====== ProxMox Notes ======
----
CLI command **qm** is your friend.  List/manipulate VMs and such with this utility.

=== Package updates fail after ProxMox install ===
The automatic package update script will fail, because ProxMox “assumes” you will have a subscription (silly ProxMox).  To fix this, the process must run at least once (and fail) and then it can be flipped to the “no-subscription repository” as follows…
  Select “Repositories” underneath “Updates”
  Disable the ceph-quincy and pve repositories
  Click “Add”
  In the Repository drop-down box, select “No-Subscription” and click Add.

=== Enable remote VNC login ability to ProxMox guests ===
Edit the file - **/etc/pve/local/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf**

Add **args: -vnc 0.0.0.0:77** to the end of the file (choose a unique number after the **:** for each guest)

A VNC connection to the guest is now possible by specifying the **host** IP address and the port chosen ("5977" in the example above).

=== Syslog not installed by default ===
To install:
  apt install -y rsyslog
  
=== Disable/remove the annoying "no subscription" message that pops during login ===
Login to the ProxMox node via ssh and run the following code:
  sed -Ezi.bak "s/(function\(orig_cmd\) \{)/\1\n\torig_cmd\(\);\n\treturn;/g" /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js && systemctl restart pveproxy.service
If/when the proxmox-widget-toolkit package gets updated, this command will need to be run again.
