Rice PVE Login and Banner
If you want to show Copyright and other warning or display system information in the Login or Banner Page, you definitely can do it.
Proxmox
Stuff I use on Proxmox or have tested. My HomeLab is today full of Proxmox servers, clustered and standalone machines. I prefer used enterprise servers but I also have NUCs and self builds. I prefer HPE over Dell and TP-Link for Lever 2 and HPE for Level 3 switches.
Build
Export/Import of ZFS Pools
Upgraded your server, but you need your old ZFS pools. How to import your olde files. Sometimes it's better to reinstall the Proxmox rather than trying to fix a broken system.
Build
Cloud Images & Cloud-init
One of the supporting pillars of virtualization is the use of Cloud-Init and Cloud Images. Setting up VMs is easy and fast. The process is easy to automate and adapt to CI/CD.
Networking
PVE Node Router and SDN
Running services on a PVE node is a perfect place to simulate networking. For the basic setup, we are to use SDN and OPNsense. Setting up a virtual or dedicated NIC as WAN and set up an SDN network for our VM/CT to use.
Proxmox
Proxmox IP2tag – tag by IP
This script automatically assigns tags containing IP addresses to virtual machines and containers running in a Proxmox environment. It is an alternative to lxc-iptags but is more extensive and flexible in many ways.

More New Themes for Proxmox
You can make a new theme for Proxmox, and many have done so. The oldest came to PVE 6. The most feamose was "PVE Discord Dark", now we have some newer themes: Nord PVE, Solar PVE and new forks of PVE Discord Dark.
Backup
Upgrade of PBS 3 to PBS 4
It starts to be that time again. Debian Trixie was released and as Proxmox follows Debian lead we can now upgrade our Proxmox Backup Server from version 3 → version 4
Backup
Upgrade of PVE 8 to 9
It starts to be that time again. Debian Trixie was released and as Proxmox follows Debian lead we can now upgrade PVE 8 → PVE 9 and PBS 3 → PBS 4
Backup
PVE Backup to a USB device
Some installations do not need or can afford a PBS. But as backups are the essential security you have for keeping your work safe from you and others, you may like this solution.
Networking
Renaming your NICs
Due to the new kernel recognizing more features of some hardware, like for example virtual functions, and interface naming often derives from the PCI(e) address, some NIC may change their name, in which case the network configuration needs to be adapted.
Proxmox
Modding the GUI
To add more info from the sensors and show that information (fan speed; drives, CPU and RAM temps) directly on the Summary Page. Remove the nag-screen that we do not like (because it forces us to do extra clicks). Or updating all the containers by a command or automatically using CRON scheduling.
Proxmox
New Theme for PVE
I like ricing my Linux stuff. This post is about a team from "dabeastnet". It will replace the default Proxmox theme. It's a Solarized inspired Light & Dark CSS theme for the PVE web UI. And yes, it will automatically switch to dark mode whenever the PVE dark theme is loaded.
