Finally, shared block storage with LVM thin provisioning and snapshot support is available in Proxmox VE 9!

Working from my home office, I use both a corporate Mac and a personal Mac.

Restoring individual files from a backup directly back into a guest VM has been one of the often-requested features for Proxmox VE and PegaProx.

PegaProx is coming to ProxDay 2026!

I am currently working on a new storage integration for PegaProx.

When talking about open-source virtualization platforms, Proxmox VE is probably one of the first solutions that comes to mind.

Some journeys don't end where you expect them to.

BackupPilot brings the Proxmox Backup Server to the Linux Desktop!

Starling (not to mix up with Starlink) is a lightweight and minimalist ActivityPub server for the Fediverse.

The last weeks were pretty crazy when it comes to security issues that affect basically everyone.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS has just been released, yet Proxmox does not immediately provide an official LXC container template for it.

With version 0.9.8, PegaProx now includes a native Prometheus exporter.

PegaProx for Proxmox VE clusters continues to evolve from a simple idea into a more complete solution that addresses real world needs in enterprise virtualization environments.

Security has become one of the most critical aspects of operating modern virtualization infrastructures.

PegaProx was originally designed as a centralized control platform for Proxmox VE based infrastructures.

Running a Proxmox VE cluster is fantastic for virtualization — until patch day arrives.

The evolution of PegaProx from a promising management tool to a powerhouse datacenter manager (often also mentioned as the alternative of vCenter/vSphere for Proxmox environemnts) has reached a major milestone today.

Setting up a reliable mail infrastructure is no longer limited to large organizations.

FOSDEM , the Free and Open Source Developers’ European Meeting, is an annual pilgrimage for open source enthusiasts from all over the world.

PegaProx is designed to be the central control point for modern Proxmox VE based datacenters.

This post describes how to export metrics from bhyve based virtual machines and Jails managed by Sylve on FreeBSD by my Prometheus exporter.

Snapshots are one of the most useful safety mechanisms in virtualized environments.

Two years ago I started working on a project called ProxLB because something essential was missing in my daily work with Proxmox VE based clusters.

ProxLB is a lightweight load-balancing and placement helper designed for Proxmox VE environments, helping operators make smarter scheduling and availability decisions for virtual machines and containers.

With Proxmox Backup Server 4 , a long-awaited feature has finally arrived: native support for S3-compatible object storage as a datastore.

Live migration is one of the most powerful and frequently used features in a Proxmox VE cluster, but it relies on a prerequisite that is often underestimated: consistent CPU compatibility across all nodes.

BoxyBSD started as a simple idea.

The Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0 brings something many administrators have wanted for a long time.

Creating a highly secure Proxmox cluster with proper micro segmentation has become one of the most frequent topics in my discussions with users and customers.

IncusOS is an immutable operating system created with one clear goal: To run Incus safely, predictably and efficiently.

Let me spoiler, it's the best I've seen so far for bhyve and FreeBSD!

In today's globalized IT landscape the term "cloud" dominates conversations about infrastructure, applications, and deployment strategies.

In this HowTo we install and configure Kanidm on Linux Debian Trixie and use it for authentication with Proxmox by OIDC (OpenID Connect).

Running your own package mirror (such as for Proxmox products) may seem like an advanced setup, but it addresses challenges that are increasingly relevant in modern infrastructures.

It has now been several weeks since the release of Debian 13 (Trixie), yet Proxmox still does not provide an official LXC container template for it.

Managing Proxmox storage resources at scale has traditionally been a cumbersome task.

The Proxmox ecosystem has grown massively in recent months – and one of the key reasons behind this growth is the strong and active community that continues to push the project forward after the VMware aquisition by Broadcom.

On September 25th, 2025, the Dutch Proxmox Day returns to Ede, Netherlands—bringing together Proxmox users, operators, and developers from across Europe.

Proxmox VE 9 Beta 1 has been released and represents a major step forward for the Proxmox virtualization platform.

Over the last few months, I’ve repeatedly been asked how I test my Ansible modules and ProxLB setup in a fully automated and reproducible way.

Managing Proxmox VE subscription licenses at scale is a long-standing pain point for administrators.

When it comes to virtualization, many administrators still believe that NFS is not suitable for serious enterprise workloads and that protocols like iSCSI or Fibre Channel are required to achieve acceptable performance.

Running your own on-prem PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) can be a game-changer and it’s not just for enterprises, but also for advanced homelabs.

Automating Proxmox VE cluster creation has long meant fragile shell scripts, manual SSH steps, and hard-to-debug Ansible hacks.

When I first started BoxyBSD, I had a fairly straightforward goal in mind: Build a completely free VPS hosting platform with full IPv6 support aimed at beginners and small open-source projects.

When exploring secure and efficient authentication options for a Proxmox setup, Authentik paired with OpenID Connect (OIDC) emerges as a compelling choice, particularly for those who prioritize open-source tools and in-house data control.

Incus has quickly established itself as a modern, powerful alternative for managing containers and virtual machines.

Incus is a versatile and efficient tool for managing both system containers and virtual machines, offering a unified way to run full Linux systems.

April, April!
