WHAT IS IT?
ProxCenter is a web interface positioning itself as an open source alternative to VMware vCenter, but for Proxmox. You connect multiple Proxmox VE clusters and Proxmox Backup Servers, and drive the whole stack from a single dashboard. No more tab-switching between PVE UIs, no more homemade scripts to aggregate state across a distributed infrastructure.
WHY IS IT INTERESTING?
- Multi-cluster single pane: every PVE node and PBS instance in one UI, with VMs, containers, resources and backups consolidated
- Cross-hypervisor migration: move a VM from one cluster to another without resorting to a hacky script or manual export/import
- Workload balancing (DRS): the Enterprise edition ships an orchestrator that spreads workloads based on actual node load
- Simple deployment: one docker-compose, one port (3000), optional Nginx for reverse proxy, and you're up
- AGPL Community edition: free for personal and commercial use, source available, support through GitHub
USE CASES
- Homelab running several Proxmox clusters you want to supervise without juggling tabs
- MSP or hoster managing Proxmox for multiple clients who needs an aggregated view
- Gradual migration from VMware while keeping a UX close to vCenter
- Centralizing PBS instances to check backup health across the whole infrastructure at a glance
