Proxmox Phones Home ?

[adoII]

Hi,

I just found the following in my pveam.log (never looked there before).
So my proxmox seems to contact download.proxmox.com every morning ?
What is it doing there ?

your box updates the information about available appliance templates.

Will Proxmox officially clarify what information is collected by Proxmox from the remote servers and virtual machines/templates running your code (such as the administrator's e-mail address, IP address, MAC address, etc.)?

Does the Proxmox ISO distribution have any facility that would enable your staff to exchange files or remotely login to the server (like Trixbox was found to have a few years ago)?

I found your Privacy Policy online (through Google, couldn't find a link to it on your site) and it doesn't talk about this --only your website. You don't have to answer these questions of course, but if you do, it becomes a legally binding statement. Thanks!

We do not collect anything. Your PVE server just download/update the list of available templates.

That's awesome (I thought sure you at least collected the admin email) and it is something to be highlighted on your website
