A complete KVM and LXC virtualization platform for Arch Linux, packaged as PKGBUILDs with a web management UI, clustering, live migration, and high availability.
Archmox Virtual Environment (PVE) is a complete virtualization platform based on KVM and LXC, built for Arch Linux via PKGBUILDs. Manage virtual machines and containers through a web-based interface with full clustering, live migration, and high availability.
It is an independent port of the Proxmox VE stack to the Arch Linux ecosystem, distributed under free and open-source licenses.
Full hardware virtualization with UEFI, TPM, and GPU passthrough support.
Lightweight OS-level virtualization for efficient system containers.
HTTPS-based interface for managing VMs, storage, networking, and users.
Move running VMs between nodes with zero downtime.
Instant snapshots, linked clones, and full clones.
Granular permissions for users, groups, and authentication realms.
Per-VM and cluster-level firewall with IPSet support.
TOTP-based 2FA for the web interface.
PVE is composed of these core PKGBUILD packages:
pve-manager — Management daemon and web UIqemu-server — QEMU/KVM wrapper and managementpve-container — LXC container managementpve-cluster — Corosync-based cluster filesystempve-storage — Storage backends (ZFS, Ceph, LVM, NFS, iSCSI)pve-network — Software-defined networking (SDN, VXLAN, VLAN)pve-firewall — Cluster firewall managementpve-ha-manager — High availability resource schedulingAdd the Archmox repository once, then install the virtualization stack with pacman.
