Platform compatibility
Proxmox VE 8 vs 9 Compatibility
Operational guidance and real-world considerations when running VMNexor on Proxmox VE 8 and Proxmox VE 9 environments.
VMNexor documentation is actively evolving. Some features, wording, and screenshots may change during beta.
Real-world validation matters
Production provisioning behaviour can differ between Proxmox versions, storage configurations and template workflows.
General compatibility overview
VMNexor provisioning workflows are designed around modern Proxmox VE environments with production-oriented provisioning and infrastructure automation support.
- Proxmox VE 8 support
- Proxmox VE 9 validation testing
- Cluster-aware provisioning workflows
- Template-based provisioning
- Cloud-init and Cloudbase-Init support
Proxmox 9 provisioning considerations
During testing, VM cloning and provisioning workflows functioned successfully on Proxmox VE 9 environments, although some operational differences were observed.
- Template cloning workflows validated successfully
- Provisioning lifecycle generally functioned correctly
- Some qcow2 resize operations behaved differently
- Storage backend behaviour may vary
- Production validation is recommended before deployment
Disk resize behaviour
Storage operations may behave differently between Proxmox versions and storage backends.
- qcow2 expansion timing may vary
- Large resize operations may require additional validation
- Template sizing strategy matters
- Storage latency impacts provisioning behaviour
- Always validate resize behaviour before production rollout
Template compatibility
Template reliability remains more important than the Proxmox version itself.
- Validate Linux templates independently
- Validate Windows templates independently
- Confirm cloud-init behaviour
- Confirm Cloudbase-Init behaviour
- Test reinstall workflows repeatedly
Production recommendations
Providers should validate infrastructure workflows carefully before public deployment.
- Test provisioning repeatedly
- Validate storage workflows
- Validate networking behaviour
- Confirm console workflows
- Monitor provisioning timings
- Validate rollback and recovery procedures
Operational testing checklist
- Provision Linux guests successfully
- Provision Windows guests successfully
- Validate guest agent behaviour
- Validate resize operations
- Validate reboot persistence
- Validate reinstall automation
- Validate multi-node provisioning
