PVE Body Installation

If you don't know how to choose an option during installation, just press enter.

TIP

For low-configuration hosts, it is recommended to check the contents of the Custom partition after all the content has been installed to perform memory tuning and reduce the memory footprint.

One-click PVE installation

TIP

Suggest debian12, the actual test part of the independent server debian11 system will appear a reboot network will be lost, debian12 does not have such a problem!

  • The installation is the latest PVE from the apt source at the moment.
  • For example, debian10 is pve6.4, debian11 is pve7.x, debian12 is pve8.x
  • Changes to the /etc/hosts file (to fix the wrong hostname setting for merchants and to add the required content for PVE)
  • /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file modification (to avoid overwriting modified hostname etc.)
  • /etc/network/interfaces file modification (fix auto, dhcp type to static, add vmbr0 gateway)
  • Detect whether it is China IP, if it is China IP use Tsinghua mirror source, otherwise use the official source, and at the same time deal with the source of apt and the corresponding nameserver, to avoid disconnections
  • Create vmbr0 (independent IP gateway), the host allows addr and gateway for intranet IP or extranet IP, has been automatically recognized
  • vmbr0 creation support to open pure IPV4, pure IPV6, dual-stack virtual machine, automatic identification of IPV4 address and IPV6 address, automatic identification of the corresponding IP interval
  • Installation of the necessary toolkit for PVE to open a virtual machine
  • x86_64 replace enterprise subscriptions in apt sources with community sources, arm sources built using third-party patches for fixes
  • Print query Linux system kernel and PVE kernel installed or not
  • Setting up DNS detection 8.8.8.8.8 for boot add DNS systemd service
  • Download PVE and printout of login information after adding APT source link for PVE

All modified files have been set to read-only mode to avoid overwriting after reboot.

If you want to modify the file, please use chattr -i file path to cancel the read-only lock, and run chattr +i file path to lock the read-only lock when you finish modifying the file.

You will be prompted to reboot your system once during the execution process, After rebooting, be sure to wait at least 20 seconds to make sure the system does not reboot automatically again.

Because the original environment may be missing ifupdown or ifupdown2 environment, there is a self-installation daemon loaded for the installation, after the installation of the system will automatically reboot the system again, wait for 20 seconds without reboot to ensure that the installation has been run.

If the host itself exists SLAAC assigned IPV6 address, will be able to choose whether to use the largest IPV6 subnet range, the default carriage return does not use the largest IPV6 subnet range only use the local IPV6, if you subsequently need to attach a separate IPV6 address to the virtual machine/container, the option must be selected y.

Command:

shell
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oneclickvirt/pve/main/scripts/install_pve.sh -o install_pve.sh && chmod +x install_pve.sh && bash install_pve.sh

or

shell
bash install_pve.sh

TIP

After successful installation, the web page may not be safe to open, click on Advanced or More Options and insist on accessing it!

The login information is your SSH account and password.

Pre-configure the environment

  • Creating a resource pool mypool
  • Remove the subscription popup
  • Attempt to enable hardware passthrough
  • Detect and auto-install AppArmor modules.
  • Before rebooting the system, it is recommended to hook up nezha probe to facilitate the use of the command line in the background without SSH, to avoid the possibility that SSH may lead to the loss of the root password after the reboot due to the merchant's strange presets.
  • Before executing reboot, you need to wait for the background task to finish executing, some host system apt command execution is very slow, you have to wait for a while to finish executing, of course, most of the machines are not so bad!

Command:

shell
bash <(wget -qO- --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oneclickvirt/pve/main/scripts/build_backend.sh)

Automatically configure the host's gateway

WARNING

Before using this command, please make sure that you have restarted the server and that PVE can use the WEB terminal normally before executing this command. Do not execute this command immediately after restarting the machine, wait for at least 1 minute after the WEB terminal is successfully started before executing this command.

TIP

This step is most likely to cause SSH disconnections, the reason is to modify the network without waiting for the PVE kernel to start, which will result in setting conflicts, so wait at least a few minutes until the kernel is started, that is, the WEB side is started successfully before execution.

TIP

Before executing this command, if the host needs to append the address of the IPV6 tunnel, see the incus Custom section for appending it to the corresponding file, but please ignore the initial environment modification section for it.

  • If vmbr0 is not created, it is automatically created with the same logic as the main installation
  • Create vmbr1 (NAT gateway) to support IPV4 servers that open NAT for IPV6 networks with NAT.
  • Create vmbr2 (standalone IPV6 gateway), use ndppd to solve the problem of MAC verification of IPV6 addresses by the host, support the opening of servers with standalone IPV6 networks.
  • If you want to see the complete settings, you can execute cat /etc/network/interfaces to see, if you need to modify the gateway you need to modify the file, the web site can not be modified!
  • Load iptables and set back to source and allow NAT port forwarding.

In short, vmbr0 is responsible for v4 standalone IPs, and vmbr1 is responsible for complex v4/v6 NATs, vmbr2 is responsible for v6 standalone IPs.

Open independent IPV4 virtual machine using vmbr0, gateway with the host, IPV4/CIDR using the same network segment address and the same subnet mask, using the host's unbound IPV4 address for IPV4/CIDR, of course, if the subsequent use of this script does not need to pay attention to this point of the nuances of the thing

Use vmbr1 for IPV4 VM with NAT, 172.16.1.1 for gateway, 172.16.1.x/24 for IPV4/CIDR, where x can't be 1, but of course you don't need to pay attention to this minutia if you use this script later.

Command:

shell
bash <(wget -qO- --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oneclickvirt/pve/main/scripts/build_nat_network.sh)

TIP

This step may require you to reboot your system after a few minutes of successful execution, see the final execution of the script at the end of the tip. However, a reboot will ensure that some of the hidden settings are loaded successfully, so be sure to reboot the server once if you are in a position to do so.
