I just began configuring my little #Dell #Optiplex7060 to be a virtualization server. Perfect for a #homelab. I am going the #proxmoxVE route after all. I tried XCP-ng and it was an overkill for my needs. I just have to wait for my second NIC card to arrive from Amazon. For performance reasons, I'm using PCI-passthrough for #OPNsense

Okay #homelab enthusiasts, I am looking at building a virtualization host. I’ve just tried out #ProxmoxVE and I just don’t like it that much. It feels clunky and bothers me to upgrade to a paid model constantly. I guess its tight integration with KVM made it appealing but I need to evaluate #xcpng. I don’t like the UI of Proxmox.

I really hate how #ProxmoxVE continually sends information popups about not being a subscriber. I think I might investigate #xcpng instead. The constant reminders are annoying. I don't have the money to subscribe but I would willingly donate.

You asked for it, you get it! Custom ACME backend in #PegaProx for your #Proxmox VE based clusters - allowing any ACME supported CA!

Okay, I just ran into a similar issue which re-prioritized it higher for me to implement... But hey, here it is! You can now also use ACME with any other ACME compatible CAs rather than just Let's Encrypt. In this example, you can see it with my own Certificate Authority (CA) "gyptazy open-source solutions", which is operated by StepCA.

I'm really happy to see how PegaProx becomes better and better every day... Over Easter, several new cool features took place!

Adding the new #syslog feature to #PegaProx for #Proxmox clusters during Easter is basically: hiding eggs → finding eggs → realizing some eggs are actually critical alerts

For real, many people asked me for their smaller and mid-sized environments, how to handle remote syslog of their nodes. I had some ideas (some of you may have already found my Rust interpretation of this) but I think having this included in #PegaProx as a centralized management interface makes more sense.

So, PegaProx comes with an own syslog server (ipv4/ipv6, udp/tcp, encrypted/unencrypted support) and is wired to the interface within the resources tab. Providing a quick overview of all your logs and filter options. The next thing is wiring it to the notification system of PegaProx, allowing automated alerting. Might be nice to quickly identify when the quorum got lost - all built-in into PegaProx!

Last week I had several meetings with customers where I also showcased the #PegaProx project for #Proxmox.

The feedback was honestly amazing. Many were impressed by how PegaProx brings essential enterprise grade features to Proxmox clusters that are still missing today. We can clearly see the gaps that were fixed by #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxPatch and many other ones! Keep in mind, PegaProx is free and fully #opensource!

That said, we know there's always room for improvement. Whether it is major enhancements or small quality of life tweaks, every detail matters. Over the weekend, I took your feedback from the calls seriously and integrated a number of improvements to make PegaProx even more intuitive and powerful.

Your input drives this project forward. If you feel something is missing or could be improved, let us know!

PS: Pegaprox also support #XCP (#XCPng) ans corss-cluster / cross-hypervisor migrations. So, you can quickly jump over to XCP 🙂

#ProxPatch for #Proxmox VE Clusters!

Automate the most repetitive operational task in Proxmox: keeping cluster nodes updated! ProxPatch drains, migrates, patches, and reboots nodes in a controlled rolling fashion — no downtime, no manual intervention.

ProxPatch is written in Rust and fully #opensource.
