Proxmox Virtual Environment now available for 64-bit ARM (arm64)!

Editor: unchanged snippets from a recent Proxmox post. See disclosures at bottom.

We are excited to announce the first release of Proxmox Virtual Environment with official support for a second CPU architecture: 64-bit ARM (arm64/aarch64).

Read the full announcement in the Proxmox forms here.

Until now, Proxmox VE was available for x86-64 (amd64) only. Proxmox VE 9.2 for arm64 shares the code base, package repositories, and release lifecycle with its x86-64 counterpart. It is built on Debian 13.5 "Trixie" with Linux kernel 7.0 as the stable default, and ships the same versions of our underlying key technologies, including QEMU 11.0, LXC 7.0, and ZFS 2.4. Configuration, tooling, and documentation are identical to x86-64, except for a small set of architecture-specific differences listed below.

Platform support

• Fully supported on the NVIDIA Grace Hopper and NVIDIA Vera platforms

• Best-effort support on other UEFI-based ARMv9-A or newer hardware (ARMv8-A generally works as well, likewise best-effort)

• The host must boot through UEFI and describe its hardware through ACPI

• Device-tree-only single-board computers, such as the Raspberry Pi, are not supported
