PegaProx is a completely free and open-source solution that serves as a centralized management console for your virtualization infrastructures. It is primarily designed for Proxmox VE (with support for XCP-ng currently under development).
It can be compared to what vCenter is for VMware: a single, modern graphical interface to manage your entire infrastructure.
¶ 📌 Main features
¶ 🖥️ Multi-cluster management and unified dashboard
No need to switch between different Proxmox interfaces anymore. PegaProx groups all your clusters and isolated nodes in one place. A global dashboard displays real-time CPU, RAM, storage, and network usage across your entire infrastructure.
¶ 🔄 Advanced migrations (cross-cluster and VMware)
- Cross-cluster migration: Move your virtual machines (VMs) live from one Proxmox cluster to another, without any service interruption.
- Migration from VMware ESXi: Includes built-in tools to easily import and convert your ESXi VMs to Proxmox VE with minimal downtime.
¶ ⚖️ Load balancing (ProxLB) and high availability
- Automatic balancing: The system monitors node health and can automatically distribute workloads across your different servers.
- High Availability (HA): Supports automatic failover, even for smaller infrastructures (such as 2-node clusters).
¶ 💾 Storage, backup, and VM lifecycle management
- Full management of VMs and containers (creation, snapshots, clones, power management).
- Management of Ceph distributed storage pools.
- Integration and management of Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) instances.
¶ 🔐 Security, roles, and enterprise authentication
- SSO and identity: Compatible with LDAP / Active Directory and OIDC protocols (Keycloak, Authentik, Google, Microsoft, etc.).
- Fine-grained permissions (RBAC): Precise management of permissions by user, group, or resource.
- Audit log: Complete history of actions performed on the platform for full traceability.
- Modern interface: A smooth, fast, and polished user interface.
- Centralization: Perfect as soon as you manage more than one cluster or multiple independent hypervisors.
- Free and open alternative: Brings the management comfort of proprietary solutions (like VMware vCenter) but with 100% open-source tools.
