Ideally Proxmox should be installed on bare metal, however for testing purposes I needed to install this as a VM on Hyper-V Server 2019.
On a default install of Proxmox, two issues will be hit which we need to overcome.
Nested Virtualization Fix To ensure Proxmox VMs and CTs harness hardware virtualization, resolving potential performance bottlenecks, follow these steps:
Open PowerShell on the Hyper-V Server Execute the command: Set-VMProcessor -VMName 'vmname' -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $True This exposes virtualization extensions, eliminating the reliance on software virtualization and enhancing overall performance.The other day, I attempted to create a new Laravel application using Sail but encountered timeouts during the process:
curl https://laravel.build/example-app | bash After some investigation, I identified the issue was with the Sail Docker container trying to download packages and timing out. Subsequent testing with other containers yielded the same results.
Internet searches pointed to Windows DHCP as the culprit. Through trial and error, I started by instructing WSL not to auto-generate the /etc/resolv.I’ve had a Unifi UAP (AC-Lite) for a good few years but never managed to get VLANs working on it. That and the annoyance of it not working on my PoE switch had me buying a TP-Link EAP-225 to replace it. Of course the newer TP-Link provides faster wifi but it was also very simple to setup VLANs onto the SSIDs.
As it tends to happen, replacing the Unifi AP meant also stumbling across how to setup VLANs onto it’s SSIDs.
