Why does the latest Proxmox 9 network diagram still not show the correct units for Network Traffic? Network throughput is measured in bits per second (Gbps/Mbps), not bytes per second. Displaying this in MiB/s is very misleading because 120 MiB/s = 1 Gbps Question to the Proxmox Team: Is there...

Dear Proxmox team, We have a problem, we can not import .qcow2/.vmdk/.raw files in Proxmox VE Control Panel (Web UI). Can you add this important feature? There is no problem to upload .iso files. Note: We can import .img files but it is showed iso format, can you solve it too? I have created...

While developing the TrueNAS Storage Plugin for Proxmox VE I ran into an issue where fast cloning is not supported and completely bypassed even if the storage plugin advertises it supports cloning. It seems to be if Proxmox sees the storage is a block device of any kind, it will skip the...

Hi there, I am not sure if I am at the correct place to write this, but I would like to do a feature request. We as a hosting company would like to create resource pools inside resource pools. We have many label companies with their own customers so we need to be able to set permissions on the...

Would love to know more about COLO Lockstep Fault Tolerance as it's already been in development for years. Curious to know what are the challenges holding up the implementation?

In VMware you have the option to migrate Compute, Storage or Compute AND Storage. In fact I don't believe proxmox even has a single button to migrate all disks for a specific VM. AFAIK you have to select each individual virtual hard drive and click the move button, wait for it to finish before...

Hi Proxmox team, I’d like to suggest an improvement for the Proxmox Firewall: the ability to define firewall rules not only based on static IP addresses, but directly on VM objects. The idea is to create rules that reference virtual machines by their name, ID, or tags — similar to how it’s...

Hello, Would it be possible to add a filter in the tracking center for statuses to filter all blocked requests, for example?

Hello everyone, first of all, thank you for your great work on Proxmox! I know that DRS is high on your roadmap, and I’m very much looking forward to it – as I’m sure many others are as well. In this context, I’d like to suggest a related feature: A concept similar to “Storage Clusters” (as...

I'd like to propose a new cluster-wide configuration option allowing one to set the default MTU for (VirtIO) vNICs. This would allow one to overwrite the default behavior changes made in Proxmox 9, which changed from "default MTU is 1500" to "default MTU is same as bridge". As it is now, this...

In HA node affinity rules, we have a "Strict" checkbox, which will not allow a VM/CT to be powered on outside of the selected nodes. With it unchecked, guests can, but they will always prefer a selected resource. In the HA resource affinity rules, we do not: And it behaves as if there is...

Hey everyone, I have upgraded our PBS hosts to PBS 4 since the upgrade came around. We are using the new S3 bucket feature which has been awesome. Currently I am trying to only keep a certain amount of backups in our S3 bucket as we have a local PBS and a remote PBS already running for a...

Quality of life 2fa feature request... Checkbox to "Trust this device" Ideally also support push 2fa confirmation to major authenticator apps, though I gather that's significant complexity.

To make it easily distinguishable in putty I set a custom background color for the host but I can't do it through the web-ui. Just an extra layer of, "Hey dummy, you're on the host right now!" for those of us getting old enough to need that extra reminder.

Hi everyone, I would like to group multiple nodes in my Proxmox cluster. This can be because of geographical seperation, or some other reason. It would be nice to have some form of node grouping so that I can see in the node view sidebar which nodes belong to a certain location. If possible...

Hi, We thought about something that could be usefull for anybody : snapshot expiration date. When you take a snapshot, we could have an option with a tick box, then you set a date or a duration after which the snapshot is deleted automatically by the hypervisor. If I talk about our case : when...

Problem: Currently no way to execute custom shell commands on Proxmox hosts via REST API. Need to gather hardware info like dmidecode -s system-serial-number that isn't available through existing endpoints. Proposed Solution: Add POST /nodes/{node}/shell endpoint with: Use Cases: Automated...

Would be nice to have a web ui button for this. This would help with situations when the host system needs multiple restarts. Fore me, i needed this when i've messed around with nvidia proprietaty GRID drivers, rebuilding initramfs every install/remove.

Hello, I'm a system engineer at an IT outsourcing company. My job is to design and deploy virtualization solutions. I've used Proxmox for many years now, but only recently our company started to offer Proxmox as an alternative to ESXi/HyperV. I know Proxmox throughout and know its capabilities...

Hey everyone! As a previous VMWare heavy user I am missing one feature which would make our lifes easier. I would like to have a column IP in the datacenter VM listing. Especially in cases where staff members forget to maintain our IPAM well that would help me a lot to identify IPs which were...
