Hello Proxmox community,
I’d like to share an open-source project I maintain: Proxbox, a NetBox plugin for synchronizing Proxmox VE infrastructure data into NetBox.
The goal is simple: keep NetBox updated with inventory data from real Proxmox environments, so Proxmox clusters, nodes, VMs, containers, storage, backups, snapshots, interfaces, and IP addresses can be reflected inside NetBox.
Current capabilities include:
I’m sharing it here because Proxmox + NetBox is a common gap for people who want better infrastructure inventory, especially in environments where NetBox is already used as the source of truth for DCIM/IPAM.
Feedback, issues, and contributions are welcome.

- Project repository:
https://github.com/emersonfelipesp/netbox-proxbox - Documentation:
https://emersonfelipesp.com/netbox-proxbox/
Current capabilities include:
- Proxmox cluster and node inventory
- VM and LXC container synchronization
- Storage and virtual disk synchronization
- Network interfaces and IP address discovery
- VM backups and snapshots
- Backup routines / vzdump schedules
- Replication jobs
- HA status visibility
- VM task history
- VM cloud-init data
- Scheduled sync through NetBox background jobs
- Real-time sync progress through SSE
- Separate FastAPI backend: proxbox-api
- Support for Proxmox VE 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x
- Support for NetBox 4.5.x and 4.6.x
- Proxbox is focused on inventory synchronization and discovery.
- It does not try to replace the Proxmox VE UI.
- Metrics such as CPU, memory, and uptime are captured as point-in-time data during sync, not as continuous monitoring.
- For Proxmox VE 9, the API role needs VM.GuestAgent.Audit if you want VM IP discovery through the QEMU guest agent.
