Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) continues to grow unstoppable, driven by an enthusiastic community and the increasing adoption of open-source solutions for virtualization and system management. A prime example of this dynamism is the collaborative repository Awesome Proxmox VE, maintained by the Corsinvest community, which serves as a hub for essential documentation, APIs, tools, articles, blogs, videos, and much more.
An essential guide for any Proxmox user or developer
Organized in a clear and useful manner, the repository covers multiple key areas:
- APIs by language: From Python wrappers like
Proxmoxerorpyproxmox, to clients for Go, PHP, Java, .NET, PowerShell, and Node.js. - Practical articles: How to install Docker on ZFS in Proxmox, optimal configuration for Windows 10/Server 2019, or how to import VMs from VMware using the new assistant.
- Monitoring tools: Integrations with Grafana, Checkmk, Netdata, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, PandoraFMS, or Zabbix.
- Advanced backups: Integrations with solutions like Veeam, Bacula, Commvault, NAKIVO, Vinchin, SEP Sesam, or Proxmox Backup Server (PBS).
- Scripts and utilities: From automating snapshots (
cv4pve-autosnap) to automatic scaling of LXC and VMs with AI, including CLI interfaces and Telegram bots.
Community, training, and mobile apps
The list also provides direct access to official forums, mailing lists for developers and users, technical documentation, and free training resources such as ebooks for setting up a home lab with Proxmox.
For those seeking to manage their environments from mobile devices, apps like ProxMobo and ProxMate for iOS and Android are included, geared toward remote management of nodes, clusters, virtual machines, and backup environments.
Scripts and automation for all needs
One of the most powerful sections is the community-developed tools. Projects such as:
Proxmox LXC AutoScale: automatic container scaling based on metrics.ProxLB: intelligent load balancer for VMs across cluster nodes.cv4pve-metrics-exporter: Prometheus exporter for system metrics.Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts: community scripts that simplify PVE configuration.
Open license and collaborative spirit
The repository is published under a CC0 (public domain) license and welcomes contributions from any user. Its goal is clear: to make life easier for administrators, developers, and enthusiasts working with Proxmox VE, whether at home or in enterprise environments.
“A real gem for those wanting to unlock the full potential of Proxmox without getting lost in official documentation or scattered forums.” — comments a prominent Reddit user.
