[PVE-User] Proxmox Wishlist

>>3.) Software RAID/Fake-RAID is not suited for the enterprise environment, with that said, you can still run Proxmox on Software RAID, but it's not supported. You don't need a $300 RAID card, I bought a complete >>server recently for $200 that had a built-in LSI SAS1064E controller 

I'm begin to test raid management at lvm level (available since last lvm releases), maybe it could be easy to extend the proxmox installer.


>>4.) I completely agree, JAVA is a pain for some situations, and with HTML5 gaining traction, I do think it should be considered, if it isn't already. But SPICE is already supported, and works well enough to be a >>replacement for JAVA. The only downside being the person has to install the client.

html5 novnc console is available in proxmox git ;)

I think a lot of your features are useful, but for the function of Proxmox as a platform, it's too much work. All of these features can be implemented by the vendor using Proxmox. More features mean more bugs, and for Proxmox to be used as a platform, meaning software an organization to build upon, it's more cruft than needed. 

1.) If a person can't figure it out, they should do one of a few things: hire someone capable to admin the server, hire someone to implement such functionality, or use a premade commercial software. 
2.) Are you referring to the guest or host OS? This can already be done on the host OS. If you are referring to the guest OS, than I believe it is unnecessary, as there are numerous open source control panels such as Webmin that have this functionality. 
3.) Software RAID/Fake-RAID is not suited for the enterprise environment, with that said, you can still run Proxmox on Software RAID, but it's not supported. You don't need a $300 RAID card, I bought a complete server recently for $200 that had a built-in LSI SAS1064E controller

Here's a wish-list of things I would love to see in a future release of Proxmox: 




    1. Clustering from the GUI. It's sad but true: If it can't be done from they GUI, some people won't use the feature. Even though I can show some potential Proxmox users how to cluster, they won't touch a command line. Thus, they turn to VMware or Hyper-V. 
    2. A basic TUI. For those who are courageous enough to try Linux, they could use a little help with the little things. I suggest a menu-driven program to help with basic tasks on the server, which can be run directly from the console. Give it some basic abilities, like changing IP address settings, and installing updates. 
    3. Software Raid of some kind. I know that has been discussed in the past. Simply put, some users are running ProxMox on non-server grade hardware, and cannot afford a $300 RAID Card. Perhaps something less sophisticated, like a backup-to-USB that is bootable? 
    4. Less Java. I'm happy to see the SPICE protocol being used, but client integration is still a work-in-progress. A HTML5 solution such as NoVNC or a HTML5 SPICE client would help aleviate this, and drop the need for the slow and buggy JAVA client. 


Thank you for the awesome product!
