  1. It is so fascinating for me seeing Proxmox grow. I had an job interview at your firm 8 years ago, and I have the feeling the energy is still there. Sadly I didn't had the knowledge that you needed, but I left the interview with so much more.
    And now I am using Proxmox in a professional setting and I am pleased with it.

  2. Import from ESXi is a good step forward, but this only works if you have an entirely "new" physical host. There needs to be a wizard to mount an existing VMFS datastore LOCAL to the host and convert/import the VM's that way (you can already do this manually).

  3. for vmware to proxmox, is the idea that we have to import them in, ie: current vmware storage is iSCSI, wouldn't we then duplicate this data by importing it to itself…?

  4. Hi there, I have been using proxmox without any issues for years and love it. But on the recent upgrade my USB Ethernet adapters are no longer working. I did a fresh install and the USB Ethernet adapters were working but when I update proxmox they no longer work. Then I did a fresh install, then upgraded and tried to connect them with the Linux bridge as usual and there is an error. Why is this happening? Thanks

  5. My suggestion to all who will update from older proxmox is to – first shut down all vms. It seems like something anyone half experienced would do anyway, but I failed to do that, and out of three proxmox machines, last one failed update and is not booting any more. For a moment I thought i've seen "…vga…" or something as its last breath, and then nothing. Machine had, among other things, 2 gpu passtrough, so it may be related to that. In any case, I blame myself, since reboot after update is expected anyway, so just… shut vms first.

  6. Nice. Good work. I like all the small improvements in UI. Also like finally switching to nftables.

    There are still some changes that require manual modifications to the vm config file, that do popup sometimes. But are pretty rare. For example recently we wanted to setup unique and deterministic wwn / uuid / serial numbers (by default proxmox and qemu does not set them or set them to zeros) to some disk and nvme devices to the guest, and right now, the UI does not support that. But with config, it was easy to pass proper params to qemu.

    Then only missing part is better support for IPv6-only networks. The installer does not support IPv6 at all (which is worse than Debian installer). It also does not support more than one DNS server or DNS over IPv6. (While debian installer does)

    We do not care about LXC. While it is a lightway and nice. Docker would be a bit more welcome, but also not really needed. One can always spin up some other OS in the VM, and run docker or kubernetes there. I prefer my VM platform to be as simple as possible, otherwise it is easy to misconfiguration or mess things (like memory limits).
