5 Steps for Creating Templates and Virtual Machines on Proxmox using Linux Distro's Cloud Images

This tutorial guides you through the process of creating Templates and Virtual Machines on Proxmox using cloud-based images from various Linux distributions. We provide clear instructions for Alma Linux 9, Amazon Linux 2, CentOS 9, Fedora 38, Oracle Linux 9, RHEL 9, Rocky Linux 9, and Ubuntu 23.04 Lynx Lobster.

Note: The instructions have been tested on Proxmox 8.0.4.

Let's begin by choosing the cloud-based image. If you already have your preferred Linux distribution, skip to the 1st step.

To assist in making informed choices when selecting a Linux distribution for your virtual machines, we've compiled a table showcasing key characteristics of each cloud image. This table provides a snapshot of important attributes, including kernel version, Python version, number of processes initialized after boot, number of packages installed, free memory after boot, VM disk size, root partition disk size, used size on t

Kafka Topics

List existing topics

bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --list

Describe a topic

bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --describe --topic mytopic

Purge a topic

bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --alter --topic mytopic --config retention.ms=1000

This process would likely apply to other Homebrew formula also.

First search for your desired package:

brew search go

You should get a list of results that include the below. Not "go" is very unspecific so you may get a lot of results:

Adding a new disk ZFS RAID-0

When adding a new disk to ZFS RAID-0, you must ensure that the disk has the same storage size as the other disks.

You will need the gptfdisk package to use sgdisk.

hdd='/dev/disk/by-id/<DISKNAME>'
zpool labelclear -f "$hdd" || true
sgdisk --zap-all "$hdd"
