## What it is
A port of the Proxmox VE hypervisor to NixOS, packaged as NixOS modules and Nix overlays so Proxmox can be enabled declaratively in a NixOS configuration. It supports core features like booting VMs and user management on real x86_64 hardware, while clusters and HA remain under development.

## Use cases
- run Proxmox VE on NixOS declaratively
- manage a Proxmox hypervisor with a NixOS configuration
- boot VMs with Proxmox on NixOS
- set up a home lab hypervisor using Nix flakes
- enable Proxmox VE via a NixOS module
- use a binary cache for heavy Proxmox package builds

## When to choose
- you run NixOS and want Proxmox managed declaratively
- you want reproducible, configuration-as-code hypervisor setup
- you need basic VM and user management on x86_64 hardware

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade Proxmox with clusters or HA
- you want official vendor support
- you run non-x86_64 architectures
- you are not comfortable debugging issues yourself

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: experimental
- function: configuration-management, developer-tools
- domain: self-hosted, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: -
- tags: proxmox, nixos, nix, hypervisor, virtualization, declarative-configuration, nixos-module, nix-flake, devops, linux, x86_64
