<a href="/tags/pegaprox/" rel="tag">#PegaProx</a> as a multi-cluster, node & vm manager for <a href="/tags/proxmox/" rel="tag">#Proxmox</a> based systems is just around the corner!<br><br>PegaProx steps in as a real manager with a feature set that you might already know from enterprise solutions which simplifies and standardizes the management of Proxmox based infrastructures.<br><br>Each capability focuses on reducing operational complexity while giving operators full control over clusters, nodes, storage, and virtual machines like:<br><br><p>Unified Multi Cluster Management<br>Node and Cluster Monitoring<br>User & Group Management<br>Semi-automated Node Security Patch Management<br>Cross Cluster Migration<br>Virtual Machine & Container Management<br>CPU Alignment over Nodes for safe VM live-migrations<br>Intelligent Load Balancing for VMs<br>Intelligent Load Balancing for Storage<br>High Availability and Failover<br>User-, Group- & Tenancy Management<br>And much more...</p>Instead of just providing and visualizing metrics you can finally completely manage the whole stack: Creating VMs, adding storage, maintenances, PVE node patch management, DRS alike balancing by <a href="/tags/proxlb/" rel="tag">#ProxLB</a>, CPU compatibility mode for VMs across all nodes (like <a href="/tags/proxclmc/" rel="tag">#ProxCLMC</a>), Tenant support, API and much more!<br><br>This will become a game changer for Proxmox users - especially in enterprises which adds all the often requested but missing functions!<br><br>You can already find my first insights about it in my blog post: <a href="https://gyptazy.com/blog/pegaprox-real-datacenter-manager-proxmox-clusters/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="gyptazy.com/blog/pegaprox-real-datacenter-manager-proxmox-clusters/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gyptazy.com/blog/pegaprox-real</span><span class="invisible">-datacenter-manager-proxmox-clusters/</span></a><br><br><a href="/tags/pve/" rel="tag">#PVE</a> <a href="/tags/enterprise/" rel="tag">#enterprise</a> <a href="/tags/virtualization/" rel="tag">#virtualization</a> <a href="/tags/management/" rel="tag">#management</a> <a href="/tags/python/" rel="tag">#python</a> <a href="/tags/proxmoxve/" rel="tag">#ProxmoxVE</a> <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#opensource</a> <a href="/tags/proxlb/" rel="tag">#ProxLB</a> <a href="/tags/proxclmc/" rel="tag">#ProxCLMC</a> <a href="/tags/proxsnap/" rel="tag">#ProxSnap</a><br>

<p>Well… today was quite a wet and rainy day. Not a lot of activity here other than blowing the dust off an AX.25 stack I've been working on for a little while. This is written in pure Python and implements both AX.25 and APRS standards, including connected mode. It's shipped as a library to include in your Python (asyncio) applications.</p><p><a href="https://codeberg.org/sjlongland/aioax25/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="codeberg.org/sjlongland/aioax25/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/sjlongland/aioax2</span><span class="invisible">5/</span></a><br><a href="https://github.com/sjlongland/aioax25/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>github.com/sjlongland/aioax25/</a></p><p>I'll probably do a release soon, as I've spent the day refining the API a bit and cleaning up the unit tests. I've finally now got 100% code coverage on this and it's being tested on Python 3.9-3.14.</p><p>One thing I'm considering is some sort of stream socket protocol (TCP, AF_UNIX and maybe websocket) that can be used to expose the functions of the stack to a separate program. Something like the AGWPE protocol in concept — but different as I don't want any legal trouble. I also think the AGWPE protocol is a bit limiting.</p><p><a href="/tags/amateurradio/" rel="tag">#AmateurRadio</a> <a href="/tags/packetradio/" rel="tag">#PacketRadio</a> <a href="/tags/ax25/" rel="tag">#AX25</a> <a href="/tags/aprs/" rel="tag">#APRS</a> <a href="/tags/python/" rel="tag">#Python</a></p>
