Proxmox - building from sources

If you're running a version of Proxmox with no packages available, or for some reason you don't/can't trust precompiled packages you can compile the kernel yourself using patches provided.

The easiest way to do it is to use a script provided in this repository, alongside this README.md file (build/proxmox/build.sh)

How to do it WITHOUT Docker?

This is mostly intended if you want to build & run on your Proxmox host. Jump to Docker-ized guide if you want to build packages in an isolated environment.

Prerequisites

  1. Proxmox 6 install (recommended) or Debian Buster (it WILL fail on Ubuntu!)
  2. Root access
  3. ~30GB of free space

Steps

  1. Download the build script (e.g. use wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kiler129/relax-intel-rmrr/master/build/proxmox/build.sh)

  2. Run the build.sh script from terminal:
    RMRR_AUTOINSTALL=1 bash ./build.sh
    You can also manually execute commands in the script step-by-step. To facilitate that the script contains extensive comments for every step.

  3. (OPTIONAL) Verify the kernel works with the patch disabled by rebooting and checking if uname -r shows a version ending with -pve-relaxablermrr

  4. Configure the kernel

This process will leave precompiled *.deb packages, in case you want to copy them to other Proxmox hosts you have.

How to do it WITH Docker?

This is mostly intended for building packages for later use (and/or when you don't want to mess with your OS).

TODO: Currently the script will always build the newest master branch (so it's not suitable for CI).

Prerequisites

  1. Docker installed (tested on macOS & Debian 10)
  2. ~30GB of free space
  3. Copy of Dockerfile from build/proxmox (present alongside this README)

Steps

  1. Build the container image (this will build the kernel):
    docker build -t build-img -f Dockerfile .
  2. Create dummy container from image:
    docker create --name build-cont build-img
  3. Copy debs (it will give you debs folder): docker cp build-cont:/build/proxmox-kernel/debs ./
  4. Cleanup image & dummy container: 
    docker rm -f build-cont
docker rmi -f build-img

Now you can install debs like you would premade packages.
