Common questions

Is Proxbase safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (0.4.1) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Proxbase

Real Proxmox VE clusters on your Linux machine in about three minutes, for labs, demos and CI.

Proxbase starts every node as a QEMU/KVM virtual machine, installs it from the official Proxmox VE ISO with the automated installer, and joins the nodes into a cluster through the Proxmox API, with ZFS or Ceph storage, internal networks and an API token ready for Terraform or Ansible. No root, no Docker, no manual clicks.

$ proxbase create lab --nodes 3

… created in 2m56s Cluster lab: ready, quorate: yes, switch: running NODE VM CLUSTER IP WEB UI SSH pve1 running online 10.10.10.11 https://127.0.0.1:18001 127.0.0.1:18101 pve2 running online 10.10.10.12 https://127.0.0.1:18002 127.0.0.1:18102 pve3 running online 10.10.10.13 https://127.0.0.1:18003 127.0.0.1:18103

Features

Real nodes: each node is a VM with its own kernel installed from the stock ISO; nested virtualization lets you run guests inside the cluster.
Storage: ZFS pools per node, or hyperconverged Ceph (RBD and CephFS) that waits for HEALTH_OK.
Networking without root: several internal networks with roles (corosync link0/link1, Ceph public/cluster, migration), VLAN-aware and L2-only bridges, jumbo frames.
Lifecycle: start/stop, add and remove nodes (with Ceph draining), consistent snapshots of the whole cluster, live snapshots that resume a running cluster in seconds, resumable creates.
Fault injection: power loss, hung nodes, pulled cables, network partitions, latency and loss, to test HA, fencing and Ceph recovery.
Ready for automation: API token and CA export, proxbase env for shells, JSON and the bpg/proxmox Terraform provider, -o json and --progress json for scripts, and a GitHub Action for CI that can cache a ready cluster as a template.
For AI agents: proxbase mcp is an MCP server: agents create clusters, call the API, run commands on nodes, diagnose, reset to snapshots and inject faults through tools. A skill teaches them the workflow; in Claude Code: /plugin install proxbase --marketplace virtbase/proxbase.
Fast: --golden clones nodes from a cached base image: a 3-node cluster in under a minute (Ceph: 1.5 minutes), with a unique identity per node.
Declarative: one YAML file with a JSON schema; every flag overrides a field.
Docker Compose: proxbase up runs a cluster in the foreground with clean shutdown and a health check.

Quick start

Requirements: Linux on amd64 with /dev/kvm, QEMU 7.2+ (qemu-system-x86_64, qemu-img) and about 4 GiB RAM per node. Nested virtualization is needed for guests inside the nodes.

go install github.com/virtbase/proxbase/cmd/proxbase@latest   # or see docs/install.md

proxbase doctor # checks KVM, QEMU, memory, ports proxbase create lab --nodes 3

Then open https://127.0.0.1:18001 (user root, password from proxbase env lab), or:

proxbase ssh lab pve2 -- pvecm status

eval "$(proxbase env lab)" # PROXMOX_VE_ENDPOINT, PROXMOX_VE_API_TOKEN, … proxbase destroy lab --yes # removes everything

Usage

proxbase create ceph --nodes 3 --storage ceph       # hyperconverged Ceph

proxbase create fast --nodes 3 --golden # clone from a cached base image proxbase create -f examples/networks.yaml # separate networks and VLANs proxbase node add lab --count 1 # grow the cluster proxbase node remove lab pve2 # shrink it again proxbase stop lab && proxbase snapshot save lab base proxbase snapshot restore lab base && proxbase start lab proxbase env lab --format terraform # provider block for bpg/proxmox proxbase fault partition lab pve3 # isolate a node, then: fault clear proxbase status lab --check # exit code for CI and health checks claude mcp add proxbase -- proxbase mcp # let an AI agent drive proxbase proxbase upgrade # install the latest release

In GitHub Actions:

- id: pve

uses: virtbase/proxbase@v0 # KVM, QEMU, cache, create; outputs endpoint, api-token, env-file

env: {PVE_ENV: "${{ steps.pve.outputs.env-file }}"} run: . "$PVE_ENV" && go test ./... -tags integration
if: always() run: proxbase destroy ci --yes

A cluster file looks like this (everything has a default):

apiVersion: proxbase.virtbase.com/v1alpha1

kind: Cluster name: lab nodes: count: 3 defaults: {cpus: 4, memory: 4G, dataDisks: [{size: 32G}]} networks:

{name: cluster, cidr: 10.10.10.0/24, roles: [corosync]}

storage: zfs: [{name: tank, raid: single}]

Status and limits

Proxbase is young; the file format may change before v1.0. It is tested with Proxmox VE 9.2 on Debian 13 (QEMU 10.0, AMD). Clusters need a Linux host with KVM: macOS builds are experimental and Docker Desktop has no /dev/kvm. Nodes are reachable from the host through forwarded ports on 127.0.0.1; host-reachable bridge networking is designed but not implemented. Proxbase builds labs: it stores generated passwords and keys unencrypted in its state directory.
