Proxmox VE Training: Master Open-Source Virtualization

This Proxmox VE training teaches you everything needed to deploy and manage enterprise virtualization using the leading open-source platform. Proxmox VE is completely free to use with all features, making it the perfect VMware alternative.

What exactly is Proxmox VE? Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete open-source server virtualization management platform. The Proxmox VE hypervisor combines KVM for full virtualization and LXC for lightweight containers on a single platform. It includes a web-based management interface, clustering, high availability, and software-defined networking.

This course covers Proxmox VE version 8.x and 9.x, based on Debian GNU/Linux with a modified Ubuntu LTS kernel. You’ll learn how to install Proxmox VE on bare metal, configure networking including the default Proxmox VE port 8006 for web access, and manage your virtual infrastructure.

The current Proxmox VE 8.4 release includes QEMU 9.2, LXC 6.0, ZFS 2.2, and Ceph Squid support. Features include live migration with NVIDIA vGPU support, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and VMware migration wizard for OVA/OVF import.

We’ll also cover the popular Proxmox VE helper scripts from the community-scripts project. These Proxmox VE scripts automate common tasks like container deployment, system configuration, and application installation. With over 400 scripts available, they simplify Proxmox VE management significantly.
