IT 3300 : Proxmox Chapter 3

Host system administration

Host system

• based on debian
• can use apt
• /etc/apt/sources.list has the repos that Proxmox should look in.
• Different repos for service levels:
  • Enterprise repo (enabled by default but requires a subscription)
  • No-subscription repo (supposedly packages arent as heavily tested and validated)

Make sure we are updated

• apt update
• apt dist-upgrade #we should be on 7.2-7 at least after that

Host system - Time synchronization

In order for nodes to cluster together, they must have precisely synchronized time:

• cat /etc/chrony/chrony.conf
• Use the date command on all nodes to verify.
