[@Mikesco3]

An SDN tutorial would be welcome. Thank you great job!

I have been using Proxmox SDNs since they first emerged. They really represent a huge advancement. However, I'm not using Simple SDNs because, although communication between VMs on the same Simple SDN on the same host works well, when we place VMs on different hosts within the same cluster, communication between those VMs becomes impossible. So, for those using clusters like me, the solution I found is to have a VM with a router/firewall (such as OPNSense) and use VLAN-type SDNs connected to it. I hope this issue will be resolved by the Proxmox team as soon as possible

[@InversionesAlfadan]

Proxmox should have an option to backup its own configuration, even if it is in a cluster. That would make it a nearly perfect system. Otherwise I use Proxmos every day and I think it's great.

[@pixelfairy]

You can do the inverse and use configuration management like Ansible. Everything proxmox specific is in /etc/pve and roots authorized_keys. So you could just back that up along with /etc/network etc

[@MarkConstable]

Nice upgrade, but still waiting for native PBS host node backups.

[@nono_ct200]

This 👍

[@akretschmann6384]

Not that easy, theres no vsc in kernel 😉

[@Krushx0]

This, this must be priority 0 with browsable restore function during proxmox host ISO instalation or heck even an automated instalation if the right files are in the right place.

[@augurseer]

Agreed. Would love to back up the host node OS.

[@gutschke]

The PBS backup client has a very powerful command line interface. Backing up the host is pretty easy. It's the full system-level restoration that is a little more difficult. And that gets even more difficult, if restoring to different hardware with different number/sizes of disks. And that's often what really matters. In other words, I don't expect a perfect one-size-fits-all solution any time soon. But if you only need to restore a subset of files, or you know that you'll always restore in identical hardware, then this is already quite doable with existing tools and some very light shell scripting

[@trap7369]

the most awaited feature: ova import!

[@LichtTempler]

Yeah!!!

[@ITProSupply]

No excuses for migrating now!

[@meteailesi]

Hey Proxmox Team , thank you for all efforts :) Community loves you !

[@cyberjohn44]

Thumbs up on the OVA import feature and improve tags.

[@romayojr]

thanks for all that you do - i love proxmox!

[@Practical-IT]

Host tags and OVA/OVF import are huge. Thanks for your hard work!

[@Rickety3263]

Thank you for providing this great platform!

[@Darkk6969]

Great improvements! I would love to see status icons on the host themselves to indicate a storage problem like ZFS so I don't have to dig into each node for ZFS status. Yes I know about the e-mail notifications but like to see it on the screen as well.

[@maxherman11]

The one thing missing for me is a fully centralized overview. I am on ESXi right now with vCenter but plan to fully migrate to Proxmox next year. Only thing Proxmox does not have is a vCenter equivalent. I have some hosts that are part of a cluster and some that are standalone and would love a single pane of glass to manage EVERYTHING. It can be like PBS and just be a totally separate thing you install to manage everything. Hope this can come sooner rather than later before I migrate.

[@dragonheadthing]

Excellent new features! (Still waiting on backing up host settings.)

[@cybr774]

another thing not mentioned is the webhooks support as notification targets. Great work!

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

Ow that this a very welcome feature as well!

[@peterge98]

Waiting for host tags, but nice to see some other tag improvements :)

[@GrishTech]

NICE! I sense that tagged based backups are coming soon?

[@AlejandroHamann]

Ah, la vista por tags... Pero qué cosa tan cómoda. Se agradece. Bienvenida sea la importación de OVF/OVA. Felicitaciones!!!

[@artvram]

Thank you for webhook notifications!

[@urielb.7476]

Great News, thank you so much.

[@SystemPromowania]

Thanks Can't wait for OpenZFS 2.3 with add disk option like TrueNAS 🎉

[@JasonsLabVideos]

NICE !! Wicked work you guys !!

[@allanzfs]

Wonderful. Let's hope that they can create folders and move unused or experimental VMs into different folders so they don't clutter up the main screen. I wonder how far back that OVA files can be easily imported from ESXi, 5, 6, 7...?

[@Practical-IT]

Why do you need to create folders when you can use the new tag view feature instead?

[@maxherman11]

Folders for VM's would be AMAZING

[@wojtek-33]

You can already do this. Just use pools and pool view. I know, would be nice to have in server but this works for now.

[@Darkk6969]

Thanks to the new TAG view you can actually tag those VMs as unused or experimental so you can group them that way.

[@akretschmann6384]

Really nice job! Development into the right direction!

[@marcin6386]

Amazing job as always 👏

[@lukaseichholzer8934]

glad for tighter integration, i feel nothing anymore

[@ViciousXUSMC]

I just had used the ESXi import wizard since it didn't seem to let me directly add the OVA files. Just a bit too late lol, but the import wizard worked fine and to my surprise even worked on the free ESXi version.

[@JoaquinVacas]

The OVA import part looks good. I'm waiting for the future versions to implement Gfxstream/Venus/Vulkan on QEMU on the frontend, would love to see :)

[@mynameisjesus88]

Many thanks guys!

[@mahdimahdavi]

SNMP as a native service and extra disk management options to deal with bad-sectors would be nice.

[@fourex59]

I know that this was not the purpose of your video, but it would’ve been nice if you could have just given the couple of lines of instructions to upgrade from previous versions. The overview that you gave is much appreciated.

[@settlece]

Oh, I love this.

[@klzgh]

el dia que hagan un vcenter de proxmox ganan todo el mercado.

[@gilbert1975nf]

As always: great job!

[@davidfarrell1062]

Host config backup is a big ommission

[@jensg.5256]

Great new features. Thats why I love Proxmox 👍. Never get back to bullshit like Unraid

[@RaduRadonys]

Proxmox and Unraid are 2 completely different things lol.

[@rzvendramini]

I ❤ you, ProxMox

[@Jarek.]

Tags are cool, waiting for nested tags 👍

[@aalex-online]

Thanks for this usefull video.

[@Lunolux]

nice, thx

[@lewiskelly14]

All this yet still no easy way to swap Storage space to give myself more room for backups

[@AE-js6ys]

The OVA Import doesnt seem to work on external ceph using cephfs NFS for Import and RBD Storage for VM scsi0: import working storage 'NFS' does not support 'images' content type or is not file based. and returns same error if i set import-working-storage to my RBD Storage pool citing does not support 'images' content type or is not file based.

[@JustinJ.]

Folder grouping seems to be in the same desk drawer as GTA 6, will we ever see it?

[@DanielSouzaMiranda]

nice! but will be great a group management for lxc/vm!

[@szynap1]

kernel: 6.8.4-2-pve .First route on vmbr0 was OK .Second ip route on dev vmbr1 linkdown. Solution was pin kernel 6.5.13-5-pve . Version 8.3 fixed the problem ?

[@brave.circassian77]

Proxmox ❤

[@benchy5769]

Still waiting for custom cloudinit via the web GUI

[@nuhajat]

Keren Amazing

[@kmreiserfs]

Forward firewall finally

[@yeehawitsjake]

wonderful updates, when can i make proxmox my wifey?

[@trojanhorses4760]

K3s integration - when?

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

Never.

[@bryant1968]

love the tag idea.. all that is left is a client equivalent of vmware pro for proxmox.

[@ubuntulinux-s7c]

good dowloading and install in my amd ryzen 3200g oc 5 ghz overcloock

[@rongage1]

Wish list: Auto resource balancer for cluster Compatibility with Cloudstack/Openstack (KVM hosts) VDI support integrated with Active Directory
