    Purpose of this "Cahier":
    Cahier-01: Physical installation of Proxmox VE from the course “Proxmox-101” describes the installation of Proxmox VE on a physical hardware.

    Chapters:

    General description. Namely. Workstation configuration. BIOS and ISO file. Proxmox VE installation. RAID-1 ZFS mirror. Local-zfs storage directories. Web interface. Configuration of the second network card. Installation of utilities. Swap partition. Limiting memory used by ZFS. Post-pve-install.sh script. Snapshots and backups. Let’s Encrypt certificate for a LOCAL domain. Appendices. The vi editor. ISPconfig project. NethServer course.

    Proxmox VE:
    Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxmox_Virtual_Environment
    Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) is a FREE virtualization solution (under AGPLv3 license) based on the Linux KVM hypervisor, which also offers a container solution with LXC. It also offers optional paid support.
    This environment is provided with a “packaging” by Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH.
    Proxmox VE is a “bare metal” virtualization solution.
    Proxmox VE installation is done via an ISO image.
    The standard installation of Proxmox VE includes the following elements.
    • Full operating system (64-bit stable Debian Linux distribution).
    • Hard disk partitioning with LVM2. (We will use ZFS.)
    • Support for LXC (containers) and the KVM module (full virtualization).
    • Backup and restore tools.
    • Web administration and monitoring interface.
    • Cluster functions allowing live migration of virtual machines from one server to another (provided that shared storage, SAN, or Ceph is used, otherwise the migration causes a short interruption when restarting on another node of the cluster).
    ISPconfig project
    The ultimate goal of the ISPconfig project is to create your own ISPconfig server that can host
    an email service, one or more websites and even an e-commerce site.
    1. The first step is the creation of a Proxmox VE server to facilitate the development of this project.
    2. Next comes the creation of a virtual machine for the installation of a minimal Debian server.
    3. The next step is the installation and configuration of the ISPconfig server running under the Debian server.
    4. We add a UCG Ultra firewall to protect the network.
    5. We finish by connecting everything directly to the Internet.
