if available.

      Maybe VLC might be a good option since it plays almost al media type files.

    • RE: Proxmox: iOS or Android tools

      @dbeato Like others have posted they do have web admin portal. I find it so easy to navigate on that portal. Very easy and not so troublesome like some ESXI interfaces.

    • RE: Decrypting a LUKS encrypted drive at boot

      Here is something i found:

      1. Ensure LUKS Drive is Configured
        If the drive isn’t encrypted yet, you can encrypt it with LUKS:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX
      Replace /dev/sdX with the appropriate drive/partition. Be cautious—this step will erase all data on the drive.

      1. Add the Drive to /etc/crypttab
        Edit the /etc/crypttab file to configure the system to unlock the drive at boot.

      Open the file:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo nano /etc/crypttab
      Add an entry for the encrypted drive:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptname /dev/sdX none luks
      cryptname: A name for the decrypted device (used later in /etc/fstab).
      /dev/sdX: Path to the encrypted device.
      none: Use none for a passphrase prompt at boot or specify a path to a key file.
      luks: Indicates LUKS encryption.
      Example:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptdrive /dev/sdb1 none luks
      3. Add the Decrypted Device to /etc/fstab
      To automatically mount the decrypted drive after unlocking:

      Edit /etc/fstab:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo nano /etc/fstab
      Add an entry for the decrypted drive:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      /dev/mapper/cryptname /mnt/mountpoint ext4 defaults 0 2
      Replace:

      /dev/mapper/cryptname with the mapped device from /etc/crypttab.
      /mnt/mountpoint with your desired mount point.
      ext4 with your file system type.
      4. Generate an Initramfs
      If the root file system or a critical drive is encrypted, you’ll need to update the initramfs to include decryption tools.

      Update the initramfs:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo update-initramfs -u
      Verify that the cryptsetup package is installed in your initramfs configuration.

      1. Test Boot Behavior
        Reboot the system and observe the decryption process:

      If you specified none in /etc/crypttab, you should be prompted for a passphrase at boot.
      If a key file was used, the drive should decrypt automatically.
      6. Using a Key File for Automatic Decryption
      To avoid entering a passphrase at boot, use a key file:

      Generate a key file:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/root/luks-keyfile bs=4096 count=1
      Set permissions:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo chmod 600 /root/luks-keyfile
      Add the key file to the LUKS header:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdX /root/luks-keyfile
      Update /etc/crypttab:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptname /dev/sdX /root/luks-keyfile luks
      Update the initramfs:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo update-initramfs -u
      Reboot to test automatic decryption.

      1. Troubleshooting
        Device not found during boot: Ensure the correct device path is used in /etc/crypttab.
        Passphrase prompt not appearing: Verify cryptsetup is installed and included in initramfs.
        Boot hangs or fails: Boot into a live session, comment out entries in /etc/fstab or /etc/crypttab, and investigate.
