v1.1.10

General

I'm happy to announce the new ProxLB release 1.1.10 which improves the overall stability and usage. Especially for user who are still on Proxmox 8.x this might be a welcoming release to make the overall usage a bit easier by avoiding running into any pitfalls which might only work with Proxmox 9.x versions.

This release got a bit delayed by my movement to a completely new infrastructure which now also offers higher bandwidth for the Docker/Container image registry and the Debian repository, as well as for the upcoming runners for the automated security-update integration in ProxLB which requires modifying and re-compiling the upstream Proxmox packages.

Changelog

[1.1.10] - 2025-11-25

Added

• Prevent redundant rebalancing by validating existing affinity enforcement before taking actions (@gyptazy). [#335]
• Add safety-guard for PVE 8 users when activating conntrack-aware migrations mistakenly (@gyptazy). [#359]

Fixed

• Fix the Proxmox API connection validation which returned a false-positive logging message of timeouts (@gyptazy). [#361]
• Refactored Proxmox API connection functions (@gyptazy). [#361]
• Fix a crash during PVE resource pool enumeration by skipping members not having a 'name' property (@stefanoettl). [#368]

v1.1.9.1

[1.1.9.1] - 2025-10-30

General

This is an emergency hotfix release. PVE 8.x users may have encountered issues while installing or upgrading ProxLB on Debian systems, as well as on some systems using "older" Python versions may have thrown runtime errors due to a wrong quoting in f-strings.

Changelog

Fixed

• Fix quoting in f-strings which may cause issues on PVE 8 / Debian Bookworm systems (@gyptazy). [#352]

v1.1.9

[1.1.9] - 2025-10-30

General

I’m happy to announce ProxLB 1.1.9, a feature-focused release that was built entirely around your feedback and the discussions from Dutch Proxmox Day 2025 (hosted by Tuxis (https://tuxis.nl).

This version doesn’t include breaking changes, but instead adds several requested features that make ProxLB more flexible, intelligent, and even better aligned with modern Proxmox VE environments. All improvements in this release are the direct result of community input (I'm always happy to get more feedback and ideas)! Your feedback continues to shape how ProxLB evolves, pushing it further toward a smarter, data-driven load balancing experience for Proxmox clusters.

This release is sponsored by my employer @credativ (https://credativ.de) who provides me the required time to make ProxLB better!

Changelog

Added

• Add an optional memory balancing threshold (@gyptazy). [#342]
• Add affinity/anti-affinity support by pools (@gyptazy). [#343]
• Add pressure (PSI) based balancing for memory, cpu, disk (req. PVE9 or greater) (@gyptazy). [#337|
  • Pressure (PSI) based balancing for nodes
  • Pressure (PSI) based balancing for guests
• Add PVE version evaluation

⚠️ Note: PSI balancing is still declared as beta. Also, PSI based balancing requires Proxmox VE 9 or greater. On older versions, balancing gets deactivated when configured for PSI.
