umbrel (nprofile…pxvk) really got me annoyed yesterday.

It seems that in order to install it on a VM (Proxmox) you need to :

1- create a VM with a specific BIOS and no mounted boot drive
2- download the USB-Installer.iso
3- create a virtual CD with the ISO
4- mount it on the VM
5- proceed with installation
6- unmount Virtual CD before reboot

Now the fun starts 🙄😒…..

The /etc/fstab setting are too low for the mounting time limit so obviously root account gets locked.

The solution is to simply edit the fstab file BEFORE rebooting the server the very first time you log in or else you will be locked out.


By default umbrel (nprofile…pxvk) should put the mounting time to infinite.

Now the Blockchain is syncing. So far so good.
