Description

Proxmox VE's intuitive interface, high availability, and unique central management system puts it on par with the world’s best virtualization platforms. Its simplicity and high quality of service is what makes it the foremost choice for most system administrators. Starting with a step-by-step installation of Proxmox nodes along with an illustrated tour of Proxmox graphical user interface where you will spend most of your time managing a cluster, this book will get you up and running with the mechanisms of Proxmox VE. Various entities such as Cluster, Storage, and Firewall are also covered in an easy to understand format. You will then explore various backup solutions and restore mechanisms, thus learning to keep your applications and servers safe. Next, you will see how to upgrade a Proxmox node with a new release and apply update patches through GUI or CLI. Monitoring resources and virtual machines is required on an enterprise level, to maintain performance and uptime; to achieve this, we learn how to monitor host machine resources and troubleshoot common issues in the setup. Finally, we will walk through some advanced configurations for VM followed by a list of commands used for Proxmox and Ceph cluster through CLI. With this focused and detailed guide you will learn to work your way around with Proxmox VE quickly and add to your skillset.

Before this book came out i had been anticipating it for long,,,And it definately lived up to my expectations...The approach taken towards understanding proxmox especially the newly built in firewall interface for each vm was very much appreciated...Thank you very much

This book came along for me after I had already jumped into the Proxmox scene. This book helped fill in the detail gaps like mortar with bricks.I love the examples and plan to start building more right away!

I bought this book after managing 2 Proxmox host for about 2 years. So far I was able to find out what I needed in the Proxmox forum. But I realized that it was less and less efficient. So I was looking for a good reference where I could find answers quickly. I was attracted by the sub title: Quick answers to common problems.As a summary I warmly recommend the book especially for 2 topics that are really well described: Network and Storage.The first chapters are ok for a reference but I have to admit that they were not very useful for me.Then comes the Network chapter. What is well done there is that the simple cases are addressed first but also more complex cases are well covered, very applicable and were very inspiring for my case. Diagrams are particularly clear and explicit.The storage chapter share the same qualities. For me the storage model of Proxmox, its flexibility and diversity, its management through a rich GUI is a quite unique strength. I had already read a lot on it. Here it is synthesized with the right level of abstraction. It was very useful for me to architect the right solution for my future setup.Finally some very good points in the last chapters like for instance the recommendation for update and upgrade that is one of the most stressful moment for an admin.Now some points that I would personally change:NFS with ZFS: adding a nice drawing (a la networking drawings) would be a real plusAbout FreeNAS, I would not encourage to talk about a VM install even only to learn, this is a real bad setup and could lead to real losses.About Firewall also I would not recommend to use the Proxmox one. With no custom macro, it could lead some people for instance to stay on port 22 for ssh which is not a good thing at all.And a very detail but that would be very helpful for people doing cut and paste of the shell commands from the book to a terminal: remove the starting # so we can select the full line very fast and paste, especially sometime there is no spacing with the first useful symbol.

I need to get back and dive into this further, but it did get me out of some binds early on, which really helped. If you don't know anything about Proxmox, this appears to be a good one to have.
