PegaProx Adds XCP-ng Support for Multi-Hypervisor Management
PegaProx was originally designed as a centralized control platform for Proxmox VE based infrastructures. Pegaprox's goal has always been to bring together complex virtualization environments into a single management interface that simplifies daily operations and reduces administrative overhead. While the last upgrades added support for additional features, like EntraID / OIDC support , the latest development milestone of version 0.9.1, ....

Running a Proxmox VE cluster is fantastic for virtualization — until patch day arrives. Then it becomes a repetitive routine: migrate VMs, update packages, reboot nodes, wait for quorum, and repeat for every server. On clusters with more than a handful of nodes, this process is not only time-consuming, it is also easy to get wrong. A missed migration or ....

Setting up a reliable mail infrastructure is no longer limited to large organizations. With modern components like Stalwart Mail Server and FoundationDB, it is possible to run a highly available and distributed mail platform without relying on a single machine or a fragile storage backend and I became a pretty huge fan of this setup. The goal of this setup .... [read more] | [2026-02-15]PegaProx for Proxmox: AD + OIDC Support
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. With the release of version 0.6.6 , the development team has delivered on one of the most vocal requests from the enterprise community: the integration of centralized, industry-standard authentication. ....

FOSDEM , the Free and Open Source Developers’ European Meeting, is an annual pilgrimage for open source enthusiasts from all over the world. What started as a small gathering in 2000, originally named the Open Source Developers of Europe Meeting (OSDEM), has grown into one of the most significant conferences dedicated to free and open source software. In 2026, FOSDEM .... [read more] | [2026-01-31]PegaProx: Datacenter Manager for Proxmox
PegaProx is designed to be the central control point for modern Proxmox VE based datacenters. It brings together everything administrators need to manage complex infrastructures in a single, clear interface, similar to what many operators already know from established enterprise virtualization platforms. Instead of switching between clusters, nodes, storage views, and monitoring tools , PegaProx provides a real unified platform ....

This post describes how to export metrics from bhyve based virtual machines and Jails managed by Sylve on FreeBSD by my Prometheus exporter. The focus is on collecting reliable data from the host system without relying on tooling that was primarily designed for Linux hypervisors or assumes the existence of hypervisor level counters. Monitoring bhyve workloads on FreeBSD is different .... [read more] | [2026-01-22]ProxSnap: Snapshot Management for Proxmox
Snapshots are one of the most useful safety mechanisms in virtualized environments. They make it easy to roll back changes, reduce risk during upgrades, and provide confidence when testing or migrating workloads. Proxmox VE supports snapshots for both virtual machines and containers, and on a single guest level this works well and reliably. The problem starts once a setup grows ....

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. At that time I was deeply involved in my BoxyBSD project which provides free VPS instances for people who are interested in BSD systems. Running such an environment made it very clear that a DRS ....

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. It provides advanced features such as pinning, affinity and anti-affinity rules, maintenance mode, and intelligent node selection to keep workloads where they belong. With a strong focus on simplicity and native integration, ProxLB enhances .... [read more] | [2026-01-12][next]
