release , a specialized Linux distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux, aimed at deploying and managing virtual servers using LXC and KVM, and capable of serving as an alternative to products like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix Hypervisor. The installation size is 900 MB.
Proxmox VE provides tools for deploying a fully functional industrial-grade virtual server system, managed through a web interface designed for handling hundreds or even thousands of virtual machines. The distribution includes built-in tools for organizing backups of virtual environments and offers out-of-the-box clustering support, including the ability to migrate virtual environments from one node to another without downtime. Features of the web interface include: support for secure VNC console; role-based access management to all available objects (VM, storage, nodes, etc.); and support for various authentication mechanisms (MS ADS, LDAP, Linux PAM, Proxmox VE authentication).
In :
- Synchronized with the Debian 10.4 'Buster' package base. The Linux kernel has been updated to version 5.4. Ceph Nautilus 14.2.9, LXC 4.0, QEMU 5.0, and ZFSonLinux 0.8.3 have been updated;
- The web interface now supports the application of Let's Encrypt certificates obtained through DNS validation;
- The admin interface has added the ability to view the full privilege tree for users;
- An experimental GUI for SDN (Software Defined Network) has been added;
- Interface language switching during the current session is now possible;
- When viewing storage content, it is now possible to filter data by creation date;
- Complete support for cgroupv2 has been implemented in LXC and lxcfs. New LXC templates for Ubuntu 20.04, Fedora 32, CentOS 8.1, Alpine Linux, and Arch Linux have been added;
- Improved support for systemd-based containers;
- Default settings have been optimized for running hundreds and thousands of concurrently operating containers on a single node;
- The ability to create templates in directory-based storage has been implemented;
- Support for backup compression using the Zstandard (zstd) algorithm has been added;
- Bandwidth limiting tools have been implemented for SAMBA/CIFS-based storage;
- Functionality for ZFS partitions with unconventional mount points has been established;
- Support for automatic synchronization of users and groups between the Proxmox user database and LDAP has been added. An encryption mode for LDAP connections (LDAP+STARTTLS) has been implemented;
- Full support and integration of API tokens, allowing seamless access for third-party systems, clients, and applications to most of the REST API. API tokens can be generated for specific users, define individual permissions, and be limited in duration;
- Support for live migration with replicated disks for QEMU/KVM has been implemented;
- Support for up to 8 network links has been added. in the cluster.
