How I quickly spawn my #Proxmox Labs - Proxmox Cloud Image & Proxmox Bare-Metal Auto Installer
This way, you can just spin up your cluster in less than 5 minutes and continue your tests :)

Pssssst - ProxLB 1.1.5 for your Proxmox Clusters has been released!
Just one small new feature:
* You can now use custom ports for the API request
This becomes handy when using additional/external load balancers on different ports than tcp/8006. Have fun :)
Hat von Euch jemand Linux Mint auf Proxmox am laufen, stürzt bei mir immer nach ein paar Tagen ab. Dann hilft nur ein Hard Reset.
Looking for a dedicated GPU for #transcoding purposes turned out to be the worst rabbit hole.
So, I'm using a AMD Ryzen 4600G in my homelab featuring #ProxmoxVE. The hardware transcoding capabilities of AMD hardware is very much behind Nvidia and #Intel, even though it isn't half as bad as expected. Anyway, the best transcoding hardware (best quality at same size/profile) are Intel devices featuring #QuickSync. Setting up another dedicated transcoding device (featuing a low power Intel APU such as the #N100) device doesn't seem to make much sense for me. There are several Intel Arc GPUs on the market and they all have pretty much the same transcoding capabilities, so I'd like to get the Intel GPU featuring the lowest power draw, especially when idling. (1/?)
ProxLB v1.1.3 just got released!
ProxLB is a VM load-balancer for your Proxmox clusters also supporting affinity & anti-affinity rules.
GitHub: github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB
Version 1.1.3: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB/releases/tag/v1.1.3
Happy to announce, that there'll be a talk about my #ProxLB project at the Dutch #Proxmox Day 2025!
In "The Art of Balance – Dynamic Load Management in Proxmox with ProxLB", @formorer (from our company @credativde speaks about the opportunities by integrating such solutions into your Proxmox cluster!
Thanks to the Tuxis Team for providing us this opportunity!
Feel free to join the Dutch Proxmox Day - 25.09.2025!
Proxmox for Enterprises: Imagine DRS-Like Guest Load Balancing!
ProxLB automatically rebalances VMs & Containers across a Proxmox cluster based on memory, CPU, and local disk usage, and can suggest the best nodes for further automation within CI/CDs. It supports maintenance mode, affinity and anti-affinity rules, and integrates seamlessly with the Proxmox API and ACL system. No SSH, just pure API! The best - it's free & #opensource
Proxmox in Enterprises: I'm often asked, 'Can we use our Active Directory, LDAP, or OIDC with Proxmox?' Yes, you can!
Let's have quick dive into installing and configuring Authentik and configure Proxmox VE to use OIDC as an additional authentication realm.

My wifey approved #homelab had to move...
The reason is easy - you can probably already guess that there might be some thermal problems raising on the left picture. It resulted into permanently spinning & annoying fans. Also the temperatures went a way too high. So, easy solution - everything moved into a metal shoe rack under my working desk. From ~80°C CPU temperature it dropped to ~65°C without spinning fans.
Want to get rid of license costs of your #VMware environment? Switching to #Proxmox & looking for enterprise features like DRS? #ProxLB (opensource) has you covered!
With ProxLB you extend the features of your Proxmox cluster with DRS alike features including affinity & anti-affinity support, maintenance mode and soon also power management (DPM alike) and automated security patching!
From #VMware to #Proxmox VE: Step-by-Step Escape Plan
#ProxmoxVE has become a popular platform because of its #opensource nature. Using the built-in import tool, they go through the steps for migrating a #virtualmachine from a standalone VMware #ESXi server to Proxmox Virtual Environment.
You can shift workloads with minimal downtime and disruption by following the right preparation steps: verifying compatibility, cleaning up VMware Tools, and configuring import settings.

Load Balancing in #Proxmox Clusters? #ProxLB just got released in version 1.1.2. Let's make the switch to #opensource together!
Now, focusing on power management for nodes (like DPM) & auto node security patching :)
@secure4edit Danke, aber ich nutze privat glücklicherweise #ProxmoxVE. 
Playing a bit with #ProxmoxVE #sdn. Works quite well!
Been testing out the #virtiofs support now baked into #proxmoxVE. It works, had to do some #selinux adjustments on #fedora to allow my #podman containers to use the mountpoint. Added this policy
```
(allow container_t unlabeled_t ( dir ( read write )))
```
In raw speed it is definitely not a winner - #nfs is easily double the speed. But on this particular VM I don't need the speed - it is nice that this is all self-contained now, and I can actually remove NFS altogether.
Proxmox VE 8.4 released on Debian 12.10 base with Linux Kernel 6.8.12, live migration support with mediated devices, API for third-party backup solutions, Virtiofs directory passthrough
