Paypal Donation Unavailable

Hey, I tried to Donate using the button in the main webpage of the github, however it does not seem to be working, as the following message is shown (screen capture attached)

I ran into the same problem, tried contacting via mail but haven't heard back (yet?).
I do hope this gets resolved soon, cause this is a project that deserves to be supported and quite frankly I rely on it (home lab environment, but still).

same boat as you. I tried to manually install after upgrading to proxmox 8 but its still not working. All of my VMs wont start. LXCs are on a LVM over iscsi volume so those are what I rely on more tbh.

Honestly, outside looking in, I think Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH or even IX Systems (Truenas) should be paying for @TheGrandWazoo's JFrog artifactory development costs. Either sponsor this project with funds or fork it and adopt the development in house. I think its the ONLY ZFS over iscsi solution for proxmox at all...

I wonder if more "enterprise class" ZFS storage arrays like DDN Intelliflash or an Oracle ZFS arrays like I have at my employer use this plugin for proxmox or if their ZFS over iscsi "just works" without a plugin? Probably a non issue as most enterprises just care about vmware integration.

I paid @TheGrandWazoo a small amount via Paypal and offered to host the files. He didn't respond, and his Github says he's too busy. I guess this project is stalling.

Side question, I use TrueNAS with NFS and it works well and was super easy to configure. Any reason why I should be using iSCSI instead?

according to Table 1.: snapshots. also you may get less latency with iscsi vs nfs.

Block-level IO performance should be superior to File-level IO performance. I love the fact that this plugin does amazing things such as snapshots on the Storage end (which will show up as a separate entity in the TrueNAS GUI) and leverage ZFS tools to do so, emulating the behavior of offloading mechanisms such as VAAI or ODX.

Don't get me wrong, even enterprise-level products such as ESXi will work just fine with NFS-based storage, but in my 9-5 I've learn to love things such as multipathing, storage-based snapshots and/or replication, while TrueNAS provides some of those to an extent without a hefty pricetag.

New repo coming soon. Hopefully today.
Thanks for you patience.

Not sure what is going on with the Paypal but thank you for donating. I will look into this and see what the issue is.

[TheGrandWazoo]

Hi. I could not reproduce the PayPal issue. When you have a chance, please try again.

Tried it and got another error message, tried to send from Germany in EUR:

[eugenefvdm]

Yep same problem:

The country you're trying to send money to can't receive this payment.
If you continue to encounter problems, please contact customer service.

But please note around two weeks ago this worked from South Africa.

[TheGrandWazoo]

Thank you for showing me more details. I will see if I can remedy that issue.

[TheGrandWazoo]

New repos now available. #157
