By default, the enterprise repo is used that requires an subscription to get Proxmox updates but you can the no-subscription repo instead.
OK, so if you don't pay for support, you will not get any proxmox updates? Or at least not proven stable updates.
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories#sysadmin_no_subscription_repo
Correct, you won’t have access to there enterprise repo.

Do Proxmox have a CLI specifically or can do you use regular KVM for automation tasks?

@pete-s said in Proxmox in production questions:
Do Proxmox have any built-in features for backups and VM replication? Xcp-ng for instance do not, but have Xen Orchestra.
Xen Orchestra has Proxmox beat. Proxmox built in back up does only full backups. But there are better features if you setup the Proxmox Backup Server.
@pete-s said in Proxmox in production questions:
Does it have built-in support for md raid? The linux kernel does of course, but I'm thinking about the installing and managing side of things. For instance, will arrays shows up in the GUI, can you install arrays with the installer, will the array persist during proxmox upgrades?
If I remember correctly, to use md raid, you’ll have install a vanilla Debian to set up md raid and then setup the Proxmox repo so you can install Proxmox.
And also the GUI doesn’t show the array. But I guess you could install cockpit to manage the arrays.
@pete-s said in Proxmox in production questions:
Can you run it without support and have a system that you can run in production with updates etc? I read somewhere about a paid repository.
Yes, you can run it without support. But you will get a pop up reminder after each login or attempting an update from the GUI (you can remove it).
By default, the enterprise repo is used that requires an subscription to get Proxmox updates but you can the no-subscription repo instead.
@pete-s said in Proxmox in production questions:
Is it possible to use local storage ext4/xfs whatever, without zfs, for VMs? Any features that will not work?
By default, the local storage for VMs is ext4 with option to use xfs or zfs.

@black3dynamite and will be able to install MSSQL. Looks like an enterprise path they are going down. Awesome for us, especially after the shit news of RHEL/Centos shitting on everyone. Hopefully canonical will keep to their releases and push more people from centos over to them, I have had no issues and mostly run ubuntu server for most of my servers.
Yeah, I mainly use Fedora and Ubuntu for my servers.

Intresting:
Active Directory: Bridging the gap between system administrators and Linux developersUbuntu machines can join an Active Directory (AD) domain at installation for central configuration. AD administrators can now manage Ubuntu workstations, which simplifies compliance with company policies.
Ubuntu 21.04 adds the ability to configure system settings from an AD domain controller. Using a Group Policy Client, system administrators can specify security policies on all connected clients, such as password policies and user access control, and Desktop environment settings, such as login screen, background and favourite apps.
Yeah, that caught my attention too.
Not sure about FOSS but my two year old is using an Amazon Fire Kids Edition and it has a pretty good parental controls.

It's been a while, and thought I'd look for some ideas.
I'd prefer sit/stand, but I'm not sure how that'd go considering the following:
2 laptops
1 desktop
2 monitors
...thingsThis is what I was looking at for a sit/stand desk:
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/idasen-desk-sit-stand-black-beige-s09280987/However, I like the style of this as well, though not sure if it will fit everything well:
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/fredde-desk-white-10451068/What do you suggest?
I think you need to have a look in person at the desk. With the things you want to have on it I think it will be too small. I'd look for something longer.
I'd also be careful then buying IKEA because corners are cut to get the price down. I have two IKEA electrical sit/stand desks at home that are being replaced with larger, better desks. Both desks have had motor/electrical problems. The quality and quality control is so-so and not as good as commercial desks. But maybe they'll get the job done as a budget option for you.
Yeah, I’ve seen some YouTube videos of people replacing the honeycomb table top with one of those kitchen table tops that are solid wood. And also so they can have a longer table too.
@obsolesce said in Home office desk:
How much load will that thing raise?
Here’s what I have on my desk. The only difference now is that I don’t have my ups and modem on my desk anymore.
This is what I have at home and it's been pretty good so far.

To be honest, I kind of thought LG had already stopped making phones.
Me too.
@siringo said in Re-add Server/Computer to AD:
@scottalanmiller Ah yes. Just got onto the console with Mesh Central.
Still don't have an account to log in with though.
In Mesh Central, connect to your server via Terminal and change your local administrator password.
