A future release outside >=9.0.0 <10.0.0 requires impact review. This page must not silently transfer these requirements to a materially different version.

deployment methods in scope

nesting depth 0

Proxmox VE on bare metal

runtime: Bare-metal x86-64 host · nesting depth 0

This deployment method is modeled by the pilot but has not been reproduced in an accepted physical-mini-PC lab run.

requirements used by public recipes

Proxmox host with two light service VMs

Prerequisite and planning-budget fit for a single-node host; not VM throughput, resilience, or storage-latency performance.

known issues in this version scope

No known issue is attached to this exact version scope in the current graph. That means “none recorded,” not proof that no issue exists; the weekly review deadline remains visible above.

benchmark protocols and tested hardware

No controlled benchmark protocol is published for this application record yet. Official requirements remain Grade B and modeled budgets remain Grade D.

No exact hardware configuration has an accepted Grade A result for this application version. The page therefore makes no measured performance claim.

what these requirements do not prove

  • They do not prove sustained throughput, latency, stability, thermals, or power.
  • They do not prove that every codec, integration, plugin, or storage topology works.
  • They do not turn a platform family into an exact physical configuration.
  • They do not authorize a “recommended” ranking without a declared workload.

Scoped Grade A results: 0. This page exposes version-scoped prerequisites from official sources and the pilot’s modeling boundary.

evidence boundary

Grade A count: 0. A Grade B source can establish a documented specification or requirement. Grade D records are modeling inputs. Neither is proof of measured throughput, thermals, power, reliability, or physical fit.

3 attached evidence records

a grade describes how well attested a statement is, not how good the hardware is. grade a is a lab run we reproduced with a published method. grade d is a model, a reasoned inference, or a single unverified report.

  1. evidence grade b · official sourcesupports

    For production, Proxmox VE documents Intel 64 or AMD64 with hardware virtualization, at least 2 GB for host services plus designated guest memory, fast redundant storage with SSDs preferred, and redundant multi-gigabit network interfaces. Its separate evaluation-only minimum is not a production recommendation.

  2. evidence grade b · official sourcesupports

    Proxmox VE 9.0 is an official stable release line based on Debian 13, and its ISO is installable directly on bare metal.

  3. evidence grade d · modeled or inferredsupports

    Resource allocations in candidate recipes and the starter stack are planning budgets, not measured throughput or latency claims.

    limitation: This is a modeled or inferred claim. It cannot establish measured performance.

record and source history

This projection is generated from homelab graph version 0.1.0. The generated lifecycle index exposes only history events that are explicitly present in the structured record. It does not invent an earlier revision when the graph contains only its creation baseline.

  1. — current preview record reviewed against the attached evidence set.
  2. — next required review under the weekly software review interval.
  3. — created: Initial version-scoped software record created.
