Johnny Depp alternate version where he became a tech instead of an actor, good video.

This is such a tremendous video. I've been in IT for over 22 years now and had a Proxmox question today. Heading down the Google rabbit hole led me to this video, which not only answered my question, but taught me 15 other things. I love how the creator of the video is able to clearly explain in 30 seconds what other videos struggle to explain in 10 minutes, and this happens over and over. This 23 minute video contains more actionable information than any 23 hours of content I usually consume. I'm truly glad I found this channel today and I can't wait to see what else I'll learn from your channel.

Found this channel recently as I decided to setup a home server. In the space of a week I've gone from having zero idea of what to buy and how to set it up, to having a basic parts list and deep diving on Proxmox installations 😂 Can't thank you enough Tim 🙏 you keep making vids, I'll keep watching them mate 👍
@HenrikLarsson458
The best homelab content on YT atm. I appreciate that you learn as you go and are upfront with things that you might not fully understand 👍
@zepcom
On the fdisk step to clear out disk partition information, you can avoid all the extra steps (p, d, etc for each partition) by just hitting g (write a gpt partition) followed by w (write to disk) ... saves lots of keystrokes when clearing out multiple drives.
@rklauco
One more home-lab related item I do - set the bios not to auto-start after power restore (tends to break a lot of electronics if your grid is a bit unstable or your lovely neighbor turns whole building breakers on-off-on-off 5 times in a row in 10 seconds). And, then, to be able to start the machine once the power is back on, I set also WakeOnLan mode to g to enable it - this will allow me to start the server using simple WoL command from any machine, even without IP address, just on the same switch and VLAN. And then you can go and try to talk some sense to your neighbor, before you find out he is completely drunk and barely stands on his feet :)
@JoshBagwell
In my quest for finding an OS to put on my soon-to-be-built server, I came across your Proxmox tutorials. Absolutely LOVE them.
@GeoffSeeley
@2:50 you should be using the command "pveupgrade" instead of "apt dist-upgrade". The former is a wrapper that calls the latter but it also will sync other things like EFI boot partitions, etc.
@hoozyx
I like how you don't sugar coat the things you don't know/understand. Still, you still give what you have learned is the recommended selection.
@EmilioAyala
As a Proxmox noob, this has been the most helpful starter vid I've come across. thank you so much for taking the time!

As a systems and network guy I can tell you your LACP extra-lane explanation was spot on! I'm going to steal that because it's so simple yet so clear.
In a little more detail, the LACP participants like the switch and the hypervisor choose which of the physical gigabit ports in the bond to use ("hashing"), based on a number of things such as source IP+port, destination IP+port (and possibly others such as MAC addresses). This means a single TCP connection, which has a static set of IPs and ports, will always use the same switch port, and will never surpass the speed of that one port (i.e. 1Gbit) while another connection may be using the other port, also maxing it out at 1Gbit. Plus of course, if you lose/unplug one, you'll have instant failover.
@rx2gamingofficial
The best part was where you talked about the VLANs. I would love to see a shorter form video that has an easy to find name for people looking to do this specific thing. This is the best tutorial I was able to find. ❤❤
@balthazar2k
Not sure if someone pointed this out but the reason it gives you a range that has to be "near" physically is that each block of 4 ports is it's own little cluster. In an 8 port switch there are two boards with 4 ports each, those are then tied to the backplane, in a 16 port switch there are 4 boards with 4 ports each, etc. etc. It dawns on me now I have never tried to bond ports that weren't on the same switch group on the big boy switches we use at work but I wouldn't be entirely shocked if they had a similar restriction (though port groups larger than 4 definitely exist).
@sking379
Love your videos Tim, the fact that you recently started creating videos and just like that we all depend on them is amazing, I love the way you explain things, the content of your videos and even your background, keep up the amazingly detailed work, the key for me is on the details that others ignore..!
@ricki-bobby
#1 on anyone's list that has multiple HDD's in a system should be to disconnect every single drive but the one you want to install Proxmox on. I learned this the hard way. It's unfortunate that they do not allow you to select the media to install this on. Before I knew it I had overwritten my Linux Mint drive for good
@stitch10925
One thing you might want to think about: When creating a template, make sure the main disk is small. You can always expand the disk, but you can't shrink ik. Take a large main disk, and you're stuck with it.

Great job Tim on your videos. Learned several things as I'm new to Proxmox itself. Did you ever get your answer on the LAG? miimon is basically when one of the links goes down how long does it take to switch the traffic to the other link(s), 1000 is 1 sec. The hash part you select L2+L3, it takes the src/dst mac and ip does an xor on the bits and modulo of port count to get a number from 0 to however many links in the lag. Uses that to determine the port link to transmit that specific mac/ip src/dst pair. As you can see it does not "load balance" between the links, you can still oversubscribe a link. In your freeway scenario think of a toll station before getting onto the freeway asking your destination and it then directs you to the lane to use. There are other options like TLB/ALB that can get closer to a load balancing aspect, that is a much deeper topic and also depends on your switch side what it supports as well and its balancing algorithm's. Anyways keep up the great work and have me as a subscriber.

Great video, one thing I discovered when trying to enable IOMMU on proxmox when running on zfs is to add this command (root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs intel_iommu=on rootdelay=10) to (/etc/kernel/cmdline) and then run (update-initramfs -u -k all) and (pve-efiboot-tool refresh) as zfs somehow ignore the default grub directory when running grub-update. Hope that this help those who are having trouble enabling IOMMU.
