That sounds scary.

Ok, so I am coming away with a vCPU is = to a thread. RAM is fixed. I read Proxmox requires 2GB of RAM and I was unable to determine the number of cores for Proxmox.

Proxmox says you will need Intel EMT64 or AMD64 with Intel VT/AMD-V CPU flag.

They suggest SSD disks, and redundant Gbit NICs. I assume along these lines you would want redundant power supplies.

Another Question :

I have a Cox business connection that allows me to run servers and to be allocated more than 1 static IP.

I can see me configuring at least 4 virtual machines for LAMP - PHP testing and development, and a VM for a real website. Not all of these VMs would be active at once.

Since I would be running this out of my home office, to be safe, I would need enough RAM to allocate 4GB of RAM of reach _active_ VM and 2 vCPUs, and to be safe maybe 4GB of ram and 2 cores for Proxmox.

For 4 simultaneously active VMs I would need 8vCPUs (8 threads) and 4GB of RAM each or 16GB of RAM. Add to that 2 Cores/4 threads and 4GB of RAM for Proxmox and I would need 12 threads or 6 cores and 20GB of RAM.

I'm thinking a 500GB SSD would be enough and if I like I could add a redundant NIC and a redundant power supply.

Pretty much a consumer grade box?

Your thoughts?

Hit reply too soon. You can share or overprovision ram but you have to
enable some features and load a couple of os level drivers to make it
work.

And you can share ram across containers not vms.

i love proxmox.have used it fir years

The vcou is socket x cores x2 if you have hyperv/smt

So a 4 core ht cpu would be 8vcpu.

Hi,

I just watched a video that covered the Proxmox Hypervisor.  Seems
simple enough.  I've used Oracle's VirtualBox for years.

So I did some research on what a vCPU is.  I was suppressed.  The
math
given was (Threads x Cores) x Physical CPU = Number vCPU.

I have an old laptop that has 1 socket, 2 cores, four threads, and
4GB
of RAM.

Given the math (4 x 2) x 1 = 8 vCPUS.  Is this correct?

From my reading it appears that RAM is not shared, so my bottleneck
is
RAM not cores or threads.

I am a PHP developer and a local vps would need 2GB of RAM at a
minimum.
I have found a LAMP VPS will crash if allocated less than 2GB of
RAM,
and will run will on 1 vCPU.

The good news is I really only need one VPS to be active at any
given
time.

If I wanted to build a box that could run more than one VPS at a
time,
lets say 4, and I wanted to allocate 2 vCPUs and 4GB of RAM I would
need
4 threads x 2 cores to run the 4 VPS configured with 2 vCPUs each.

What about RAM.  Looks like I would need a minimum of 16GB of ram.

How much resources does the Hypervisor need, in this case Proxmox?

Thanks!!
Keith
