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. 
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

#ProxLB - an opensource & advanced VM loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters. Including affinity & anti-affinity rules, maintenance mode (evacuating nodes) and more. I just published my slides about it.
Project: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB
Slides: https://cdn.gyptazy.com/files/talks/ProxLB-Intelligent-Workload-Balancing-for-Proxmox-Clusters.pdf
No April Fools' joke - the new #ProxLB release is scheduled for the 1st of April! Stay tuned!
ProxLB is an advanced #loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters that brings in features like #DRS (known from #VMware), #maintenance mode and (anti-)#affinity groups.
ProxLB 1.0.7 (an opensource DRS alike solution for #Proxmox clusters) is just around the corner!
1.0.7 will be the last version before I'm going to publish the new refactored code base in a modern and object oriented way. Version 1.1.0 squashes some more bugs that were postponed on the current code base and makes the overall future handling much easier (including new features).

I get more & more mails from people who are happily using my #ProxLB (a loadbalancer for Proxmox) - feel free to leave me a note (if you like, even with some more details). This way, I can better understand the needs of the user base.

#ProxLB - A loadbalancer for Proxmox clusters!
The Prox Load Balancer (ProxLB) helps you to rebalance your Container and VM workloads across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster. It is similar to VMware's DRS (Dynamic Resource Scheduler) which allows you to balance your cluster by memory, CPU or local storage usage to ensure an equal distribution within the cluster. With affinity & anti-affinity groups you can also create groups where objects should be moved to a different groups as a whole unit or even forbid to be scheduled on the same node (e.g. HA setups).

ZFS and PBS are simply awesome - and you can use it on BSD but also on Linux! It ensures your data integrity and provides you additional benefits with features like compression and deduplication. Imagine this disk space usage without it?!
Edit: s/PBS/ZFS/
Lenovo Thinkcentre M710q tiny refuses to detect the NVMe drive I have installed. But when I boot from an installer USB, I have no issue installing my OS of choice to said NVMe that stays invisible to the BIOS.
Whut?
#ProxmoxVE 8.3 has been released (#Proxmox / #VirtualEnvironment / #Virtualization / #VirtualMachine / #VM / #Linux / #Debian / #Bookworm / #DebianBookworm / #QEMU / #LXC / #KVM / #ZFS / #OpenZFS / #Ceph) https://proxmox.com/
Hey #Proxmox users. How do you decide that there are enough VMs and CTs for the current node and you need a new one?
