Not a problem for my installation as such, but might break something that does not expect warnings (even a simple apt update &amp;&amp; apt upgrade -y will halt), so add the key:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"># wget http:\/\/download.proxmox.com\/debian\/key.asc\nhttp:\/\/download.proxmox.com\/debian\/key.asc\nResolving download.proxmox.com (download.proxmox.com)... 2a01:7e0:0:424::249, 212.224.123.70\nConnecting to download.proxmox.com (download.proxmox.com)|2a01:7e0:0:424::249|:80... connected.\nHTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK\nLength: 1703 (1.7K) [application\/octet-stream]\nSaving to: \u2018key.asc\u2019\nkey.asc 100%[===========================>] 1.66K --.-KB\/s in 0s\n# apt-key add key.asc\nOK<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Retrying the web interface. Still no go: &#8220;the connection was reset&#8221;. Hmm&#8230; That is no &#8216;not found&#8217;, should I perhaps take the trouble of manually pointing at the https-protocol? Yes, that did it, add https:\/\/ in front of the IP and log in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shiny interface, just like in the screenshots \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summary view in the second-level tree-menu will stay active while clicking through the first-level tree-menu on the left hand, with the datacenter and node list. It shows different statistics and in a different representation (meters or graphs), depending on the subject, which is helpful in recognizing and remembering what I am looking at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I now realize that I do have close to 30GB of space for the basic install (my 15GB * 2 for copies = 2), but no separate partition for \/var. I&#8217;ll let it be, keep an eye on the level of free space and add space when needed. Reinstalling based on Debian Buster is well-documented, but with no experience with proxmox I&#8217;ll keep the installation close to default. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see how much of the assigned space is used in which way, I compared the different views and some relations are not directly clear to me. I expected around 30GB at some level, and 15GB at another. What I actually see, is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bare sectors, fdisk: 61863937 * 512 ~ 29,5 GB<\/li><li>At &#8216;datacenter&#8217; level: 2.2GB of 54.0GB used<\/li><li>At node level: 2.2GB of 28.0GB used<\/li><li>Two storage objects:<ul><li>local: 2.2GB of 28.0GB used<\/li><li>local-ZFS: 0 of 25.8GB used<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I can see the relation between 28 and 54, and between 28 and 25.8, but not between 54GB on the datacenter and 29.5GB actual usage on disk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After defining &#8216;copies = 2&#8217;, I had expected all downstream values to be half of what I see here.  Some thinking further: is the read value of fdisk is inside the node, not on the actual hardware? Then I would not see the total size of the SSD. I posted a question on the proxmox-forum, awaiting moderation and a reaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wpf_wrapper\"><a class=\"print_link\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Print this entry<\/a><\/p><!-- .wpf_wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once rebooted after installation I visited the IP of the server at port 8006.
