PS The status console works fine too, it shows unknown CPU but everything is loading so I'm sure a fix will soon follow for the pi, also, onboard ethernet is fine.

Hi, can you help me how to create a working boot ssd ? I also have a Orange Pi5 but for me not working. I try to create this UEFI ssd but failed. Please 🙏

yes and not really. I'm now running openwrt on libvirt (KVM stuff) on armbian on RK3399 - the kvm allows me to use "software flow offloading" on specific owrt kernel, which can't be working with a owrt container with the armbian kernel.

Proxmox can also do containers. If you are already familiar with the gui, it gives you an easy way to do a quick setup.

I use Proxmox on these arm for LXC purposes, I would never try full virtualisation. The main draw for me is easy provisioning but also the ability to use something like proxmox backup server for backups. Using something like the orange pi 5 plus, its also easy enough to create a full blown HA cluster with HA storage using ceph too.

I thought about doing this as we well.

Do you mean from the PCI Express interface on the PI or the built in iGPU on the SOC?

I have been trying that in the past with an iGpu of a nuc, and it has been insanely complex. Embarrassing for proxmox, considering it's supposed to make things easier by leaving the terminal out

@@marcely1199 Proxmox needs a GPU when booting up. You can *NOT* use it without a GPU until all the services and kernel modules are loaded. Afterwards, you might, with a bit of luck, run a GPU detach script that will on-the-fly detach the GPU from the host and re-attach it to a specific VM. However, under normal circumstances in a regular Linux environment with a desktop, that will mean that the sessions are logged out (assuming 1 GPU is present which needs to be passed through). I don't know what will happen if you successfully do this on a Proxmox machine. Might be worth a try. In theory that would mean you could pass through your single, Intel iGPU to a VM. If I am not mistaken, this might already be possible on newer iGPU's as I recall that the Intel Iris graphics have some sort of SR-IOV but I am not 100% on that.

You can easily passthrough GPU to Docker container. No specific hardware support required. But virtual machines require special hardware extensions like vt-d. One of the reasons why containers are better.

you can use gparted to create a fat32 patition

Same problem here...I even tried Raspberry Pi Imager instead of etcher hoping that it maybe starts automatically without selecting it in the boot menu - still doenst work. I hope there will be a workaround/fix for the problem. Ich bought the pi + stuff just for Proxmox :D

Snap, i have tried a number of different devices, i see they register with HID, i assume it might be something else though?

Try preparing a normal Raspberry Pi OS on your SD-Card but then just copy the uefi-files you downloaded on the SD-Card. It asks you, if you want to replace. Click yes and tadaa, it works...at least it did for me :D@@jamiestables3370

Hahah I checked that too cause others mentioned this. And I had mine before him and also I had to edit the audio tracks to make it sound the way it is, the original song does not sound like this

You need to boot with linaro uefi

Wouldn't have a performance hit, just not able to run as much vm's

I don't know about it being necessarily "efficient". I guess that depends on what is your definition of "efficient". The reason why I say that is because if you take the performance and features of the RPi5 to create like a composite "performance" metric, that you can then use to calculate Performance/($/Watt) -- this result ends up being not that great. If you are pressed for cash, and can't afford at sub-$150 mini PC -- then ok. But I just bought three Mini PCs that sport the Intel N95 processor, with dual GbE NICs for ~$150 USD from Amazon, put them into a 3-node HA Proxmox cluster, and each node idles at around 7 W (which, yes, is higher than the RPi5), but the processor will also do donuts around the RPi5 CPU as well, plus it had Intel UHD graphics, which means it has QuickSync, which means that I can do hardware accelerated video transcoding, which I don't think that the RPi5 would be able to do. (Before I bought my Mini PCs, I spent about 2 months calculating and tracking the performance/($/Watt) across about 35 or 36 different options and for the RPI5 to be price competitive, I think that I calculated it out to be that it couldn't cost most than something like a few bucks and change for it to make sense to deploy as a 3-node HA Proxmox cluster.) If you're only looking at power consumption - yes. But if you compute a sort of composite "performance"/($/Watt) metric -- then it might not be as efficient, relatively speaking.

@@ewenchan1239 I was strictly looking at power consumption. Here in Europe that matters a lot more then in the US so this "small" difference actually becomes a lot bigger, a lot quicker over here. The RPI's are not a good choice if an x86 option is available for the same money, with the same power consumption. But the RPI's have the advantage in the minimum and maximum wattage that they require to get things done. If you care about speed or need applications that depend on the x86 architecture, then don't bother. If you just need a simple witness node for your cluster and some extra small microservices here and there, preferably run inside containers instead of full fat VM's, then the RPI's or OrangePi's or whatever, make for a decent option.

Change the BIOS to OVMF (UEFI) and add a EFI Disk. This should start showing the display of the VM.

Yes, I tested and built a cephs

No, it’s a hypervisor, it uses what is physically available to it.

@@misat0san okay, thanks. I only have the 4gb pi5, so, maybe not SO good for me. I still have a 32gb server, so that may have to be repurposed. I need to rebuild other stuff anyway, LOL!

A VM can do almost anything a real .achine can. It can boot over the network and it can provide services over the network. That's what most VMs do day in and day out! 4gb is not a problem if your VM are light enough. Might still be better to do containers though.

Someone on here did and said it works

Thank you sir. I appreciate your hard work.@@NovaspiritTech

Just think for a second..

still working on getting it working but does require special actions like using linaro bios instead of stock

You can just use a usb GBe

@@WisherTheKing Those things never get up to speed.

No they don't. This is a community project I believe. So not officially supported from my understanding.

It’s a port, not official support. Big difference.

I can proxy the site to you with your requested domain name if its available. 😊

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe containers (LXC) without docker?

practice proxmox play books while sourcing "cheap good" GPU for i9 7900k 64gb RAM server@@alpharesearch2

Because Raspberry Pi foundation isn’t a greedy, cut throat, vulture capitalist funded California tech company their goal isn’t ultra capitalism; it’s STEM education in UK and around the world. There are other single board ARM 64bit cards that you can use if you want something inexpensive and available for ~$100.

@@roberthealey7238 They are planning on going public this year on the London stock exchange. They better get greedy and cutthroat quick if they want to be successful.

@@roberthealey7238Which ones do you recommend? (Genuine question)

I don't know what it's like in other countries, but in Germany the supply of Pi 5 is very good. At least if you only need 1-2 and don't want to buy 10 straight away.

People use iPhones daily and buy a new one every two years. A raspberry pi will live in someone’s drawer most of its life, and most people will never want one. You commie brains are funny.
