Avoid Live Migration Issues in Proxmox VE with ProxCLMC
Live migration is one of the most powerful and frequently used features in a Proxmox VE cluster, but it relies on a prerequisite that is often underestimated: consistent CPU compatibility across all nodes. In real-world environments, clusters rarely consist of identical hardware where we could simply use the host type. Nodes are added over time, CPU generations differ, and feature ....

BoxyBSD – Why Switching the Virtualization Hypervisor
BoxyBSD started as a simple idea. Lowering the barrier of entry into the BSD world. What began in late 2022 on spare hardware has grown into a globally distributed, fully automated, free VPS platform that allows beginners and newcomers to explore BSD systems without needing a credit card, prior infrastructure knowledge, or their own hardware. Where was the talk given? .... [read more] | [2025-12-14]

ProxWall - Integration into your Proxmox VE cluster
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] | [2025-11-14]
IncusOS – Secure and Immutable Virtualization Platform
IncusOS is an immutable operating system created with one clear goal: To run Incus safely, predictably and efficiently. Every part of its design focuses on providing a hardened, consistent and fully automated foundation for container and virtual machine management. Built on Debian 13, IncusOS includes its own kernel and Incus builds to maintain full control over the complete software stack. .... [read more] | [2025-11-07]
Sylve – Modern bhyve Virtualization and Clustering on FreeBSD
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
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] | [2025-09-04]
Kanidm OIDC with Proxmox VE – Configuration Guide
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] | [2025-09-01]
How to Create a Proxmox Offline Repository Mirror for Air-Gapped Environments
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] | [2025-08-26]
Debian 13 (Trixie) LXC Template for Proxmox 8 and 9 – Download
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] | [2025-08-24]
