ProxWall - Integration into your Proxmox VE cluster

(2025-11-14):
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. Almost every organization that migrates from another virtualization platform asks the same question early on. How can network segments be defined and enforced directly inside Proxmox in a simple and centralized way? For a long .... [read more]

Sylve – Modern bhyve Virtualization and Clustering on FreeBSD

(2025-09-05):
Let me spoiler, it's the best I've seen so far for bhyve and FreeBSD! When Stefano told me about Sylve , I just had a quick look at the GitHub project and thought, "okay, just another of thousands jail manager just with a better web ui, similar to the Proxmox one" and I got completely wrong while giving it a ....

CBSD on FreeBSD – bhyve Virtualization with VXLAN and Stretched Layer-2 Networking

(2025-09-04):
In today's globalized IT landscape the term "cloud" dominates conversations about infrastructure, applications, and deployment strategies. Public cloud providers promise scalability, flexibility, and resilience but yet many organizations still operate their own infrastructure for reasons of control, cost, and compliance. In these environments, FreeBSD continues to play an important role as a robust, secure, and versatile operating system. CBSD as .... [read more]

Kanidm OIDC with Proxmox VE – Configuration Guide

(2025-09-01):
In this HowTo we install and configure Kanidm on Linux Debian Trixie and use it for authentication with Proxmox by OIDC (OpenID Connect). In previous articles, I’ve already shown another example in how to integrate Proxmox VE with external identity providers such as Authentik and Keycloak, using them as realms to centralize authentication. Both of these solutions are powerful in .... [read more]

How to Create a Proxmox Offline Repository Mirror for Air-Gapped Environments

(2025-08-26):
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. At its core, a mirror is simply a local copy of selected repositories, yet the advantages extend far beyond faster downloads. By keeping a local mirror, organizations can reduce external bandwidth usage because .... [read more]

Debian 13 (Trixie) LXC Template for Proxmox 8 and 9 – Download

(2025-08-24):
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. While Debian 13 was still in its final freeze phase, I had already created an early beta template ( debian-13-standard_13.x-beta_lxc_proxmox_amd64.tar.gz ) so both I and others could start testing early. Since then, many of you have .... [read more]

Proxmox Storage Management with Ansible via proxmox_storage Module

(2025-08-13):
Managing Proxmox storage resources at scale has traditionally been a cumbersome task. In clustered environments where consistency, reliability, and speed are critical, manually adding or removing storage definitions on each node wastes valuable time and introduces the risk of human error. Imagine configuring NFS shares, CephFS mounts, iSCSI targets or Proxmox Backup Server repositories across dozens or even hundreds of .... [read more]

(2025-08-11):
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. You can really feel the momentum. There is a lot happening around Proxmox, and the pace is only picking up. I see .... [read more]
