suggestion

Hi Proxmox team, I’d like to propose a new option for the “Start at boot” setting for VMs and containers. Currently, the available choices are Yes or No. It would be very useful to have a third option: “Last state.” If some VMs/CTs are started manually, they currently remain off after a host...

Greetings. I wanted to suggest a feature; having one unified page to control multiple nodes without clustering them. It should behave just like when you add a clustered node, show up in the tree view like it does but have no quorum requirement(s).

Greetings. I wanted to make the suggestion that Docker containers show up in the tree view of the datacenter view in Proxmox VE. Datacenter -> Node -> VM/LXC -> Docker container(s). The reason for it is because it is annoying that some Proxmox containers contain several Docker containers and...

Hello, I have successfully setup an USB Device in Resource Mappings. While there is documentation on attaching Resource Mapping devices to VMs, I cannot verify if it's possible to use them for LXCs and there is no way add the device via Device Passthrough in the GUI. I took a look around at...

From the ProxmoxVE Web GUI, we can click on the "File Restore" button. The Web GUI, show an interface with all system files and a button "Download" is available. It would be very useful to add a "Restore in VM" button that allow to copy the file directly in the virtual machine. The user could...

Hello everybody, I just saw at least three threads where somebody asked how to use rclone to sync PBS datastores (the answer is of course: You don't). Although I'm happy to help people I think the time of help seeking people, the community and Proxmpox staff would be better served if we would...

Hi, I have chosen to use BTRFS since I have been using that since it was included with (Open)SUSE so also chose it for Proxmox. I noticed very low compression on my disk images. Just a few percent. You can easily investigate this by using compsize (package btrfs-compsize). The default mount...

It would be good to delete old kernels from GUI. Now i run a apt-get autoremove from command line and delete almost 7 Gb old kernel files! I forget to check it, because every function that i use is avaliable via GUI.

Hello folks. I had some problems with my network, and I thought it would be awesome if I had two features, so I'm leaving a suggestion. - Make a trial configuration before making it permanent. I couldn't find anything related to this, but having something like a try button, that will apply the...

Over the past couple years i have been managing several proxmox clusters (currently 3 quite large ones with 10+ nodes / 150+ vms) and i really have to say there are some things that can become a real pain specially on larger deployments... Currently most of the time i am using the pool view and...

Hi, my suggestion is to have the possibility the create Folders, like on VMWare or even Active directory, to organize the VMS eg: proxmox-1/ ├─ development/ │ ├─ project-1/ │ │ ├─ vm1 │ │ ├─ vm2 ├─ production/ │ ├─ project-1/ │ │ ├─ vm1 instead of the current one: proxmox-1/ ├─...

Hello everybody, 3 month ago i got a refurbished Fujitsu Q956 Mini PC to try out Proxmox and further possibilities for private use. It was more to learn and play around a little bit. Before I had no knowledge about VMs, Linux in generall and docker and so on. I got some very basic knowledge now...

Hi, After some testing and feedback from proxmox staff, I would suggest: 1. reenable change of compression level during backup to PBS (now it's locked to ZSTD, but in the past it allowed uncompressed). At this point forcing compressions can make CPU bottleneck and also increase load on the node...

Hi, It would be nice to allow admins of a cluster to define either: - a minimum votes required for a quorum (yes, admins might be aware of pitfalls and are prepared to deal with consequences) OR - define behaviour when quorum is not achieved - current "stop everything and just sit there" is a...

I don't know if it's only me, but I sometimes wished that the server-view in in the proxmox web ui would be monospace. I mean that if some kind of naming convention is used it's still hard to find the servers, as their naming is not aligned very well. If it's not only me wondering if that would...

Hi, Right now you can select: Include/exclude selected vm's, pool based and All. I would like to see a per node option. I could do this with pool based, but you can't add a vm to more pools.

Hi, Wasn't sure whether to post here or create a GitHub issue. Whilst managing VMs it's generally a hassle to cross-reference disk IDs all the time and I can imagine lead to people accidentally deleting the wrong disk - especially when more than one disk is on the VM with same pool/capacity...

When run Clone option I like to say which of HD to include in the clone process or not

Add new button to move file from VM1 to VM2 shell: mv /var/lib/vz/images/1/hd1.qcow /var/lib/vz/images/2/hd1.qcow
