  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • OpenMediaVault

    openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. openmediavault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices.

  • UnRaid is a NAS OS, and includes Docker containers and KVM-based VMs. Same for OpenMediaVault https://www.openmediavault.org/. They are both Linux-based. If you finally decide to stick with Proxmox or even ESXi, look at Starwind San and NAS virtual OS, https://www.starwindsoftware.com/free-san-and-nas. It is lighter than TrueNAS.

  • PVEDiscordDark

    A Discord-like dark theme for the Proxmox Web UI.

  • As a side note for any dark mode fans, there is no official dark mode for Proxmox. This dark theme however, took me about 30 seconds to install and looks great.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
