I read a post here in January '24 from a user who said he was successfully using CrowdStrike on his PVE 8 hosts. Has anyone else had similar success? We'd really like to use it, but we want to be careful and make sure of everything first.
 
Never used it - but why not spin up Proxmox as a VM (nested) & test there. If you need a cluster/ha etc. spin up more VMs.

If we did that, it would probably work, at least initially, but who knows what incompatibilities might pop up later? I'm hoping for some feedback from people who have been using it for a while.
 
We have been on Proxmox for about 6 months and Crowdstrike for 7 years. No issues with it being on the host Debian OS or any VM installed. We also have our policies in Crowdstrike turned up to the maximum for every setting.

That is superb news. What PVE version(s) have you run CS on?
 
Initially tested on 8.1 and went live in-prod on 8.2. We are now currently on 8.3.1. We also run Pulseway on the hosts and VMs with no issues. We have their firewalls locked down pretty tight too and it hasn't interfered with anything.

That's excellent to hear. Has CrowdStrike support given you any hassles about running it on Proxmox? I'm under the impression that they do not officially support it.

No. They support Debian and the agent really only cares about the OS. The software installed is up to you to make any exclusions (which we didn't have to make any). We are also running CS on PBS 3.3.0 on-site and in AWS with no issues. Latest CS agent version (7.20.17306) for linux is supported on Debian 9/10/11/12.

That's delightful to hear. I think we'll give it a try in our environment.
