About Our Team

We are a fan-run website about Proxmox VE. Proxmox-ve.org is independent and is not owned, operated, sponsored, approved, or supported by Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH. Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here only to identify the subject of our editorial work.

Why we created this resource

Virtualization joins many disciplines: compute, Linux administration, storage, networking, security, backup, and business continuity. Official manuals are essential when an administrator needs exact commands or version-specific behavior, but readers also benefit from explanations that connect a technical feature to the operational decision behind it. We created this site to make those connections easier to understand.

Who works on the site

Our editorial team brings together experience in systems administration, technical writing, infrastructure support, and information security. Writers turn real operational questions into structured articles. Reviewers check that terminology is consistent and that advice distinguishes a useful principle from a configuration that depends on a particular environment. Editors then remove unnecessary jargon and make each page easier to scan.

How we prepare a guide

Every article begins with a focused question, such as how to plan cluster capacity, separate backup from snapshots, choose a storage approach, or troubleshoot a performance symptom. We consult public documentation and established infrastructure practices, map the dependencies involved, and write an original explanation. Before publication, we check headings, internal links, metadata, clarity, and whether the text states its limits.

We favor durable principles over copied command lists. Keeping management access private, testing restoration, preserving capacity for a failed node, assigning least privilege, and recording a known-good baseline remain useful even as interfaces change. Exact syntax, hardware support, repository configuration, and upgrade paths should always be verified against the official documentation for the installed release.

Independence and reader safety

We do not host installation images, subscription keys, enterprise repository credentials, backup archives, or configuration bundles. We cannot open official support cases, recover accounts, validate a production design, or act on behalf of the Proxmox project. The contact form on this page is for editorial comments and does not create a ticket with Proxmox or with a reader's IT provider.

Readers should never send passwords, API tokens, private keys, full logs, customer data, or unredacted network diagrams through this form. A suspected breach, data-loss event, or production outage belongs in the incident process of the responsible organization and, where applicable, an authorized support channel.

Our editorial commitment

Our goal is original, readable, technically grounded content that helps people ask better questions before changing infrastructure. We correct clear errors, revise pages when a concept becomes outdated, and disclose our unofficial status throughout the site. We do not pretend that one platform removes the need for architecture, monitoring, documentation, backups, or skilled operations.

Useful feedback includes a broken link, an unclear paragraph, a term that needs definition, or a topic that deserves a future guide. We review these observations as an editorial team and update the site when a change improves accuracy or understanding.
