Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread

I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can’t get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I’m still making heat like crazy.

Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I’d rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.

Did you check Mint recently? If it’s been a while, it could also be dust buildup at the fan.

  Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.

Hmmm you might be able to first install Debian 12 and make sure the fan control works properly, then just install the proxmox application inside of that

    I would run Debian from a stick and install Proxmox with the installer and not on top of Debian unless you have to. While the latter works, I found some settings around network interfaces to differ between the installation methods which caused me problems here and there.
