Proxmox Skill

Proxmox VE virtualization platform reference for VM management, containers, clustering, and homelab infrastructure.

Quick Reference

# VM management (qm)
qm list                           # List all VMs
qm status <vmid>                  # Check VM status
qm start <vmid>                   # Start VM
qm stop <vmid>                    # Stop VM (graceful)
qm shutdown <vmid>                # Shutdown VM (ACPI)
qm unlock <vmid>                  # Remove lock
qm config <vmid>                  # Show VM config

# Container management (pct)
pct list                          # List all containers
pct status <ctid>                 # Check container status
pct start <ctid>                  # Start container
pct stop <ctid>                   # Stop container
pct enter <ctid>                  # Enter container shell

# Cluster management (pvecm)
pvecm status                      # Cluster status and quorum
pvecm nodes                       # List cluster nodes

# API shell (pvesh)
pvesh get /nodes                  # List nodes via API
pvesh get /nodes/<node>/status    # Node resource status

# Backup (vzdump)
vzdump <vmid> --mode snapshot --storage <storage>
vzdump --all --compress zstd

Validation Checklist

Before deploying VMs/containers:

Cluster status healthy (pvecm status)
Node resources available (CPU, RAM, disk)
Storage accessible and mounted
Network bridges configured correctly
VLAN tags match network design
Resource allocation within node limits
HA configuration correct (if enabled)
Backup schedule in place
Naming convention followed

VM vs LXC Quick Decision

Factor	Use VM	Use LXC
OS	Windows, BSD, any	Linux only
Isolation	Full kernel isolation	Shared kernel
Performance	Good	Better (lighter)
Startup	Slower	Fast
Density	Lower	Higher
Complexity	Any workload	Simple services

Homelab Network VLANs

VLAN	Purpose	Proxmox Bridge
5	Management (Web UI, API, SSH)	vmbr5
1	Trusted network	vmbr0
11	Storage (NFS/Ceph, MTU 9000)	vmbr11
12	High-speed transfers	vmbr12
