The heart of a Proxmox Server is setting up Virtual Machines (VM) and Linux Containers (LXC). In this article, we will look at setting up a virtual machine running Linux. It really doesn't matter which Linux distro, since they basically all install similarly. So, we will install Linux Mint 22.2 XFCE as a virtual machine. Installation Media The first thing to do is download the ISO file needed for the installation of Linux Mint. I downloaded version 22.2 XFCE from... https://www.linux.org/threads/proxmox-04-linux-virtual-machine.61667/
We are going to set up the Banana Pi R4 as a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses on multiple subnets. The Banana Pi R3 has four 1-gigabit Ethernet ports, which we will use to create four subnets. These four subnets will allow traffic to be routed between them. There are three Local Area Network (LAN) ports and one Wide Area Network (WAN) port. Which we will connect the WAN port to the local network that is connected to the Internet. The three remaining ports will allow for three networks... https://www.linux.org/threads/banana-pi-r4-bpi-r4-dhcp-for-multiple-subnets.61666/
For anyone running Linux who wants, or needs, to run a Windows program, there are few ways to do it and sometimes it doesn't work. Some Windows apps will not run on WINE, or the like, and you are stuck not being able to use it. Some people will run a virtualized Windows system inside Linux and make it work that way. WinBoat is another such virtualized system that runs on Docker. This method has a few more alternatives and seems faster. In this article, I can help you get WinBoat set up... https://www.linux.org/threads/run-windows-apps-on-linux-with-winboat.60069/

Now that we've covered the primary commands, we can start on the Methods, Tags and Marks. If you intend on using a Text Widget, or multiples, these are very handy abilities other than the standard options. Methods Now, we can move on to doing something with text in the Text Object. Let's start with the five methods: insert delete get index see Insert Method We can insert text into the Text Object by specifying the line, character place and... https://www.linux.org/threads/python-series-part-23-text-widget-part-1.60068/
Initially after installation, there are a lot of things that you may want to 'fix'. These are some basic configuration issues that are made not only on the Proxmox Server, but from the remote systems using the Web UI for connection through Port 8006. Some of these may be useful to you; but not all may be useful. Even if you do not need them, they may be beneficial to know for future use. Web UI Once you have the Proxmox Server started, you can access the server from a web browser... https://www.linux.org/threads/proxmox-ve-series-part-3-basic-configuration.60067/
The Banana Pi R4 is an open-source smart router. You can use it for networking jobs, as you will tell from the specs on the hardware. Keep in mind that this Single Board Computer (SBC) may be small, but it is powerful, especially when dealing with networking over any type of connection. Banana Pi R4 Specs The main specs are: MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880) quad-core Arm Cortex-A73, 1.8GHz processor 4 GB/8 GB DDR4 8 GB eMMC flash 128MB SPI-NAND Flash Micro SD... https://www.linux.org/threads/banana-pi-r4-bpi-r4.60066/
Within Tkinter, there are text boxes that allow the entry or viewing of text. The text can be newly entered or edited by the user. From the programming side, you can format the text as you wish. There is the use of colors, fonts, etc. Keep in mind that the Text Object can be a single line of text or multi-line. Some of these parameters are basic ones that we've seen before, so we will pass over them with examples because they are general options that nearly all objects use. Let's look at... https://www.linux.org/threads/python-series-part-23-text-widget-part-1.59025/
Installing Proxmox is a simple process. We will learn more in later articles, especially the next one about updating it, adding users and the like. There can be some configuration to do if you are running a Proxmox server without a subscription since it defaults to having a subscription.

Go to the Proxmox website at 'https://www.proxmox.com' and click on 'Downloads' at the top of the... https://www.linux.org/threads/proxmox-ve-series-part-2-installing-proxmox.59024/
Open Media Vault is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server based on Debian Linux. With this integrated Operating System (OS), you can share media to any other device on the network. This is not a hardware solution, but a software solution that you can run on a system and share attached media, whether internal or external storage devices. Sharing Methods You can share storage devices on the network using multiple types of sharing methods: Network File System (NFS)... https://www.linux.org/threads/setting-up-open-media-vault-as-a-home-nas.59023/

You may have heard of Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE), or may even know what it is or have used it. For those who haven't heard of it, barely used it , or just want to know more, here are a series of articles to cover Proxmox VE in more detail. Proxmox is an open-source substitute for VMware, which is offered as a free version. Proxmox Basics As I stated, Proxmox is open-source and is a free solution for virtualization. Of course, there is a subscription-based version that allows... https://www.linux.org/threads/proxmox-ve-series-part-1-the-basics.58546/
We can now continue with the Entry Object for Python. Hopefully, you have gone over Part 1 before continuing on here. Font Since we can change the colors, why not the font as well? You need to make sure that any font you use exists on the system where the Python code is being executed. On my system, I am running Ubuntu, so I have a font named ‘ubuntu’. In the example, the label will have the text ‘Example Entry’ with the font being ‘ubuntu’: Code: e1 = Entry(font='ubuntu')... https://www.linux.org/threads/python-series-part-22-tkinter-entry-widgets-part-2.58547/
The Orange Pi RV2 is a Single Board Computer (SBC) that differs from the SBCs that have an ARM processor. This board uses a RISC-V (pronounced 'Risk-Five') processor, but we can get into that soon. Before I get into the differences between RISC-V and ARM, we need to look at the specs of the SBC itself.

In some situations, there may be a need for multiple mice on a system. For example, at a conference when using a system to discuss details relating to the company. The speaker may need a mouse to point things out, while others can use another mouse to point out other things. There is also a way to include the keyboard as well, but this is not part of the BASH script I wrote. You can always add in a keyboard if needed. And yes, if you have open two word processor apps, one keyboard can type... https://www.linux.org/threads/using-multiple-mice-simultaneously-on-linux-with-xinput.58544/
