    Let's actually find out vs having speculative pontifications... A lot of the naysaying here is not feet-on-pavement experience, but rather expressions of belief.

    Yep, that'll suck up some power. I'd be looking for power savings too :)

    I’m running three Dell PowerEdge R710s (not clustered), 128GB RAM each, dual Xeons, with Proxmox. Across the trio I host ~10-20 LXC containers and 8-15 VMs. Per box I see ~350W peak, ~250W average, and ~160W idle (single 570W PSU, mostly SSDs)...

    Do you not think it would be worthwhile to share such information for the community so that I myself don't end up with a nice Frankenstein's monster-style creation that others cannot enjoy? Yes, the beauty of open source: share and others can...

    I haven't read these yet, but I thought they sounded quite interesting if they could could perhaps translate to seeing Proxmox being able to somehow integrate a low-power usage model that might make some (seeming small) tradeoffs for deeper...

    Got it. So you go and start ad hominem attacks right off the bat to try to humiliate and minimize my authority so your remarks will stand out more... Pretty shitty move guy. Really does make me wonder why I even try on this forum because the bias...

    So I went ahead and decided I should followup with you @Johannes S and for any Proxmox devs as well as anyone else who might reference this thread. Regarding the two main claims here, both of which do not hold when you look at the numbers and...

    Uhm... Enormous numbers of companies are providing software for macOS. So much so that I was able to abandon Windows essentially 100% around a decade ago. Very, very easily arguable now that macOS has FAR superior software in every aspect to...

    I am sure we would get at least 2-6 support subscriptions if it supported Mac OS guests (on Apple hardware to keep licenses happy). 5-15% compared to our x86_64 subscriptions. I am sure most companies need at least 5% for mac builders, qa...

    I just bought an orange pi 5 plus 32gb. For a fun project with Proxmox on arm. How the heck are you guys not supporting or at least encouraging arm compatibility? Spread like a virus to all the architectures. Let new folks setup labs on...

    @flames fair points. To avoid the "official template for every product" slope, the Container‑Host VM I’m asking for wouldn’t bundle any third‑party app at all. Make it a plain Debian‑based preset (PVE’s native lineage), with cloud‑init that...

    verulian replied to the thread Docker support in Proxmox.
    @flames TL;DR? Short version: not asking Proxmox to run/manage Docker on the host. Agree that host‑level Docker tangles networking and security, and there are already great tools (Portainer, K8s, etc.). The ask is a tiny MVP, purely as an...

    @scyto thanks - appreciate the nudge and the kind words. It does sound like we’re aligned on the goal: keep Docker in a VM, keep PVE clean, give folks a paved on‑ramp. Then let's see where the road goes after that. On storage, your points are...

    i didnt say it was, i used the phrase in a sentence about how we have to be carefull not to dismiss others requirement asks based on our own experiences and expectations, not evey user of proxmox is a sysadmin tl;dr i was agreeing with you...

    @bofh seriously, I’m with you on the dangers. Layer bleed, compose expectations, and host networking landmines are real. That’s exactly why I’m not asking PVE to expose containers, parse compose, or touch guest networking at all. MVP only...

    verulian replied to the thread Docker support in Proxmox.
    @bofh we’re actually in violent agreement on layers. Docker isn’t a VM, and Proxmox is the infrastructure plane. I’m not asking PVE to run Docker or schedule containers. The ask is tiny, opt‑in glue at the edge so people land on the right infra...

    @Johannes S totally hear you. Most mature shops do have Ansible/cloud‑init pipelines already. This isn’t about "can’t," it’s about providing a default, safe, opinionated path that lowers support load and eliminates the steady stream of "Docker on...

    I love Proxmox for what it is... clean, capable, and fast at KVM and LXC. But day to day, Docker is the lingua franca for how apps ship... Even those of us who don’t love it still have to use it constantly (I hate it, but it is what it is), and...

    The new branding is a bit unfortunate. While I was looking at it a coworker walked in on me and asked "How do you pronounce that?" I tried to sound it out and they said "I think it says 'PERVERT'..."... I was at a loss and just laughed. They...

    Heads up: Proxmox Port has been rebranded to PXVirt, and the repository URL has changed. Updated instructions here: https://docs.pxvirt.lierfang.com/en/installfromdebian.html The notice on their Github doesn't inspire much confidence in the...
