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 try! When looking at virtualization and container management on FreeBSD, you quickly notice that while there are many tools around, most of them either feel outdated or are missing import...| Blog
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. One of the powerful tools in the FreeBSD ecosystem is ...| Blog
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 exampl 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 their own right, but sometimes you might be looking for something that is more lightweight, simple to deploy, and ...| Blog
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 every server pulls packages from the same local source rather than repeatedly accessing the internet. Th...| Blog
It’s now been several weeks since the release of Debian 13 (Trixie), but there is still no official LXC container template for it from Proxmox. Back when Debian 13 was in its final freeze stage, I had already created an early template ( debian-13-standard_13.x-beta_lxc_proxmox_amd64.tar.gz ) so I and also you could start testing. Since then, I’ve prepared a proper final version to share with the community, as many of you guys asked me to create one. Debian Trixie 13 LXC Image for Proxmox ...| Blog
Managing Proxmox storage resources at scale has traditionally been a cumbersome task. In clustered environments where consistency, reliability, and speed are critical, manually adding or removing storage definitions on each node wastes valuable time and introduces the risk of human error. Imagine configuring NFS shares, CephFS mounts, iSCSI targets or Proxmox Backup Server repositories across dozens or even hundreds of nodes, each in different locations, and having to repeat the same steps ma...| Blog
The Proxmox ecosystem has grown massively in recent months – and one of the key reasons behind this growth is the strong and active community that continues to push the project forward after the VMware aquisition by Broadcom. You can really feel the momentum. There is a lot happening around Proxmox, and the pace is only picking up. I see this every day in my own work. Proxmox has become one of the most important parts of my tech stack. It’s reliable, flexible, and can be used in so many d...| Blog
With Proxmox 9 now officially released as the first beta version and based on Debian Trixie, and the final Debian 13 release just a few days away, it makes sense to start preparing and testing early. Especially in virtualized environments like Proxmox, it’s helpful to evaluate upcoming systems before they become the new stable default. I’ve noticed that there isn’t a widely available LXC container template for Debian Trixie yet. Since I wanted to begin testing some setups myself, I deci...| Blog
Oh, it’s that time of year again! On September 25th, 2025, we’re heading to Ede, Netherlands for the Dutch Proxmox Day 2025. The Dutch Proxmox Day is a yearly conference fully focused on everything around Proxmox. If you’re working with Proxmox VE or just curious about what’s possible, this is the event to be at. This event is organized by Tuxis B.V., a Dutch company deeply involved in the Proxmox community. Admission? Completely free, thanks to the amazing sponsors CT and KPN. What t...| Blog
Proxmox VE 9 Beta 1 has just been released and marks a significant milestone as it’s now based on the upcoming Debian 13 "Trixie." This major upgrade brings a modernized foundation while continuing the trusted stability and features of previous versions. One of the standout improvements in this release is the introduction of VM snapshot support for thick-provisioned LVM storage, a feature that’s now available as a technology preview. With a new storage property enabled, snapshots can pers...| Blog
