——————————————————————————

The series includes this article, a multipart video series, and a VMWare archive.

In this HowTo, I cover the following steps:
1. Update Debian – How you can update Debian and Proxmox manually
2. What are Snapshots / What Storage is compatible with Snapshots / Snapshots are not Backups
3. Manage Snapshots
4. How to upgrade VirtIO when a new version comes out

——————————————————————————

A snapshot of the VM state after every Step is taken. You can download the entire archive and run it on your own hardware (see torrent link above).

If you decide you run the VMWare Image on your own hardware, you need to change the email address and password to your values, otherwise the SMTP relay will not work. The places that need to be modified are:
– Proxmox notifications related to root@pam;
– Postfix SMTP settings (/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd). You need to hash the file afterwards;
– Windows startup and shutdown batch file (C:sendEmail-v 156Email.cmd);
– NUT script /etc/nut/upssched.conf.
