Proxmox

Introduction

I ran the Proxmox setup on my mini-pc more times than I want to admit, but it was the very first thing I installed. This is pretty much needed to run the whole homelab.

Life saving Proxmox commands

Manualy shutdown LXC containers

Life saving commands if a container does not respond in the Proxmox GUI.

  1. Connect to the CLI of your Proxmox server
  2. Then list the containers: pct list
  3. Try to shutdown the container in the CLI first: sudo pct shutdown <CONTAINER-ID>
  4. If that does not work you can force the container to poweroff: sudo pct shutdown <CONTAINER-ID> --forceStop 1
