# proxmox

**Role:** Proxmox VE hypervisor — VM and LXC container host
**IP:** 192.168.50.11
**Web UI:** https://proxmox.tophermayor.com (via [[traefik]])
**Uptime:** 15 days, 14h (as of 2026-04-28)
**CPU Load:** 6.83 (elevated — investigate if persistent)

## Overview

Proxmox VE is the hypervisor layer for the homelab. It runs VMs and LXC containers including TrueNAS, ubuntu-server, and 8 LXCs (media stack, traefik, test, hermes, decypharr). It is the physical foundation of the cluster — the Raspberry Pis (ice, grizzley) may run on Proxmox as VMs/LXCs or as bare metal.

**Note:** `qm` and `pct` commands fail via SSH as the `bear` user because `/etc/pve` is a FUSE mount. Run them via `ssh bear@proxmox sudo qm list` or directly on the host console.

Notable: `SHGS31` pool is ~47% full. `backups` pool has 4.2 TB used.

## Wake-on-LAN

Proxmox can wake hosts via WoL. [[https://github.com/TopherMayor/wakehost|wakehost]] integrates Proxmox VMs with Wake-on-LAN for homelab automation.

## DNS / Network

After UniFi network controller changes, Proxmox's `systemd-resolved` may lose DNS. See [[nfs-storage]] skill for the fix.

## Access

```bash
ssh bear@192.168.50.11
sudo qm list        # list VMs
sudo pct list       # list LXCs
sudo pvesm status   # storage pools
```
