We are pleased to announce the release of Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.1!
This point release focuses on expanding visibility and automation for large-scale, multi-site deployments. Our main focus for this iteration has been introducing integrated automation installation workflows and taking our first major steps toward comprehensive, cross-remote guest management. This helps you manage your virtualized environments safely and efficiently at scale.
Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.1 is based on Debian 13.5 "Trixie", ships with the Linux kernel 7.0 as the new stable default, and includes ZFS 2.4.
Main new features and enhancements:

FAQ
Q: How does this integrate into Proxmox Virtual Environment and Proxmox Backup Server?
A: You can add arbitrary Proxmox hosts or clusters as remotes. Proxmox Datacenter Manager will then monitor them and provide basic management using only the API.
Q: How many different Proxmox VE hosts and/or clusters can I manage with a single Datacenter Manager instance?
A: Due to the early stage of development, there are still some pain points, but we are confident that we will be able to handle large setups with a moderate amount of resources. We have run tests with over 5000 remotes and over 10000 virtual guests to confirm the performance expectations of our new UI framework. We are targeting similar numbers for the backend.
Q: What Proxmox VE and Proxmox Backup Server versions are supported?
A: The minimum required Proxmox VE version is 8.4 and the minimum required Proxmox Backup Server version is 3.4.
We will support all actively supported Proxmox project releases, but encourage frequent upgrades of both PDM and the PVE and PBS remotes to leverage all features.
Q: Can I upgrade a 1.0 installation to the stable 1.1 via apt?
A: Yes, upgrading from 1.0 is possible via apt and GUI. We recommend using the pdm-enterprise repository on upgrade for the most stable experience.
Q: Can I upgrade Proxmox Datacenter Manager Alpha to this 1.1 version?
A: Yes, please follow the upgrade instructions on https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_Datacenter_Manager_Upgrade_from_Alpha_to_1
Q: How are the bearer tokens for the automated installation workflow managed?
A: Bearer tokens are scoped per installation and can be reviewed and revoked at any time from the Proxmox Datacenter Manager UI. See the documentation for details on the recommended lifecycle.
Q: Can I install Proxmox Datacenter Manager alongside Proxmox VE or Proxmox Backup Server?
A: Yes, but installing alongside other Proxmox projects is not the recommended setup (expert use only).
Q: What environment does Proxmox Datacenter Manager support?
A: Proxmox Datacenter Manager will work everywhere where a standard x86-64/AMD64 Debian system is supported.
Q: Are there any recommended system requirements for the Proxmox Datacenter Manager?
A: Yes, see https://pdm.proxmox.com/docs/installation.html#system-requirements.
Q: What network setups are supported between Proxmox Datacenter Manager and remotes?
A: In general the Proxmox Datacenter Manager needs to be able to connect to all Proxmox VE remotes directly to send API requests and query load and usage metrics. Remotes on the other hand do not need to be able to connect to Datacenter Manager directly. Reverse proxies between Proxmox Datacenter Manager and any of its Proxmox VE remotes are not supported, we recommend using tunneling (for example, WireGuard or OpenVPN) for hosts that must not be exposed directly to a non-private network.
Q: Where can I get more information about feature updates?
A: Check the roadmap, forum, the mailing list, and/or subscribe to our newsletter.
