Hi! I have server with ampere altra processor.
How to install proxmox on this server?
I installed debian 11 arm64 on my server.

Does anybody tried to run Proxmox on Ampere ® Altra ® Q80-30 CPU at Hetzner RX170/RX220 ?

Not yet, but we are seeking for virtualization solution

Worth a try server from https://deploy.equinix.com/product/servers/c3-large-arm64/ for 1-3 hours but I think that clear kvm via cockpit should work as well as vmware. There is a pimox project for raspberry pi 4 but I can' find anything for Ampere...

We have that smaller server from Hetzner as well. Right now Ubuntu is there, but there is a request from our dev.team to have a dozen of VMs so I would like to build a cluster and attach our CEPH storage.

Is there a ceph client package for arm?

I know at least 2 way to install unofficial Proxmox on arm64:

• https://github.com/pimox/pimox7
• https://github.com/jiangcuo/Proxmox-Arm64

I used Pimox7 install script (a little customized) to install Proxmox on a Jetson NANO developer kit.
The 2nd way seemed more standard, but I don't know if the packages can be trusted or not.

Hi,
I tried to install pimox V7 from this link

Better to ask it via issue at https://github.com/pimox/pimox7

You should be able to find the error message in this file:
/var/lib/dkms/ceph-dkms/0.0.2/build/make.log

@jeff31700 that's interesting! TBH I'm more than hesitating to use a non-official build for anything other than experimental testing.

That said, I'd be super thrilled to see any official development on an ARM release, especially for ARM Ampere as the first bare metal hosters are offering pretty affordable packages for Altra Q80-30 for example.

Is there any official roadmap when this is coming and I'm just too blind to find it?

Pimox should work, install debian and add the pimox pakages

Good luck

thanks! I was thinking about that option. I wonder if anyone has any experience with that, yet like "yeah might work, even if an Q80-30 is >100 times bigger than a RasPi, but use at your own risk" or "totally safe for production use -> ship it!" :-D

I installed PIMOX on RPI4B. Now my apparmor service does not start.

Does anyone have an idea how I can address/fix this?

Hi! I have server with ampere altra processor.
How to install proxmox on this server?
I installed debian 11 arm64 on my server.

I use this https://github.com/pimox/pimox7 on my raspberry pi 4b. Works pretty well.
