About ProxmoxGuide

Virtualize with confidence.

ProxmoxGuide covers Proxmox VE end to end: installation, cluster formation with Corosync, quorum and QDevice, ZFS storage and Ceph replication and when Ceph is worth the complexity, backup strategy with vzdump and Proxmox Backup Server, cloud-init templates, the datacenter and VM firewall layers, and GPU passthrough including the AMD reset bug.

It is written for people running Proxmox as real infrastructure rather than a weekend experiment. Sources are the Proxmox VE administration guide, the OpenZFS and Ceph documentation, and kernel documentation.

20 articles are published so far. New articles are announced on the RSS feed; there is no fixed publishing schedule and this site does not promise one.

How these articles are produced

Articles are researched from primary sources: vendor and project documentation, published standards and specifications, release notes, advisories, and measurements published by the people who took them. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited against those same sources before anything is published. Where a figure comes from a datasheet or a third-party measurement, the article names the source and links to it so you can check the original rather than take this site's summary of it.

Everything here is published under the ProxmoxGuide Editorial byline. That is an editorial desk, not a person, and no article on this site claims hands-on lab testing, benchmarking, or first-hand measurement. Nothing here should be read as a report of something this site physically tested.

Corrections

Getting it right matters more than getting it first. If something on this site is wrong, out of date, or missing the source it should cite, email hello@proxmoxguide.com with the page and the specific claim. Substantive corrections are made on the page itself rather than quietly dropped.

How this site is funded

This site currently runs no affiliate links, no sponsored content, no paid placement, and no display advertising. Nothing on it earns a commission. If that changes, this page and the disclosure page will say so before any such link appears.

The full position is on the disclosure page. Read it before acting on anything here that reads like a buying recommendation.
