Grouping
Easily organize and control your Proxmox VMs with affinity and anti-affinity groups, using unique tags to keep workloads together or separate across nodes.
Flexible Balancing
ProxLB intelligently balances your Proxmox cluster by selected balancing patterns, optimizing performance, preventing overload, and reducing costs.
Secure
No SSH or extra authentication needed! ProxLB works entirely through Proxmox's API, leveraging its built-in user management and token-based authorization.
ProxLB is a pleasure
ProxLB fits your needs and runs when you really need it! You can run it as a one-shot, just to make sure everything gets rebalanced in your desired way once but you can also run it periodically. The systemd unit file ensures to always cover your need.
