Previously published as Proxmox VE 8 Practical Guide by Ralf-Peter Kleinert.Updated edition.Installing Proxmox, setting up the Proxmox Backup Server, building a Proxmox cluster, automation, VLAN, troubleshooting, Proxmox Firewall – there’s a whole lot packed into this book.Dear readers, in line with my Proxmox books, I’ve started publishing YouTube tutorials. These complement the sometimes complex content of the books and give you the opportunity to visually follow certain topics step by step. The response to these videos has been very positive so far. In this book, you’ll already find several links to the tutorials to make it even easier to get started.I’ve thoroughly and comprehensively revised this book following feedback and criticisms. Even the criticized text size has been adjusted in response to negative reviews. While I received many positive comments, I focused particularly on the negative feedback to make the book even more helpful and user-friendly. One criticism was that my book wasn’t suitable for advanced users – that struck a chord with me because the positive reviews say otherwise. Nonetheless, I took this criticism to heart and gathered all my knowledge about Proxmox in greater detail.This book now provides detailed instructions for installing Proxmox, whether on a physical server or a Hetzner server. Additionally, you’ll find an updated description of setting up the Proxmox Backup Server, numerous practical guides, and a comprehensive chapter on the Proxmox Firewall. The section on Fail2Ban has also been revised, with dedicated YouTube videos linked to make difficult parts even clearer.New to this edition is a command reference, offering a quick overview of the most important commands, as well as detailed guides on configuring the Proxmox Firewall to make your environment even more secure. All in all, this book is a significantly expanded and optimized edition, aimed at both beginners and experienced IT professionals who want to fully understand and utilize Proxmox.It was very, very difficult for me to strike the right balance between compact knowledge, good clarity, the amount of text and images, and the printing cost. The critiques pushed me to adopt a different format and include many more screenshots in the book, but this means I can no longer offer it at the same price – simply because printing has become more expensive. The book now contains numerous screenshots that guide you step by step through the installations of Proxmox and PBS.I hope my revisions meet the expectations of the critics while still providing readers who gave me positive feedback with a helpful and high-quality book. My goal was to learn from the feedback and create a work that meets the needs of both beginners and advanced users.Criticism is never easy to take, especially when you’ve poured so much heart and soul into a project. But it motivated me to make this book even better. I’m curious to hear how you like the new edition, and I look forward to continuing to incorporate your suggestions and improve my books. Because, in the end, one thing matters most to me: that this book provides the support you need to successfully use Proxmox. Read more

*Updated for 2023 with VirtualBox version 7 content*Information Technology has come a long way in the past 5-10 years and one of the greatest advancements in this field has to be that of virtualizing computers and servers in order to save IT administrators a lot of time and their companies a lot of money when it comes to building their backend systems. And now we can even go beyond virtualizing computers and virtualize our networks as well.Because virtualization allows us to run multiple computers (virtual machines) on one piece of hardware, it makes it's easy to set up multiple systems quickly and also allows a way for us to set up “test” systems that we can use for our labs to test out new software and operating systems. Then when we are done, we simply wipe out that test system and it was like it was never there.Since virtualization is so common within organizations, it was just a matter of time before it was implemented on a smaller scale so we could use it on our desktops. Now we have software like Oracle's VirtualBox which allows us to create multiple virtual machines within one physical machine (your desktop computer) and even let them communicate with each other via their virtual networks.The goal of this book is to get you up and running with VirtualBox and cover all the things you need to know to get you started on creating virtual machines and a virtualized environment without confusing you at the same time. It sticks with the basics yet covers a wide variety of topics to help you achieve your goals and get your VMs up and running in no time.The chapters in the book cover the following topics:Chapter 1 – What is Virtualization and VirtualBox?Chapter 2 – Installing VirtualBoxChapter 3 – The VirtualBox ManagerChapter 4 – Creating a Virtual Machine (VM)Chapter 5 – Virtual Machine SettingsChapter 6 – NetworkingChapter 7 – Preferences and Additional FeaturesAbout the AuthorJames Bernstein has been working with various companies in the IT field for over 20 years, managing technologies such as SAN and NAS storage, VMware, backups, Windows Servers, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Networking, Microsoft Office, Exchange, and more.He has obtained certifications from Microsoft, VMware, CompTIA, ShoreTel, and SNIA, and continues to strive to learn new technologies to further his knowledge on a variety of subjects.He is also the founder of the website OnlineComputerTips.com, which offers its readers valuable information on topics such as Windows, networking, hardware, software, and troubleshooting. Jim writes much of the content himself and adds new content on a regular basis. The site was started in 2005 and is still going strong today. Read more

IT sector is one of the fastest growing and rapidly changing sectors in the world. Technologies keep inventing and re-inventing on the daily basis. Now, we are living in the world which is going through a complete digital era. There was a time when we were using physical CRT based computers and were installing operating systems using the CD/DVD drives. That era is completely outdated. Then came the virtualization era, where we ran multiple guest operating systems on the same physical host. Then it went to further improvisation level with the invention of Cloud technologies. Now, we are going through the micro-services architecture. This will keep continue in the future as well and we don’t know where it will end up. We just need to follow the latest technologies and upgrade ourselves to take out the best of all new technologies along with the time. Many of the organizations have already started to redesign and re-architect their applications from the traditional architecture to Micro-services architecture. Docker Technology plays an important role to help us achieve and implement the Micro-service architecture-based solutions. This book contains everything you need to get started with Docker Container technology and get hands-on skills to become a Docker Expert. The following topics have been covered in this handy guide. 01: Before to Get Started with Docker 02: Virtualization Concept (Hypervisor) 03: Drawback of Virtualization Technology 04: Docker Terminologies 05: Docker Architecture 06: Docker Isolated Environment on the same VM 07: Container vs Virtual Machine 08: Docker Supported Platforms 09: Docker Editions 10: Docker Version Architecture 11: Installing Docker on Linux Machine 12: Installing Docker on Windows Machine 13: Working With Docker Commands 14: Managing Docker Service 15: Working with Docker Images and Containers 16: Running Nginx web server as Docker Container 17: Viewing Docker Container Logs 18: Managing Docker Containers 19: Configuring Docker in Load Balancer Mode with Docker Compose 20: Scaling Up and Down Docker Stack 21: Stopping and Removing Docker Stack 22: Other Useful Articles to Learn Docker Technology Read more
