This is all standard proxmox setup and is step 1 for anyone running the free version

> This is all standard proxmox setup and is step 1 for anyone running the free version I run the free version and do not delete the Ceph repos (especially since I'm using Ceph amongst my storage options): if [ -e /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list ]; then rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list; fi; At the very least run a sed command to just comment out any/all lines in the files instead of nuking them.

I don't know why you got downvoted, because you are right. There is no problem with keeping the Ceph repos, and you can use it with the community repos.

Almost totally OT, but since this is fundamentally about QEMU ... ... yesterday I needed to access data in a MySQL database that was shutdown in 2022. At that time, it had been managed by MySQL 5.5.62. On my current Debian system, we are at 10.X (MariaDB). I had a backup of the entire DB folder and tried to get MySQL/MariaDB to read it. Tried a couple of different things. Failure. Then ... grab Ubuntu 14.04 ISO ... t…

The Linux kernel's "don't break user space" motto probably means that you don't need a full VM, just a container that has that old version of MySQL and you probably can run it just fine with docker or podman.

I recently tried to run a CentOS 7 container (LXC) on ProxMox 8 and it didn't work because CentOS 7 uses cgroup v1 which is not supported anymore by most recent distros (they are all on cgroups v2).

So your container might or might not work.

Why? How? Especially if Proxmox is just using qemu under the hood?

Because I can manage it in a relatively understandable web interface and not have to deal with a bunch of config files. It's also significantly easier than Hackintoshing the machine, which is what I did previously. I see you're a nixos enthusiast, so I take it you enjoy config files. I just like having a machine I don't have to think about.

Lol but qemu doesn't use config files.

After a crack about NixOS? Funny times tonight.

one problem I found was you need to be connected to the internet to install MacOSX? also apparently its a violation of Apple license if you run OSX on a non-Apple hardware? so im concerned if I connect my VM to the internet and install OSX on my proxmox it will dial home to Apple :/

Even if it did dial home, do you think Apple is going to come after you, single human being, running BS-tier workloads on a VM you're technically not licensed to run? They are a $1T company or thereabouts, they literally do not care about you.

Top tip: don’t sign into iCloud.

I did this once on a hackintosh got locked out. Watching my various services stop working was rather distressing.

I never had any issues with being signed into iCloud and Hackintosh.

Just because you don't know what the hell you're talking about doesn't mean you have to take it out on me.

Virsh does.

Yes!!! This happened to me also. It took me a day to get my account working on all devices again.
