🚀 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.

I just released ProxLB 1.1.7 for Proxmox - bringing in DRS alike VM resource based balancing to your Proxmox cluster!
What is ProxLB?
The Prox Load Balancer (ProxLB) helps you to rebalance your Container and VM workloads across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster based on the resource usage of nodes (e.g., CPU, memory, local disk).
Changelog:
* Add conntrack state aware migrations of VMs. (Closes: 305)
* Add graceful shutdown for SIGINT command. (Closes: 304)
* Fix crash when validating absent migration job ids. (Closes: 308)
* Fix guest object names are not being evaluated in debug log. (Closes: 310)
* Note: Have a great Dutch Proxmox Day 2025!
ProxLB is fully #opensource and under #GPL (#GPLv3).
Changelog: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB/releases/tag/v1.1.7
Project: https://proxlb.de

Hey #Proxmox community! I would like to hear your thoughts on how you usually update your Proxmox nodes and clusters. How do you handle minor Proxmox and #Debian package upgrades with #APT?
What would you think about a new API endpoint that lets you run unattended upgrades with a simple call like:
/nodes/{node_name}/apt/upgrade
At the moment you need to use the node’s HTML5 console to perform upgrades. Other methods exist such as running unattended Debian upgrade scripts, using patch management tools like #Spacewalk or #QualvoSec, or automating the process with #Ansible over SSH. My idea is to have an API based solution that relies on Proxmox authentication and authorization. This would also allow third party tools such as #ProxLB to provide automated patch management and even handle guest rebalancing in a way that is similar to DRS without requiring direct SSH access.I have already been running this approach on several internal clusters since the release of PVE 8 without issues. Now I am interested to hear if you would use unattended upgrades in general or if you are already running them today.

DRS but for #Proxmox? Yes!
With #ProxLB (free and #opensource / #GPLv3) you can get something which comes close to it - also featuring things like affinity/anti-affinity rules, node pinning, grouping and maintenance mode for multiple nodes. And if you’re even more interested, there’ll be a talk about my project at the #DutchProxmoxDay next month :)

Proxmox fully automated! From ClickOps to Code: Automated. Audited. Revisioned. Repeatable.
Starting from the base by automating:
- Cluster initialization
- Cluster join
- Storage Integration
- Proxmox Backup Server Integration
- SDN Networks (different ones for pros/dev)
- Guest Resources utilizing the cluster infrastructure

Probably the most interesting new feature in Proxmox 9 (Beta 1):
Finally we're able to create #Snapshots of VMs with shared block storage (such like #iSCSI, #FibreChannel & #NVMeoF) with LVM Thick without doing dirty workarounds. Well done Proxmox (& Alex!).
Recently, I created a plugin (including PVE UI integration) for #NetApp based storages to create storage side snapshots.
PS: #ProxLB also already supports PVE9!
