Proxmox has recently announced the first official release of Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) with support for 64-bit Arm (arm64/aarch64). Until now, the popular virtualization solution was only available for x86-64 (amd64).Proxmox VE 9.2 for arm64 is built on Debian 13.5 “Trixie” with Linux 7.0, and is otherwise based on the same code as the x86-64 version, and relies on the same configuration, tooling, and documentation, except for a few architecture-specific differences.The developers note that Proxmox VE for Arm fully supports NVIDIA Grace Hopper and NVIDIA Vera platforms, and “best-effort” support is available on other UEFI-based Armv8-A/Armv9-A hardware. However, device-tree-only single-board computers, such as the Raspberry Pi, are not supported, since the host must boot through UEFI and describe its hardware through ACPI.Having said that, we previously noted work on an UEFI+ACPI port for the Raspberry Pi 4, and users have already managed to have the release work on a Raspberry Pi 4 and a Raspberry Pi 5, as YouTube user _jonny_ explains:I have it working on a Pi5, just did the manual install steps on a RPi Trixie install, just skipped the proxmox kernel step. I did have to disable NetworkManager and some of the cloud-init stuff, as it get getting in the way of how Proxmox wants things setup. I managed to spin up two AlmaLinux VMs, running DE and server, both worked just fine and seen no lag within a VM.He didn’t seem to use any UEFI firmware, but for reference, there’s also an EDK2 firmware port for the Pi 5.Screenshot source: Jeff Geerling’s blog
