Proxmox VE 3.3 Released

[HalfEatenPie]

This is a bit of old news, but for those of us with private nodes that like a one-stop solution Proxmox is one of the Go-tos for Virtualization. 

As I was looking for the latest Proxmox ISO for a local desktop computer I have at work, I found out Proxmox released version 3.3 of their PVE Software on September 15th.  

Seems they have three major changes to Proxmox.

- Proxmox Firewall

- Two-Factor Authentication Support

- HTML5 Console 

Not bad eh?

How is the version upgrade process?  Just work or what?

With Proxmox VE 3.3 we made your virtualization environment even more secure. It comes with an integrated Proxmox VE Firewall and you can add extra authentication steps to the login process. Also, for all of you busy on the go: You can now use Proxmox VE whereever you are on your smartphone with Proxmox VE Mobile.

New features:

• HTML5 console (noVNC)
  
• Proxmox VE Firewall
• Two-factor authentication with YubiKey and OATH
• ZFS storage plugin
• Proxmox VE Mobile touch interface

Well, from what I can tell it's a bit more complicated than a simple "apt-get upgrade"...

They want you to mount the Proxmox VE 3.3 ISO or something and fiddle around with that.

I haven't actually read through it yet (which I will once I get more time).  But still, interesting to look into.

It doesn't seem they have any API calls for the firewall yet - at least none in documentation. Sad.

Haha from what I recall it takes them a while to get full documentations up.

dist-upgrade got me all of this, your mileage probably will vary.

I remembered there must be one since the PVE web GUI uses the same API.

I found it in pvesh. It doesn't help much though as there is no documentation for the arguments. Oh well

Great feature set and stable platform.

No issues to speak of, at all?

none that I've noticed. I however have not tried the firewall addon yet.

Sorry to bring up a relatively "old" topic by now, but I just wanted to confirm that "dist-upgrade" worked flawlessly. I tried it on a 3.1* installation and upgraded to 3.3-5/bfebec03, up until now I haven't seen any issues after upgrade. All went smooth as always
