Okay, I just ran into a similar issue which re-prioritized it higher for me to implement... But hey, here it is! You can now also use ACME with any other ACME compatible CAs rather than just Let's Encrypt. In this example, you can see it with my own Certificate Authority (CA) "gyptazy open-source solutions", which is operated by StepCA.

I'm really happy to see how PegaProx becomes better and better every day... Over Easter, several new cool features took place!

Custom ACME Integration in PegaProx with gyptazy open-source solutions CA example

For real, many people asked me for their smaller and mid-sized environments, how to handle remote syslog of their nodes. I had some ideas (some of you may have already found my Rust interpretation of this) but I think having this included in #PegaProx as a centralized management interface makes more sense.

So, PegaProx comes with an own syslog server (ipv4/ipv6, udp/tcp, encrypted/unencrypted support) and is wired to the interface within the resources tab. Providing a quick overview of all your logs and filter options. The next thing is wiring it to the notification system of PegaProx, allowing automated alerting. Might be nice to quickly identify when the quorum got lost - all built-in into PegaProx!

Galilee, Japan. JJ: "I know all this nwe technology is frightening. I do! And it is true that some of it exists only to exploit you! But all of it can be made to serve you! Despite what the big tech priests lead you to believe, you do not need them or their services. They will do everything to stop you from realizing this truth. Japanese Peter: "Who is this kid?" Japanese John: "That's JJ, man. He's the son of the machine in the sky. He's gonna teach us how to run free software." JJ: "A war for your soul has already begun. Follow me and I will show you how to fight back."

The feedback was honestly amazing. Many were impressed by how PegaProx brings essential enterprise grade features to Proxmox clusters that are still missing today. We can clearly see the gaps that were fixed by #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxPatch and many other ones! Keep in mind, PegaProx is free and fully #opensource!

That said, we know there's always room for improvement. Whether it is major enhancements or small quality of life tweaks, every detail matters. Over the weekend, I took your feedback from the calls seriously and integrated a number of improvements to make PegaProx even more intuitive and powerful.

Your input drives this project forward. If you feel something is missing or could be improved, let us know!

PS: Pegaprox also support #XCP (#XCPng) ans corss-cluster / cross-hypervisor migrations. So, you can quickly jump over to XCP 🙂

PegaProx Web-Frontend as a multi-cluster Proxmox manager with Enterprise features

Finally, I managed to install and configure a graphical environment directly during a #FreeBSD installation session 🎉

Most of the friction was around GPU drivers, but the feedback and suggestions I received were incredibly helpful. A lot of people want to use FreeBSD on their laptops and desktops, and that really shows.

For now, the goal was to provide a simple option to install #KDE Plasma. If there’s interest and more requests, we can definitely expand this in the future with additional desktop environments and options.

Special thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for their support 🙌
