I just installed Proxmox for the first time with a 5 disk ZFS array. Very basic stuff but I already had to go to the CLI a few times and it didn't really feel that well integrated. Even setting up the array didn't work (non-descript -1 error message, and ended up needed to use -f on the cli). I also couldn't find a zfs create equivalent (but that could have been me?)
It's fine because I'm comfortable in the CLI but I read your comment and wanted to share that it felt a bit rudimentary at best.
Yeah, that’s pretty much been my experience as well. Last time I seriously used Proxmox with ZFS (I think 8.4.x), it felt a bit… bolted on.
It works fine for the common VM workflows, but once you step outside that path, you end up dropping to the CLI more than you’d expect.
In Sylve, we tried to make ZFS a first-class part of the system rather than something sitting underneath it. You can create pools, scrub them with actual progress visibility, replace disks, and manage datasets (Filesystems, Volumes, Snapshots) directly from the UI.
Proxmox tends to abstract datasets away and handle them for you, which is great for standard VM usage, but gets limiting if you want to do something custom, like creating your own dataset for media or Samba shares.
That’s really where Sylve differs, it gives you both the "it just works" path and the flexibility without forcing you into the CLI.
Laws in the US aren't taken as literal as in civil law systems. The intent and precedent is what carries much more weight in the end. Graph calculators are unlikely to be tested in court because it's irrelevant with respect to what this law is trying to accomplish.
Some cognitive dissonance going on here. The vast majority of current Linux Desktop users are on Wayland, and X11 is phased out across the board. Calling it hype is absurd.
Good modern protocols will explicitly define extension points, so 'ingoring unknown JSON keys' is in-spec rather than assumed that an implementer will do.
That seems incorrect. This sub-thread is the longest already in this submission, and no other commenter remarked about the parent commenter being an AI.
I have it installed on my immediate family's devices to ensure all the photos are auto-backed-up to our NAS (which is then backed up to another NAS).
I need to check to make sure it's still working once in a while (every couple of months), but it's usually fine, and even if it's somehow stopped working, getting it running again catches itself up to where it should have been anyway.
If you think about it the spirit of the internet is based on collaboration with other parties. If you want no third parties, there's always file: and localhost.
