Nice!! My head is on fire!!
I think one of you said you were running a Linux desktop VM. Is it
possible to configure one machine to do multiple private VMs for testing
and development, a production website VM, and a Desktop VM. Would I be
able to attach the Desktop VM to two or more monitors?

server
for years.
All the rest is use case recommended for a server. Possibly in
production.

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.

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
