This guide will only show you how to run post-configuration after installing Proxmox on your hardware of choice. If you need help on installing Proxmox VE, please consult their official website for installation guide.

Installation

Here I’ve used Ventoy to install Proxmox and done the following:

  • Boot into graphical interface.
  • Got stuck on detecting country first time, second time booted okay.
  • Choose sdc as bootdrive (500gb ssd).
  • Not chosen a hostname yet but you can go with whatever.
  • Set the IP address to 192.168.0.40 or your choice.
  • Done.

and after all that is done, this booting screen should come up:

Post install

My Proxmox access IP address is 192.168.0.40:8006

Then go on another computer and navigate to the address:

Login screen

Login page

Login with the password you created during the installation.

IOMU Setup

Guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough

I’ve already enabled VT-d and virtualization in the BIOS settings in advance. But you should be able to find similar settings in your BIOS settings by googling it. Remote SSH using your terminal of choice. I’m using Windows Terminal. Type in the command:

1

ssh [email protected] -p 22

PCI passthrough:

  • nano /etc/default/grub
  • Change the following line to:
1
2
3

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on"
update-grub
reboot
  • Double check if it’s working:
1

dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU

And the following line should appear: DMAR: IOMMU enabled which means you’re done setting up IOMMU.

Update repository setup

If you don’t have a subscription like me, add the non-production repo and remove the enterprise one:

  • Go to Datacenter > your node
  • Updates > repository
  • Disable enterprise and pve-enterprise repo
  • Add > no-subscription
  • Reload
  • Done.
