Release , a specialized Linux distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux aimed at deploying and maintaining virtual servers using LXC and KVM, and capable of acting as a replacement for products such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix Hypervisor. Installation size 900 Mb.
Proxmox VE provides the means to deploy a turnkey, web-based industrial grade virtual server system for managing hundreds or even thousands of virtual machines. The distribution has built-in tools for organizing virtual environment backups and clustering support available out of the box, including the ability to migrate virtual environments from one node to another without stopping work. Among the features of the web-interface: support for secure VNC-console; access control to all available objects (VM, storage, nodes, etc.) based on roles; support for various authentication mechanisms (MS ADS, LDAP, Linux PAM, Proxmox VE authentication).
Π :
- Synchronized with the Debian 10.4 "Buster" package base. The Linux kernel has been updated to version 5.4. Updated Ceph Nautilus 14.2.9, LXC 4.0, QEMU 5.0 and ZFSonLinux 0.8.3;
- The web interface now has the ability to use Let's Encrypt certificates obtained as a result of confirmation via DNS;
- Added the ability to view the full privilege tree for a user in the admin interface;
- Added experimental GUI for SDN (Software Defined Network);
- Implemented the ability to change the interface language without ending the current session;
- When viewing the contents of the storage, it became possible to filter data by the date of creation;
- LXC and lxcfs have full support for cgroupv2. Added new LXC templates for Ubuntu 20.04, Fedora 32, CentOS 8.1, Alpine Linux and Arch Linux;
- Improved support for systemd-based containers;
- The default settings are adapted to run hundreds or thousands of concurrent containers on a single host;
- Implemented the ability to create templates in directory-based repositories;
- Added support for compressing backups using the Zstandard (zstd) algorithm;
- For storages based on SAMBA/CIFS, means of limiting bandwidth are implemented;
- Improved work of ZFS partitions with non-standard mount points;
- Added support for automatic synchronization of users and groups between the Proxmox user database and LDAP. Implemented LDAP connection encryption mode (LDAP+STARTTLS);
- Full support and integration of API tokens is provided, allowing third-party systems, clients and applications to seamlessly access most of the REST API. API tokens can be generated for specific users, define individual powers and be limited in time;
- For QEMU/KVM, support for live migration with replicated disks has been implemented;
- Added support for using up to 8 network links in the cluster.
