pve1

Overview

pve1 is a Proxmox host.

Access to this host goes through the Jump Host (JH).

Access

1. Connect to the Jump Host (JH).
2. Sign in to the jump host with your personal firstname.lastname credentials.
3. From the jump host, open the Proxmox host IP in a browser on the jump host.
4. Use the relevant admin account to access the Proxmox host UI or shell.

The canonical host IP, UI URL, and credential source are not documented here yet. Add them when confirmed.

Common Tasks

Open the Proxmox UI

1. Connect to the Jump Host (JH).
2. Sign in with your personal firstname.lastname credentials.
3. Open a browser on the jump host.
4. Browse to the pve1 host IP.
5. Sign in with the relevant admin account.

Check kernel state

1. Confirm the actual node identity first. During an April 2026 check, the shell prompt showed root@pve, not root@pve1.
2. Check the running kernel with uname -r.
3. Check package health with dpkg --audit.
4. Review installed Proxmox kernels before removing anything.

Troubleshooting

April 2026: kernel review

Observed state during review:

• shell prompt showed root@pve
• running kernel was 6.17.13-2-pve
• dpkg --audit was clean
• /boot was not separately mounted, so df -h /boot reflected /
• multiple old Proxmox kernels were still installed

Assessment:

• this did not match the pve2 failure mode
• no immediate broken-kernel repair was indicated
• the host appeared to need kernel housekeeping rather than emergency repair

Follow-up:

• keep “current + one back” kernel retention
• confirm the actual node name in Proxmox UI before documenting or changing anything
• document the canonical IP and credential source on this note
