====== Proxmox Notes ======
===== Containers ======
==== Update Template List ====
To force Proxmox to update the available template you can run''pveam update''. It does this daily, but it might not have done it on a fresh install, so you can force it before you select a container template.

===== Storage =====
==== Bind Mounts ====
A **bind mount** allows you to pass storage mounted by the node/host to a container as if it was locally mounted by it as well. A dedicated ZFS storage vault you want shared to the network is the primary use case. There are a few different ways to achieve this, but the article link below covers the recommended way. The container can then handle SMB/NFS shares in whatever way needed.

[[https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Unprivileged_LXC_containers|ProxMox Wiki article for Bind-Mounts]]

==== Import Existing ZFS Pool ====
Make sure ProxMox sees the pool with ''zpool list''.

Mount the pool with ''zpool import poolname''. Augment with ''zpool import -f poolname'' if pool was not properly exported from original host.

The pool should be mounted at ''/poolname''. This pool does not show up in the GUI by default. A PVE purposed store can be added to it to be utilized by the system.

===== Networking =====
==== Allow Root SSH in Container ====
''nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config''

Uncomment ''PermitRootLogin'' and change value to ''yes''.

Save and restart ssh service ''systemctl restart ssh''

==== Change PVE Node IP Address ====
I you need to change the IP of the PVE Node after setting it up on a different network you need to manually set it via CLI. With physical command line access, change the IP address in the following 2 locations:

''nano /etc/network/interfaces''

''nano /etc/hosts''
