After setting up my Proxmox servers, there are a few things I do before I use them for their intended purpose. This ranges from updates, to storage, to networking and VLANS, to uploading ISOs, to clustering, to NIC teaming with LACP, and more. Join me as we pick up where the rest of the proxmox tutorials stop, and that's everything you need to do to make these production ready (and maybe a bonus item too) Video Notes: https://technotim.live/posts/first-11-things-proxmox/ Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/technotim Sponsor me on GitHub: https://github.com/sponsors/timothystewart6 Subscribe on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/technotim Become a YouTube member: null Merch Shop 🛍️: null Gear Recommendations: https://l.technotim.live/gear Get Help in Our Discord Community: https://l.technotim.live/discord 2nd channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEv-LBP68lHl3JNJ25RT16g (Affiliate links may be included in this description.
