    Would be cool to run this on Snapdragon X Mini PCs in a 10 inch rack

    I literally am in the process of migrating away from proxmox because they said publicly they would not support arm.

    This was necessary, but guys you got the memo too late

    Corpo-only support,

    Q: Can I run Proxmox VE on a Raspberry Pi or a similar single-board computer? A: No. An arm64 host must boot through UEFI and describe its hardware through ACPI. Device-tree-only boards and legacy boot are not supported.

    Basically no consumer facing arm SBCs, NAS boxes, etc will work with this. Frankly, I see this as a good thing though: Maybe it'll make the SBC market get its stuff together and start actually doing UEFI instead of every board needing a custom build.

      Technically it will run on Pis — someone in my YouTube comments already has it going on top of basic Pi OS 13 (disabled NetworkManager and cloud-init to get it going). Someone else on Mastodon already has it running via a custom Pi 4 UEFI image.

      I'm adding more details in my blog post here: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/proxmox-ve-arm-offici...

      The Orange Pi 6 Plus is full UEFI and boots things like FreeBSD natively. It's a bit higher end than a Raspberry Pi, but they're definitely in the SBC market. I'd assume they'll work with Proxmox if they support the newish 5G ethernet chips out of the box.

      Someone in the forum thread reports it runs on their Pi.

      I don’t see why it couldn’t work, since Debian runs fine on these SBCs.

      Maybe they mean there’s no enterprise support, but it technically runs?

      rpi4 and rpi5 both can use UEFI, and there are various people who already have Proxmox running on a PI5. jeffgeerling has a comment pinned at the top of his Level2jeff video[1], and a comment to that has a link to a rpi5 uefi repository.

      I've installed Proxmox on RasPi 4 and up using an unofficial port, it has been running without problems for several years. Now that there is an officially supported version it should only get easier no matter what Proxmox-the-company states.
