Highlights of Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0

Proxmox Datacenter Manager delivers a set of core functions specifically designed for managing complex, enterprise-grade environments:

• Centralized overview and metrics aggregation: Users can connect multiple Proxmox “remotes” (nodes and clusters) and gain a real-time, consolidated overview from a single dashboard. The consolidated dashboard displays the global health status of all Proxmox VE clusters and Proxmox Backup Server instances. It aggregates critical resource usage, including CPU, RAM, and storage I/O, and provides an immediate view of critical key performance indicators (KPIs) and performance metrics to identify bottlenecks and potential issues early on. Data is cached locally, maintaining offline visibility of the last known state.
• Dynamic, role-based custom views: With customizable dashboards, IT teams can create highly filtered, targeted overviews based on specific remotes, resource types, or operational tags. Crucially, the Proxmox Datacenter Manager leverages its native role-based access control (RBAC) to grant users access to these tailored views without providing direct access to the underlying virtual machines or hosts. This functionality ensures granular permission management and delivers need-to-know transparency across diverse teams and multi-tenant environments.
• Multi-cluster management: Seamlessly connect to and manage independent Proxmox-based clusters and standalone nodes.
• Cross-cluster live migration: One of the most prominent features is the capability for the live migration of VMs between different clusters. This empowers administrators to perform responsive load shifts and maintenance work without downtime.
• Basic VM & container life-cycle management for virtual infrastructure: Routine administrative tasks such as starting, stopping, or configuring VMs, containers, and storage resources can be executed directly from the central interface. Further, with the included native Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Proxmox Datacenter Manager allows to precisely manage user permissions and centralize task histories and logs to simplify auditing and meeting compliance requirements.
• Powerful search functionality: Version 1.0 comes with a highly intuitive and powerful search functionality. Inspired by query languages like those used in Elasticsearch and GitHub, administrators can instantly filter and locate resources. Data can be filtered by resource type (remote, VM, container), status (stopped, running, etc.) or by custom tags, therefore ensuring that even in infrastructures managing thousands of virtual guests, critical resources and diagnostic data are found with unprecedented speed and precision.
• Centralized SDN capabilities (EVPN): The platform features support for Software-Defined Networking (SDN), enabling the configuration of EVPN zones and VNets across multiple remotes from a single interface, simplifying complex network overlays and network administration in highly scaled environments.
• Centralized update management: Proxmox Datacenter Manager introduces a central Update Management Panel that gives administrators an instant overview of all available updates across their entire Proxmox VE and Proxmox Backup Server infrastructure. Updates can be rolled out directly from the Datacenter Manager interface, simplifying patch management and strengthening the overall security posture. In addition, Datacenter Manager provides unified, secure shell access to all managed remotes from a single console.
• Open-source software stack: Proxmox Datacenter Manager is based on Debian 13.2 “Trixie”, uses a newer Linux kernel version 6.17 as stable default, and includes ZFS 2.3. Furthermore, its core software stack is written in the high-performance Rust programming language, with a responsive user interface built upon the new Rust/Yew Proxmox UI framework, delivering enhanced speed and an optimal user experience.

"The modern infrastructure landscape demands adaptability, from data centers to edge locations. Organizations need tools that evolve alongside their business. Proxmox Datacenter Manager is designed as a key building block within our expanding ecosystem, empowering customers with the right solution for every stage of their journey", says Tim Marx, COO at Proxmox. "By choosing the Proxmox ecosystem, organizations unlock a wide range of deployment options. From high-performance setups at hyperscalers to distributed branch offices that maintain data sovereignty. Our consistent commitment to openness ensures long-term interoperability and real freedom of choice for customers and partners."

Availability

Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0 is immediately available for download. Users can obtain a complete installation image via ISO download, which contains the full feature-set of the solution and can be installed quickly on bare-metal systems using an intuitive installation wizard.

Seamless distribution upgrades from older versions of Proxmox Datacenter Manager are possible using the standard APT package management system. Furthermore, it is also possible to install Proxmox Datacenter Manager on top of an existing Debian installation. As Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), the entire solution is published under the GNU AGPLv3.

For enterprise users, Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH offers professional support through subscription plans. A subscription provides access to the stable Enterprise Repository with timely updates via the web interface, as well as to certified technical support and is recommended for production use. Customers with active Enterprise Support for their Proxmox remotes also gain access to Proxmox Datacenter Manager updates and support.

Home Assistant 2025.12! 🎄

As the year winds down and the holidays approach, we’re closing out 2025 with a release that’s all about giving you more control and a little bit of magic. ✨

This month, we’re unveiling Home Assistant Labs, a brand-new space where you can preview features before they go mainstream. And what better way to kick it off than with Winter mode? ❄️ Enable it and watch snowflakes drift across your dashboard. It’s completely unnecessary, utterly delightful, and exactly the kind of thing we love to build. ❄️

But that’s just the beginning. We’ve been working on making automationsAutomations in Home Assistant allow you to automatically respond to things that happen in and around your home. [Learn more] more intuitive over the past releases, and this release finally delivers purpose-specific triggers and conditions. Instead of thinking in (numeric) states, you can now simply say “When a light turns on” or “If the climate is heating”. It’s automation building the way our mind works, as it should be. 🧠

Oh, and if you’re looking to level up your Zigbee or Thread network, check out the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 we released last month. It’s four times faster and has a gorgeous new antenna design that you’ll actually want to display on your desk. 📡

From all of us working on Home Assistant:

Thank you for an amazing 2025! ❤️

Happy holidays, and enjoy the release!

Home Assistant Labs 🧪

When we develop new features for Home Assistant, we often find ourselves in a tricky spot. A feature might be fully built and tested, but we’re not entirely sure if it’s the right fit for everyone just yet. Maybe we want to gather some real-world feedback first, or perhaps we want to see how the community uses it before committing to keeping it around forever.

That’s where Home Assistant Labs comes in! 🧪

Labs is a brand-new place in Home Assistant that gives you a sneak peek at features we’re working on. These are not unfinished experiments or unstable beta features. They are fully functional and tested, but they might change or even disappear based on feedback. We are committed to building in the open, and we want to give more people the choice to hop into the lab with us. By joining us, your feedback will directly help refine these features for the entire community.

The very first preview feature available in Labs is Winter mode ❄️, inspired by a community post on Reddit originally created by u/Possible-Week-5815. Enable it, and watch your Home Assistant interface transform into a winter wonderland with falling snow. A fun way to get into the holiday spirit!

When you enable a preview feature, you can also choose to create a backup first, just to be safe. And if you change your mind? Simply disable it again. No restart required!

Preview features are off by default, and enabling them won’t affect your existing setup. It’s completely optional, so if you prefer to stick with the battle-proven experience, that’s totally fine. But if you’re curious and want to explore what’s coming next, Labs is the place to be.

But what was the first Labs preview feature we put in there? Well, it’s a big one…

Purpose-specific triggers and conditions

Almost two years ago, we released a new automationAutomations in Home Assistant allow you to automatically respond to things that happen in and around your home. [Learn more] editor that unwrapped all our actionsActions are used in several places in Home Assistant. As part of a script or automation, actions define what is going to happen once a trigger is activated. In scripts, an action is called sequence. [Learn more] and made them easier to understand. Instead of a single, obscure “Call service” action, you now see clear options like “Light: Turn on” or “Media Player: Set Volume”.

Ever since, we’ve been wondering: could we do the same for triggersA trigger is a set of values or conditions of a platform that are defined to cause an automation to run. [Learn more] and conditionsConditions are an optional part of an automation that will prevent an action from firing if they are not met. [Learn more]? Instead of relying on technical, state-based options, what if we could offer intuitive alternatives that just make sense? Options like “When a light turns on” or “If a light is on”.

That idea set a two-year plan in motion, and today it’s finally becoming a reality.

Along the way, we discovered something interesting: many of you take a “target-first” approach when building automationsAutomations in Home Assistant allow you to automatically respond to things that happen in and around your home. [Learn more]. You think about what you want to automate (a deviceA device is a model representing a physical or logical unit that contains entities., an entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service. [Learn more], or an areaAn area in Home Assistant is a logical grouping of devices and entities that are meant to match areas (or rooms) in the physical world: your home. For example, the living room area groups devices and entities in your living room. [Learn more]) before thinking about how to automate it (which action to perform or which trigger to use). This release embraces that mindset with a completely new way to build automations.

Purpose-specific triggers and conditions are now provided directly by domainsEach integration in Home Assistant has a unique identifier: The domain. It is often shown as the first part (before the dot) of entity IDs. like Light, Climate, Fan, and others, covering the most common automation use cases.

These new triggers and conditions fully support targeting. This means you can trigger an automation when any light in your living room turns on, without having to list them one by one or create a group beforehand. Targeting an area keeps things simple: it’s always aligned with how your home is organized, and you don’t have to update anything when you add or remove devices.

LabelsLabels in Home Assistant allow grouping elements irrespective of their physical location or type. Labels can be assigned to areas, devices, entities, automations, scenes, scripts, and helpers. Labels can be used in automations and scripts as a target for actions. Labels can also be used to filter data. [Learn more] are supported too! You can now check if any of your Christmas lights are on. Perfect timing for the holidays! 🎄

We’ve also introduced a new way to pick triggers, conditions, and actions that fits this target-first approach. You can navigate your home by floorA floor in Home Assistant is a logical grouping of areas that are meant to match the physical floors in your home. Devices & entities are not assigned to floors but to areas. Floors can be used in automations and scripts as a target for actions. For example, to turn off all the lights on the downstairs floor when you go to bed. [Learn more], then area, then device, and see exactly which options are available for each target. It’s a much more intuitive way to build automationsAutomations in Home Assistant allow you to automatically respond to things that happen in and around your home. [Learn more].

This feature is still being refined, so we’ve made it available as a preview feature in Labs. Head over to Settings > System > Labs to enable it and help us shape the future of automation building!

More dashboard improvements!

We have a lot of dashboard improvements to share in this release! From better default dashboard management to an improved Home dashboard, we have been busy making your Home Assistant experience even better.

Set a system-wide default dashboard

Picking a default dashboard is now a system-level setting that takes effect instantly for all users on your Home Assistant installation. The dashboard you choose will appear at the top of the sidebar, replacing the current default.

But don’t worry, personal preferences still matter! We added a new setting in your User profile where you can override the system default and set your own preferred dashboard.

If you set your phone to one dashboard and your wall tablet to another, they’ll now both revert to the default dashboard. If you want your wall tablet to use a different dashboard than your other devices, we recommend giving it a separate user profile that you can customize however you want.

Reorder areas and floors

When using the built-in dashboard experiences (Home, Lights, Security, and others), one of the main pain points was the strict ordering of areasAn area in Home Assistant is a logical grouping of devices and entities that are meant to match areas (or rooms) in the physical world: your home. For example, the living room area groups devices and entities in your living room. [Learn more] (alphabetically) and floorsA floor in Home Assistant is a logical grouping of areas that are meant to match the physical floors in your home. Devices & entities are not assigned to floors but to areas. Floors can be used in automations and scripts as a target for actions. For example, to turn off all the lights on the downstairs floor when you go to bed. [Learn more] (numerically by level). This often didn’t make sense in a real home, where your guest bathroom shouldn’t appear before your living room, and the attic is rarely more relevant than the main floor.

Now you can go to Settings > Areas, labels & zones and use the new Reorder floors and areas menu to manually drag and drop any area or floor to reorder them. Your changes will instantly apply to all built-in dashboards that show areas and floors.

Experimental dashboards have graduated

With the launch of Labs, we retired the experimental flag from the dashboard creation list. The Home dashboard can now be found in the dashboard list (still not visible by default), and the Areas dashboard has evolved into Home, so we’ve removed it for now. If you’re using the Areas dashboard, it will continue to work; you just won’t be able to create another.

Home dashboard improvements

We added a new sidebar to the Home dashboard that gathers quick access links we think are useful for you. There’s also a nicer area and floor layout that uses space more efficiently. On a more technical level, the Home dashboard is now a proper built-in dashboard and shows up in the dashboard list.

Undo and redo in the dashboard editor

The dashboard editor now includes the undo and redo feature that we added in 2025.10 to the automationAutomations in Home Assistant allow you to automatically respond to things that happen in and around your home.

Power and water in the Energy dashboard

The Energy dashboard has been helping you track your energy and gas usage for years now, and this release brings two great additions: real-time power monitoring and downstream water tracking.

Real-time power monitoring

Until now, the Energy dashboard was all about energy: the cumulative kWh you’ve consumed or produced over time. But sometimes you want to know what’s happening right now. How much power is that appliance actually drawing? Is your solar system producing at this very moment?

With this release, you can now configure power sensors alongside your energy sensors. Track your real-time grid consumption, see how much you’re exporting back to the grid, and watch those watts flow in real-time. The power configuration options now appear alongside energy settings for each source or device, and new power graphs let you see your power consumption throughout the day.

Downstream water meters

The Energy dashboard has been tracking your water consumption for a while now, but it was missing something: the ability to see where all that water is actually going. Just like you can track individual devices for energy consumption, you can now add downstream water meters to break down your water usage.

Got a smart irrigation controller? A water softener with a flow meter? A separate meter for your pool? Now you can track them all and see exactly how your water consumption is distributed across different uses.

There’s also a brand-new water sankey card that visualizes your water flow, just like the energy sankey diagram you already know. It’s a great way to see where your water is going at a glance.

The new water sankey card shows where your water is going at a glance.

New energy layout

To make room for this new functionality, the Energy dashboard has been reorganized. Don’t worry: if you only have energy configured, you’ll still see the same dashboard. But if you add water, gas, or power, the dashboard will be split into several tabs.

Get insight into your AI conversations

Ever played around with AI in Home Assistant and wondered what data is actually being sent?

@balloob upgraded the voice assistant debug interface, and you can now inspect the system prompt that tells the AI how to behave, along with any tool calls it made to generate your answer.

This makes it much easier to figure out why the AI decided to skip over that one entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service. [Learn more], or why it called a specific tool. You can find the debug interface in the voice assistant configuration panel.

Add entities to Android widgets and favorites

If you’re using the Home Assistant Companion app for Android, there’s a handy new feature waiting for you! Starting with app version 2025.11, you can now add entitiesAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service. [Learn more] to widgets and Android Auto favorites directly from the entity’s more info dialog.

With just a few taps, you can:

• Add widgets for quick control of entities right from your home screen
• Set entities as Android Auto favorites, making them quickly accessible in your car

No more deep-diving into app settings! The Add to option appears in the more info dialog with options tailored to the entity you’re viewing. For example, adding a media player widget is only available for media players.

This is a first step in integrating native mobile features directly into the Home Assistant interface. Future releases will expand this with support for creating shortcuts, tiles, and watch favorites.

Thanks for this great addition, @TimoPtr! 🙏
