feature-request

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...

Hello, apologies if this is the wrong location for requesting a feature. Feature: Ephemeral VMs Use Case: Running Machines with testing software purposes where reconfiguration of a base image is required, but said configurations are not desired for the long term. Work Around: Create a...

Hi all, I'm evaluating proxmox for use in an production environment. I’ve run into a recurring problem that highlights a design limitation in Proxmox VE’s cluster system (pmxcfs). When a node is removed from a cluster and later needs to re-join, the process consistently fails with errors...

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...

Hi @Support, Posting here for consideration. I was prepping to upgrade to pve9 by getting all the updates for 8 squared away and had a stuck node with ~ 'processing post install hooks for pve-manager' (or so). Essentially the manager process was trying to bounce pve-ha-lrm and it was stuck. It...

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...

If the guest system was not running since the last backup, a new backup makes little sense. Current: Old backups will get deleted and new backups accumulate with no change in between them. Better: Add switch to make backups only when guest system was/is running. Regards

Hi, I did not found any feature request to add LUKS to the installer, so I opened one. It should be one oft the most requested features and help to save a lot of time and complexity, when already during the installation process a LUKS volume could be created and then on top of it the selected...

Scenario is this: I created a VM and accidentally didn't uncheck Backup? from the config on of a 3.2TB NAS. An attempted backup last nigh of all Guests meant that the whole backup storage filled up. Garbage collection says there is 900GB in a Pending state. I believe I have to now sit and wait...

Hi, I've recently started using PVE for my homelab, and I find the location of the "bulk actions" dropdown is not intuitive (for me). IMHO bulk actions make the most sense when working in the VM list, and when I'm working in that list I find it's unnatural to go to the node to use the bulk...

Hi, it would be nice to be able to set the Async IO option (aio=) for cloud-init drives in the GUI. We are running a shared storage on a SAN LUN with OCFS2 and we know this is an unsupported setup. Since kernel 6.5 we need the aio=threads parameter for virtual disks. For normal vHDDs this can...

It would be very useful for sysadmins and devops teams, if there was an embedded task scheduler/queue worker for native actions like QEMU/LXC power actions, migrations and deletions with system and user defined intervals or just once-off actions. This feature should be available through API and...

Hi everyone, As already mentioned in this thread, I would really like to see an option in Proxmox where I could use, for example, a USB stick where everything is stored on and at boot time, it gets loaded to a RAM disk, similar to how ESXi operates. An option for backward compatibility would...

Hi, it is very useful to just search for assigned IP-addresses than just for the VM-Name. Would it be possible to index all qemu-guest-agent information and then make it searchable?

Hi, I'm a long time user of Proxmox ve and Proxmox backup server since it came out. Currently I'm optimising my backup setup, and I was wondering how hard it would be to add some additional logic to the backups. It would be very handy to have the following options added to the mix: Exclude...
