What is Proxmox VE?

Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) is a powerful and flexible open-source virtualization platform that allows you to manage virtual machines and containers through a single web interface. Proxmox VE is based on the Debian GNU/Linux operating system and uses the KVM hypervisor for full virtualization and LXC for lightweight containerization. Its key advantage is versatility and ease of management, making it a popular choice for both home labs and small to medium-sized businesses.
