#ProxLB 1.1.11 for #Proxmox clusters introduces many new features and now fully aligns with Proxmox’s native HA rules.
ProxLB 1.1.11 was released, focusing on deeper integration and smarter balancing for Proxmox VE clusters. This version introduces a beta integration with Proxmox’s native HA and affinity/anti-affinity rules (please report any kind of bugs!), allowing ProxLB to work seamlessly with existing placement constraints instead of duplicating them.
The balancing behavior has also been improved: operators can now prefer smaller or larger VMs during placement, and node memory reservations are respected to reduce overcommitment.
Overall, 1.1.11 makes ProxLB more predictable, safer, and better suited for production use, while paving the way for future HA-aware scheduling improvements.

#ProxLB start supporting #Proxmox's native HA rules (affinity/anti-affinity) with release 1.1.11.
This way, you can simply use the built-in rules via the interface, but still use enhanced rules via ProxLB by tags or pools (even for non HA VMs/CTs). This feature was already requested a long time ago and get's now streamlined over all ways, ensuring we can balance our VMs (and CTs) across the nodes with and even without any configured HA objects - fully flexible to your needs!
Requirements:
* Proxmox 9.x
* ProxLB 1.1.11
Version 1.1.11 is expected to be released by the end of this or within the upcoming week; depending on my spare time.
PS: Keep in mind, tomorrow starts our "Virtualization Gathering" at @credativde@mastodon.social and I'm providing a talk about my @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe project where I tell you a bit more about the infrastrucutre/hypervisors (due to the limited time only very high level)! Feel free to join, it's free!

I just released #ProxLB 1.1.10 for#Proxmox clusters!
This release mainly focuses on stability and smoother usage, especially for everyone who's still running Proxmox VE 8.x. This update helps avoid a few pitfalls that only show up on PVE 8 and makes the overall experience more predictable.
The release was a bit delayed because I moved everything to a brand-new infrastructure, which now provides more bandwidth for the Docker/Container registry, the Debian repo, and the upcoming runners that will handle automated security-update integration for ProxLB.
Changelog highlights:
• Prevent redundant rebalancing when affinity enforcement is already in place (#335)
• Add a safety-guard for PVE 8 users when enabling conntrack-aware migrations (#359)
• Fix false-positive API timeout logs (#361)
• Refactor and improve the API connection logic (#361)
• Fix a crash when resource-pool members miss a name property (#368)

I get more & more mails from people who are happily using my #ProxLB (a loadbalancer for Proxmox) - feel free to leave me a note (if you like, even with some more details). This way, I can better understand the needs of the user base.

#ProxLB - A loadbalancer for Proxmox clusters!
The Prox Load Balancer (ProxLB) helps you to rebalance your Container and VM workloads across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster. It is similar to VMware's DRS (Dynamic Resource Scheduler) which allows you to balance your cluster by memory, CPU or local storage usage to ensure an equal distribution within the cluster. With affinity & anti-affinity groups you can also create groups where objects should be moved to a different groups as a whole unit or even forbid to be scheduled on the same node (e.g. HA setups).
