I use a Mac Pro 2013 to run my homelab stuff and I have it running macOS still because I’m an idiot.

Would you recommend using VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox for VM management?

I find this thing can be more sluggish than I’d expect for something with a high end Xenon and 64GB of RAM

You couldn't do any better, believe me. Found proxmox one year ago and never looked back. And it looks like exactly my same setup. You earned my follow 💪💪🎉🎉

We at @credativde@mastodon.social are launching our very first & free open-source virtualization gathering in Germany, Mönchengladbach.

This new community event brings together everyone who’s passionate about open virtualization technologies, whether it’s Proxmox VE, XCP-ng, bhyve, Harvester, or any of the countless projects that make open infrastructure thrive. It’s about sharing experiences, learning from each other, and connecting with those who build and rely on open platforms every day.

We start the evening with two talks:

* "Enterprise-Ready? How people use Proxmox VE & Ceph" by Ronald Otto from Tuxis B.V.

* "BoxyBSD – Creating a free VPS hosting platform" by Florian Paul Azim Hoberg from credativ GmbH

Afterwards, the space opens up for discussion, networking, and casual chats. If you like to join with a talk, please feel free to reach out to me.

Still looking how to balance your VMs in #Proxmox clusters? #ProxLB 1.1.9 is here!

This release adds features that were requested during the #DutchProxmoxDay2025 which was hosted by our friends Tuxis (tuxis.nl). I'm hearing your feedback and all your feedback from the community and user base is important to me, so let me introduce the following new features:

* Add an optional memory balancing threshold
* Add affinity/anti-affinity support by pools
* Add pressure (PSI) based balancing for memory, cpu, disk
* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for nodes
* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for guests

You can simply upgrade via APT or by obtaining the latest Docker/Container image. PSI based balancing (still in beta) requires Proxmox VE 9 or greater.

Thanks to my employer
@credativ@mastodon.social (https://credativ.de) who provides me the required time to work at this.

🚀 Live from the Dutch #Proxmox Day in Ede: #ProxLB takes the stage!

Today, you can get some more insights about the ProxLB project at the Dutch Proxmox Day 2025, hosted by our friends Tuxis (tuxis.nl)! Even I cannot make it, I'm really happy to know that my mate @formorer@rollenspiel.social (from @credativde@mastodon.social) is stepping in for me to provide you more information and details about ProxLB and its functions!

Together, we can improve and create a fully open source based virtualization environment, fitting all needs - and Proxmox is a perfect base! And we will also see some more talks from Tuxis (tuxis.nl), Proxmox Server Solutions, ESA and Veeam Software.
