We are pleased to announce the first beta release of Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.0! The 8.x family is based on the great Debian 12 "Bookworm" and comes with a 6.2 kernel, QEMU 8.0.2, LXC 5.0.2, OpenZFS 2.1.11.

Note: The current release of Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.0 is a beta version. If you test or upgrade, make sure to first create backups of your data. We recommend Proxmox Backup Server to do so.

Here are some of the highlights of the Proxmox VE 8.0 beta version
  • Ceph Server:
    • Ceph Quincy 17.2 is the default and comes with continued support.
    • There is now an enterprise repository for Ceph which can be accessed via any Proxmox VE subscription, providing the best stability for production systems.
  • Integrate host network bridge and VNet access when configuring virtual guests into Proxmox VE's ACL system.
  • Add access realm sync jobs to conveniently synchronize users and groups from an LDAP/AD server automatically at regular intervals.
  • Countless GUI and API improvements.
  • and much more...
