Roadmap

For completed items, see the release notes for previous versions below.

The items below describe development directions and priorities. Not all are planned for immediate delivery. Some are long-term efforts spanning multiple major releases, and items may be reprioritized based on engineering capacity, enterprise customer requirements, and community feedback.

  • Resource organization and access control:

    • Folders as a first-class hierarchical entity: each remote has a single home folder, and access can be delegated per folder.

    • Tags as a flat labeling scheme, independent of the folder hierarchy, where a resource can carry several tags.

    • A finer-grained ACL schema: Resource* roles that separate managing a resource from modifying its definition, folders acting as ACL anchors, and closing the remaining cross-cluster delegation gaps.

  • Guest and resource management:

    • Bulk actions on virtual guests across the selection in the central guest list, building on the cluster-wide bulk-action endpoints that the underlying Proxmox products provide and degrading gracefully where they are missing; the same operations also through the admin CLI, with aggregated progress and per-item results.

    • More information in resource overviews and detail panels, and more options in the migration dialog, such as a bandwidth limit and an online/offline preference.

    • Management of further core configurations of remote resources: a backup-job overview with last-execution status, and basic guest configuration beyond snapshots, lifecycle and migration. Proxmox Datacenter Manager keeps linking out to the remote's full interface for anything complex.

    • A console for remote resources (nodes and guests).

  • Remotes and onboarding:

    • Simplify adding remotes through copy-and-paste Quick-Add information, mirroring the Proxmox VE cluster-join flow but independent of cluster communication and working on single nodes too.

    • Handle multi-factor authentication for the initial Probe Remote connection.

  • Networking:

    • First-class SDN integration, further phases: stretch EVPN VNets across clusters, support multiple VRFs across clusters, and automate route-target import and export.

    • Firewall management, likely landing together with the SDN work.

  • Notifications:

    • Standard system, update and task notifications for the Proxmox Datacenter Manager node itself.

    • Evaluate whether Proxmox Datacenter Manager can act as a notification target for remotes.

  • Search and usability:

    • More expressive search and filter syntax: wildcards for view filter values, richer expressions in the resource search bar, and additional category keywords.

    • Polish error messages and handling across the web interface, the CLI and the API, with richer presentation of API errors and more actionable guidance on common failure modes.

  • Further integrations and resilience:

    • Integration of further Proxmox projects: Proxmox Mail Gateway as a remote, and deeper Proxmox Backup Server integration including job status, datastore content browsing and prune retention.

    • Off-site replication copies of virtual guests for manual recovery on a datacenter failure (not HA).

    • Evaluate an active-standby architecture for Proxmox Datacenter Manager itself, to avoid a single point of failure; two instances side-by-side already cover this in practice, at the cost of doubled metric collection.

Release History

Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.1

Released 28. May 2026

  • Based on Debian Trixie (13.5)

  • Latest 7.0 Kernel as stable default

  • ZFS 2.4.2

Features (Highlights)

  • Integration of automated installation functionality.

    Proxmox Datacenter Manager can now manage answer file configurations and serve them to remotes, allowing for centralized management of installation parameters.

    Installation progress can be tracked from within Proxmox Datacenter Manager's web interface.

    A token system protects the installation process, enhancing overall security.

    Prepared answers can carry an optional Proxmox subscription key, so a new node registers its subscription automatically without an extra operator step.

  • Subscriptions can now be centrally managed through a subscription registry in Proxmox Datacenter Manager.

    Administrators can configure a central pool of subscription keys and assign them to specific remotes.

    Subscriptions can be assigned to or cleared from remotes.

    Assignments can also be suggested automatically to ease handling large numbers of remotes.

  • Ceph clusters on connected hyper-converged Proxmox VE remotes can now be monitored.

    The status of multiple Ceph clusters can be seen at a glance from a single panel.

    The health status, capacity and performance, as well as the status of monitors, managers, OSDs and flags, can be inspected.

  • Metrics are now collected for the Proxmox Datacenter Manager host itself.

    Administrators can tell at a glance how utilized their Proxmox Datacenter Manager host is.

  • New widgets visualize the location of remotes on a map and use gauges to show the utilization of resources.

    Locations should be set via the node or datacenter options on Proxmox VE remotes.

    For Proxmox Backup Server remotes, the location can be set under Configuration → Other → Location.

  • First step toward central guest management across connected remotes.

    A new cross-remote view lists all QEMU and LXC guests as a flat sortable table or as a tree grouped by remote, with text filtering and the most common per-guest actions readily available.

    Snapshot management is centrally available for QEMU and LXC guests: list a guest's snapshots in a parent/child tree and create, roll back, delete or edit a snapshot's description, either from the central guest list or from the per-guest detail panel.

    An explicit Resume action is offered for paused or suspended QEMU guests, complementing the existing start, stop and shutdown actions.

    This is the initial iteration of central guest management; expect further day-to-day tasks to be integrated in upcoming releases.

Changelog Overview

Enhancements in the Web Interface (GUI)

  • Add RRD graphs for the Proxmox Datacenter Manager host to the node status panel.

  • Add gauge chart widgets for CPU, memory and storage utilization for views and the default dashboard.

  • A new widget allows visualizing remotes on a map.

  • Add a cross-remote guest list showing all QEMU and LXC guests across connected Proxmox VE remotes, either as a flat sortable table or as a tree grouped by remote, with text filtering and the common per-guest actions.

  • Add central snapshot management for QEMU and LXC guests, accessible from the central guest list or as a Snapshots tab in the per-guest detail panels (issue 7207).

  • Offer an explicit Resume action for paused or suspended QEMU guests, complementing the existing start, stop and shutdown actions.

  • Add a certificate check and re-pin dialog for remotes: after a TLS certificate rotation, the dialog re-probes the configured nodes, lets the operator accept the new fingerprint per node or clear the stored pin, and applies the changes as one batch. It is reachable from the remotes list and offered directly on a Proxmox VE or Proxmox Backup Server remote whose connection is currently failing.

  • The notes field now supports a subset of MathML to allow presenting calculations in proper mathematical notation.

  • Derive IDs for headings in the notes field automatically to enable intra-document links.

  • Add a button to download the system report on the node status page.

  • Fix an issue where a shared storage in a cluster was counted multiple times toward the storage capacity calculations (issue 7135).

  • Allow refreshing remote tasks in the task viewer.

  • Use the IEC standard for showing drive space.

  • Improve adding permissions by listing ACL paths for specific resources and views as well.

  • Fix an issue that would prematurely log out users right after a fresh login.

  • Fix an issue that would clear filter value fields when editing an existing view.

  • Allow showing views even if they contain unknown widgets, which can happen during updates.

  • Force a refresh after a view was edited to load potentially missing data immediately.

  • Add a message to the top entities widget when it is empty, explaining why nothing can be displayed.

  • Show an explanatory message when a view is empty.

  • Names of views are now validated in the UI.

  • Improve the subscription key pool experience: validate keys when adding them, allow per-row key overrides and row deselection in the Auto-Assign proposal, surface errors when removing a key fails, and filter the node status tree by status.

  • When migrating a guest to a new cluster, query the remote cluster for its next free VMID and use it to pre-fill the migration dialog.

  • Properly handle the OpenID redirection authorization, improving compatibility with certain OpenID providers, for example Google (issue 7290).

  • Allow the UI to render the add-user dialog properly depending on the realm.

  • Avoid an issue that prevented users from being edited when the "expire" field was set.

  • Use a password field for the OpenID client key field.

  • Allow changing an LDAP realm to use anonymous search.

  • Allow a realm sync dialog to be submitted even if the default values were not changed.

  • Improve and extend UI routing to include tabs in a Proxmox VE remote panel and avoid unnecessary history entries.

  • Improve the experience when refreshing remote update and subscription status by disabling buttons and showing a loading bar.

  • Disable the datastore content view and show an appropriate message if the datastore is in the 'offline' maintenance mode.

  • Fix a flaw where an attacker could manipulate a panic display to run arbitrary code in a user's browser context.

  • Harden the Markdown viewer's HTML sanitizer by also encoding the 'base' tag and fixing tag-name comparisons that previously did not match uppercase variants.

  • Improved and updated translations for many languages, including:

    • Arabic

    • Brazilian Portuguese

    • Croatian

    • Czech

    • French

    • German

    • Hungarian

    • Italian

    • Japanese

    • Korean

    • Polish

    • Russian

    • Simplified Chinese

    • Spanish

    • Swedish

    • Traditional Chinese

    • Turkish

    • Ukrainian

Resource Management

  • Allow Proxmox Datacenter Manager to serve answer files for automated installations.

    Installations can be tracked through Proxmox Datacenter Manager.

    Options for the automated installation can be managed through the web interface.

    An additional token system lets new installations authenticate against Proxmox Datacenter Manager, improving security.

    Prepared answers can optionally carry a Proxmox subscription key, so a new node registers its subscription automatically on first boot.

  • When migrating a resource without a specific target endpoint across clusters, Proxmox Datacenter Manager now prefers hosts that are known to be reachable.

    Previously the first configured host of the target cluster was chosen.

  • Add a tab panel for tasks in the Proxmox Backup Server remote panel.

  • Take the first step toward central guest management: list and operate on QEMU and LXC guests across connected remotes from a single panel, manage their snapshots centrally, and resume paused or suspended QEMU guests. See the highlights section for details.

Remotes Management

  • Proxmox Datacenter Manager can now manage subscriptions for connected remotes.

    This allows administrators to configure a centrally managed pool of subscriptions.

    Subscriptions can be applied to and cleared from a remote via the web interface.

    Subsequent fixes ensure that key removal tolerates a corrupt shadow file and finishes the authoritative pool config removal first.

  • Allow monitoring Ceph clusters on connected hyper-converged Proxmox VE remotes.

    A new panel tells the status of multiple Ceph clusters at a glance.

    Further details such as the current health status, capacity, performance, and the status of monitors, managers, OSDs or flags can be inspected.

  • Re-probe and re-pin a remote's TLS certificate from the UI or CLI after a certificate rotation, instead of having to remove and re-add the remote.

    A new dialog re-probes the configured nodes, lets the operator accept the new fingerprint per node or clear the stored pin, and applies the changes as a single batch.

    This is a stop-gap until all Proxmox products support staged certificate rotation.

  • Add proper support for different realm types when adding Proxmox Backup Server remotes.

  • Allow removing the token generated for Proxmox Datacenter Manager when removing a remote (issue 6914).

  • Properly drop remotes from the cache if they have vanished (issue 7120).

    This fixes an issue where a node could be removed from the cluster but still show up in Proxmox Datacenter Manager.

  • When querying the snapshots of a datastore fails, more appropriate error messages are now passed through.

Backend Improvements

  • Allow querying Proxmox Datacenter Manager host metrics.

  • Return global CPU, memory and storage statistics when querying the status of a resource.

  • Add an API endpoint for refreshing the task cache for a single remote or all remotes.

  • Add support for OpenID audiences (issue 5076).

    This is required to support certain OpenID providers like Zitadel.

  • Fix a bug that prevented users from an OpenID realm from being added manually (issue 7182).

  • Ensure that freshly fetched subscription data is returned when the max_age parameter is set to 0.

  • Add better ACME support for servers returning status code 204 when requesting a nonce (issue 6939).

  • Rework the resource, subscription and remote-update caches onto a shared, persistent key-value store, making the cached data self-healing and more consistent across these subsystems.

  • Move the views API handlers into the proxy process and tighten their schema and error messages, including a clearer error for view layouts that contain unknown widgets.

  • Relax the privilege required to list certificate information from Modify to Audit, allowing read-only access to certificate state without granting modification rights.

  • The backend package now recommends ifupdown2.

  • Querying the host's certificate information is now permitted for any logged-in user.

Command Line Interface Enhancements

  • Allow managing guest snapshots via the CLI.

  • Add a sub-command to query the support status of a Proxmox Datacenter Manager host and include it in the system report.

  • Allow managing ACME settings through the proxmox-datacenter-manager-admin CLI (issue 7179).

  • Allow specifying the target ID when migrating a VM or container between Proxmox VE remotes via the CLI.

  • Improve CLI completion in bash.

  • Allow (re-)probing and managing the fingerprint of remotes via the CLI.

  • Fix an issue that prevented zsh completions from being generated properly.

  • Improve FIDO authenticator support when multiple devices are connected via the CLI client.

Known Issues & Breaking Changes

  • Removed the /nodes/localhost/rrdata API handler. The impact should be minimal, as it always failed previously.

Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0

Released 04. December 2025

  • Based on Debian Trixie (13.2)

  • Latest 6.17.2-2 Kernel as stable default

  • ZFS 2.3.4

Features (Highlights)

  • First stable release.

  • Add Support for Proxmox Backup Server.

    Allows managing Proxmox Backup Server remotes similarly to Proxmox VE remotes.

    An overview shows the contents of different datastores alongside RRD graphs.

    The dashboard now includes metrics from Proxmox Backup Server remotes in its widgets.

  • Custom Views allow creating custom overviews of all remotes.

    Views allow providing an overview similar to the dashboard but with custom layouts and filters.

    The data a view has access to can be filtered by remotes, resources, resource type, or tags.

    Users can be granted access to specific views without granting them access to the underlying remotes or resources directly.

  • Add support for accessing a remote's shell.

    With the release of Proxmox VE 9.1 and Proxmox Backup Server 4.1, API tokens can now request shell access.

    Proxmox Datacenter Manager leverages this capability to allow accessing shells of supported remotes through one unified control plane.

  • Global package repository and pending updates status.

    A new panel offers an overview of the status of all package repositories and available updates from remotes.

    Updates can be applied from within Proxmox Datacenter Manager by leveraging the new remote shell features.

  • Improved authentication functionality allows easier user management.

    Proxmox Datacenter Manager now supports LDAP, Active Directory and OpenID Connect realms for authentication.

    Tokens allow granting more fine-grained access to other applications that want to use the API.

    • German

    • Italian

    • Japanese

    • Korean

    • Polish

    • Spanish

    • Swedish

    • Traditional Chinese

    • Ukrainian

Resource Management

  • Remote shells for Proxmox VE and Proxmox Datacenter Manager can be accessed directly from the UI.

    Proxmox VE remotes make this shell available through a new tab in a node's details panel.

    For Proxmox Backup Server remotes, a button was added in the top bar of the overview to open a new window with the shell.

  • A new panel shows hardware and options configuration for Proxmox VE remote's guests.

  • Make search terms case-insensitive.

  • Allow searching for resources by remote type.

  • Extend matching to properties of resources.

  • Fix an issue that needlessly kept polling the API when users were logged out.

    This could trigger a bug where users were instantly logged out again after a fresh login.

  • Show VMs and CTs overviews in a tab panel for Proxmox VE remotes.

Remotes Management

  • Proxmox Backup Server remotes can now be added similarly to Proxmox VE remotes.

    A wizard can be used to add new Proxmox Backup Server remotes.

    This includes the ability to inspect the TLS certificate of the remote from within the wizard, enabling trust-on-first-use.

    An overview panel shows the status of a datastore, such as usage and I/O information, and its contents as a tree of backup snapshots.

    The content of datastores can be inspected, including namespaces and backup snapshots they contain.

    The dashboard has also been improved to include new functionality for Proxmox Backup Server remotes:

    • Proxmox Backup Server remotes can be added directly from the dashboard.

    • The status of all Proxmox Backup Server remotes can be inspected from a dedicated panel.

    • A new panel shows datastores and their statistics.

  • Implement a view that displays a global overview of all available updates for all remotes.

    This includes version information as well as repository status information.

  • Add an update panel for Proxmox Backup Server remotes.

  • The subscription status endpoint now marks clusters with nodes that all have an unknown subscription status as "unknown" instead of "mixed" subscription status.

  • Top entities now include Proxmox Backup Server remotes.

  • Show more status information on Proxmox VE nodes in the node overview panel.

Firewall and Software Defined Network

  • Add basic support to gather information on a Proxmox VE remote's firewall setup.

    An overview panel shows which remote nodes and remote guests have an active firewall and how many rules are enabled.

    Detailed rules can be inspected by selecting an entity from the overview panel.

  • The IP-VRF and MAC-VRF of a EVPN VNet can now be queried.

  • Show the status of an IP-VRF and MAC-VRF in new panels in the EVPN panel.

  • Show unknown zones if there are any.

  • Show fabrics on Proxmox VE remotes in addition to zones.

  • Show SDN zones with pending changes as status “pending” instead of “unknown”.

Backend Improvements

  • Allow filtering API responses based on a view parameter.

    A view can filter the results of an API endpoint based on resource ID, resource pool, resource type, remote, and tags.

    By granting a user permissions to a view, users can query an API endpoint based on the view's filter regardless of their own permissions.

    Currently, views can be used when listing resources, querying top entities, status of resources, subscription status of remotes, and remote tasks.

  • Add endpoints that allow proxying a remote's shell via a web socket.

  • The type of remote UPID can be inferred by the client instead of having to be explicitly specified.

  • Add a command for getting all remote subscriptions to proxmox-datacenter-manager-admin.

  • A new sub-command to show the subscription status of all remotes was added.

  • Fix a bug that prevented the proxmox-datacenter-manager-admin to function as intended.

Documentation and Support for Troubleshooting

  • Add initial Proxmox Datacenter Manager documentation.

  • Add a system report to make supporting Proxmox Datacenter Manager setups easier.

  • Include an API viewer.

Known Issues & Breaking Changes

  • The API was restructured:

    • Endpoints under /remotes/{id} were moved to /remotes/remote/{id}.

    • API Endpoints for remote-tasks, remote-update, and metrics-collection were moved under /remotes.

  • Some API endpoints will now correctly return 403 Forbidden error codes when a user has insufficient permissions instead of 401 Unauthorized.

    API users relying on the previous erroneous return code may break. Affected are the following endpoints:

    • POST /api2/json/pve/remotes/remote/{remote}/lxc/{vmid}/remote-migrate

    • GET /api2/json/pve/remotes/remote/{remote}/resources

    • GET /api2/json/pve/remotes/remote/{remote}/lxc

    • GET /api2/json/pve/remotes/remote/{remote}/qemu

    • POST /api2/json/pve/remotes/remote/{remote}/qemu/{vmid}/remote-migrate

    • GET /api2/json/resources/list

    • GET /api2/json/resources/status

  • Some Alpha releases did not ship with the new HttpOnly authentication flow, API users that relied on it may need to adapt.

    Ideally new API users would be switched to use tokens wherever possible.

  • A minimum password length of eight characters is now enforced on users of the “pdm” realm.

  • Move the file storing the LDAP password from /etc/proxmox-datacenter-manager/ldap_passwords.json to /etc/proxmox-datacenter-manager/access/ldap-passwords.json

  • Route to correct panels when navigating between components.

  • Allow filtering tasks in the task list by remote.

  • Show the remote tasks when selecting the root node of the resource tree for a Proxmox VE remote.

  • Allow navigating to an SDN zone and SDN panel of a remote from the zone tree overview.

  • Show failed tasks only in task summary.

  • Add support for initial translations:

    • Arabic

    • Bulgarian

    • Catalan

    • Chinese (Simplified)

    • Chinese (Traditional)

    • Croatian

Remotes Management

  • Enable Proxmox Backup Server Integration, CLI only for now.

  • Enable connection tracking when live migrating VMs on remotes.

    Whether connection tracking actually persists after migration also depends on the environment and especially on whether third party firewalls are used.

  • Enable trust on first use (TOFU) prompts when adding remotes.

  • Include templates in status counts.

  • Add an API endpoint that allows querying updates and changelogs from remotes.

  • Add the API infrastructure for the initial Software Defined Networking integration.

Backend Improvements

  • Improve robustness of incoming connection handling.

  • Improve size requirements and performance for remote tasks cache.

  • More intelligently query remote tasks.

  • Fix an issue where the ACME configuration would not be constructed properly for the default account.

  • Collect metrics from remotes concurrently to improve performance.

  • Persist metric collection state after a run to allow reusing it after a daemon restart.

    This should allow more efficient metric collection runs after restarts.

  • Metrics that should have been collected already, but were not due to collection timing changes, will now be collected.

  • Keep track of the time it took to collect metrics from each single remote and all remotes together.

    This provides better insights into the performance of metric collection runs.

  • Add an API endpoint to trigger metric collection.

  • Trigger immediate metric collection when a remote is added.

  • When a metric collection task is delayed skip it instead of triggering it quicker.

  • Add a more complex filter and search syntax inspired by Elasticsearch and GitHub query language.

  • When querying the remote task list treat a limit of “0” as unbounded and return the entire list.

  • Allow filtering remote tasks by remote.

  • Add an API endpoint that allows querying remote task statistics.

  • Add API endpoints for querying Proxmox VE storage's RRD data and status.

  • Add a resource-type parameter to the resources API endpoints.

    This allows more efficient filtering when querying the API for tasks and resource statuses.

  • Don't match templates when searching by remote.

  • Improve search when searching by remotes.

    For example, searching for all VMs of a specific remote is now possible.

  • When encountering an error, return the root cause not the top level error when fetching remotes.

    This makes the reported error messages more specific.

Command Line Interface Enhancements

  • Allow query the status and RRD data from remotes via proxmox-datacenter-manager-client.

  • Add an upgrade checking script (pdmAtoB) to make upgrades more seamless.

  • The utility proxmox-datacenter-manager-admin can now display the currently running version.

Miscellaneous Improvements

  • Log an error when a task to query remote tasks fails instead of cancelling all tasks.

  • Fix the order filters are applied when requesting a filtered task list.

  • Use the new deb822 format for package repositories.

  • Add a CLI command to allow querying the metric collection status and triggering a metric collection run.

  • Handle a missing journal file error more gracefully when querying the task list.

Known Issues & Breaking Changes

  • The API endpoint for listing realms was changed from a POST to a GET request.

Proxmox Datacenter Manager 0.1 ALPHA

Released 19. December 2024

  • Based on Debian Bookworm (12.8)

  • Latest 6.8.12-5 Kernel as stable default

  • Newer 6.11 Kernel as opt-in

  • ZFS: 2.2.6 (with compatibility patches for Kernel 6.11)

Features (Highlights)

  • Connect to and view any number of independent nodes or clusters ("Datacenters")

  • View the basic resource usage of all nodes and their guests.

    Saves and caches the list of resources (mainly guests and storage) and their usage metrics to provide a quick overview of all resources and the last-seen state for offline/unresponsive ones.

  • Basic management of the resources: shutdown, reboot, start, …

    For more complex management tasks, it provides a direct link to the full web interface of Proxmox VE/Proxmox Backup Server/…

  • Remote migration of virtual guests between different datacenters.

  • Support for the standard Proxmox feature set including complex Multi-Factor Authentication or ACME/Let's Encrypt from the beginning.
