====== 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.

=== "No Active Subscription" alert when logging into the GUI ===
Unless one has a paid subscription to ProxMox, there will be an alert posted in the GUI at each login, which must be clicked on to dismiss.  To eliminate this annoyance…

Edit the file **/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlb.js** (making a backup is encouraged).

Find the following two lines:
  if (res === null || res === undefined || !res || res
  .data.status.toLowerCase() !== 'active') {

Replace them with the following:
  if (false) {

Save the file.  Refresh the browser.

=== 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).
