Hi,
I'm very thankful that you fixed this issue for so many people out there.
I'm facing the same problem with a HP DL360p Gen2 where I want to passthrough the NIC which is running ambedded to a firewall directly.

I'm using the newest version of Proxmox - which is available to date: 6.3-6 with Kernel 5.4.106-1-pve

Is it safe to use the latest premade PROXMOX Package which you have under releases ?
Will you release another package ?

Another question would be - Is it save to upgrade the PROXMOX host when the packages have been applied or are all the changes removed when Proxmox roles out a new kernel ?

//Edit:

I also tried to perform the build.sh script - but unfortunately this fails when downloading the kernel snapshot in line 76
curl -k "https://git.proxmox.com/?p=mirror_ubuntu-focal-kernel.git;a=snapshot;h=$(git submodule status submodules/ubuntu-focal | cut -c 2-41);sf=tgz" --output kernel.tgz

I simply commented out the section in the script which was marked as "Optional" and the script worked just fine.

Best regards,

Michael

I am having the same problem with the build script, I already opened an Issue for that(#5).

Unfortunately you need this every time. So whenever a new kernel is released, you have to download and install it from here (when a new kernel is provided under releases) or you have to compile it yourself. It seem like kiler129 (no offence, its great work) is not very active here with providing a new kernel. Maybe someone else could do that and could upload it to GitHub. Maybe kiler129 can give someone the permission to this project, who can upload a new kernel a little bit quicker. I would volunteer for that, but I don't have enough resources to compile it myself.

Regards
Simon

Happy to hear 💯

In short - yes. I had more explanation in #4 (comment) for this.

Will you release another package ?

Yes. Seeing as more people started using it I recently added docker support and I'm planning to just make it automatic. However, it's tricky - you cannot exactly throw it into Azure/Travis/GH due to the space and compile time required.

Another question would be - Is it save to upgrade the PROXMOX host when the packages have been applied or are all the changes removed when Proxmox roles out a new kernel ?

Proxmox in general doesn't update kernel every time. When it does you need to reinstall the modified package. You can lock the kernel in apt but I'm deliberately not advising for such scenario as this may easily be forgotten for years ;)

I also tried to perform the build.sh script - but unfortunately this fails when downloading the kernel snapshot in line 76
curl -k "https://git.proxmox.com/?p=mirror_ubuntu-focal-kernel.git;a=snapshot;h=$(git submodule status submodules/ubuntu-focal | cut -c 2-41);sf=tgz" --output kernel.tgz

Yes, that works. In essence this is the core of the problem is described in #5 and fixed in #8

Partially due to my private life being a rollercoaster recently and partially deliberately :)
Before I upload a package I try to test it for some time to see if there aren't any adverse effects first. However I think making a draft release automatically when Proxmox updates something could be an option.

I would volunteer for that, but I don't have enough resources to compile it myself.

Actually... I think I may have some spare server resources to automate that on my end and auto-publish draft/beta releases as Proxmox updates them and mark them as stable after ~2 weeks. See #9
