Proxmox Datacenter Manager, First Look!
Published at : 23 Dec 2025
In this video I am taking a first look at the Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0 (released Early December 2025). I will be setting up a simple Proxmox installation on my LAN consisting of two Virtual Environments , a Backup Server, and the Datacenter manager. I want to compare how management though the Datacenter Manger compares to management of a cluster, which was how I setup my last Porxmox installation over a year ago. Since this is my first go at it, I expect there might be a few bumps ahead.
