Your whole Proxmox fleet in one place, from your phone. ProxDash connects directly to Proxmox VE clusters and nodes, Proxmox Backup Servers and the Proxmox Datacenter Manager, in any mix, and shows what is going on across all of them: which guests are running, which nodes are busy, what needs attention, and whether last night's backups actually happened. SEE EVERYTHING, FREE • Overview: remotes, nodes, updates waiting and whatever needs a look, on one screen you can rearrange • Guests: every VM and container with CPU, memory, disk and history • Backup coverage: which guests have a recent backup, which backup failed, and which nothing is backing up at all • Schedules: what runs next and how the last run went, with the log a tap away • Storage: usage now and a forecast of when a volume fills • Containers: Portainer stacks and containers, with image updates checked against the registry • Tasks, node health, certificates and package updates across the fleet • Notifications and a home screen badge when something changes while the app is closed • Widgets for the fleet, the next scheduled job and container updates ACT ON IT WITH PROXDASH PRO • Start, stop, shut down and migrate guests; take and roll back snapshots • Scenes: a sequence of steps you run with one tap, and reverse the same way • System updates on a node, with guests moved off first and back afterwards • Redeploy stacks, apply image updates, clean up Docker hosts • Bought once, or by the year PRIVATE BY DESIGN ProxDash talks to your servers and to nothing else. No account, no analytics, no crash reporting. Credentials stay in the device keychain. Face ID locks the app once it can change things.
