This is not what proxmox was created for. Don’t do it.
I understand that this is a bad way to use proxmox, but instead of just telling OP that he’s wrong, maybe you’d like to dive into an explanation.
Thought I answered why in my opening post. I’ve done it locally and now fancy a cloud solution. I have VPN servers in cloud, Pihole etc. Like the idea of combining things into a Proxmox. It’s not to say what I want isn’t possible and just because it is not of interest to you, doesn’t mean anyone else may think the same.
Is it possible to rent a Proxmox and upload my on-premises VMs to that Proxmox? I’m thinking of migrating my configured Windows VMs to the cloud, but I don’t want to set everything up from scratch. They have specific software, so I want to rent something and upload my VMs.
Have you used Hetzner VPS with proxmox or Hetzner dedicated?
Thank you for your input and this is sort of thing I like to see instead of a why and how Proxmox shouldn’t be used in this way.
I have constraints to work with. Bandwidth being one of them. The other is that I do allow family and some friends to use my VPN’s that I set up in cloud. Only trusted people of course, but yeah ideally I wouldn’t want high volume of connections to home.
Some people don’t get it unfortunately.
How long do you use hetzner dedicated with proxomox?
That’s what I do now and locally. I don’t have the best bandwidth, so want a cloud solution. This is for VPN connectivity through the cloud.
How long do you use proxmox on Hetzner?
Thank you, will take a look.
Already running Proxmox on a NUC. Just it is a bit old.
Dedis with 15 bucks or less you wont find
I actually don’t understand what op is trying to build, you definitely don’t need proxmox to have VM(router) with multiple private IPs and or tailscale exit point.
Why not bare metal proxmox?
Ovh.Net or hertzner have good options available for this
Someone might sell a managed server, but setting up a new Proxmox install should be a 30 minute work max and then you can upload your VMs.
You get given a server with remote access available via ssh. If you ask nicely a technician will plug in a usb stick with proxmox install for you and you can install it to the server. I got 2 public ips, one for host and one for Vm pfscense to dish out private network to all vm’s
You can upload your existing ones depending on how they were setup. But should be fine. Have a look at proxmox import documentation
Half a year. Works like a charm
I never have but have seen many YouTube videos doing it
I’m just being cheap here, that is all.
Yes, it sounds easy, but I consulted with some local cloud providers, and they don’t allow me to bring my already configured Windows VMs due to ‘licensing’ issues. This makes it unfeasible for me, as I don’t want to be tied to a single cloud provider.
