The author installed Proxmox on a Raspberry Pi 5 anyway by manually reconfiguring networking (removing NetworkManager and cloud-init, setting up a Linux bridge) and got LXC containers, VMs, and USB pass-through working, despite it being unsupported and not recommended for critical workloads. The experiment highlights a broader middle ground of best-effort supported Arm hardware, such as Ampere and Orange Pi UEFI systems, that sit between the Pi and Nvidia's enterprise-grade servers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does Proxmox VE officially support the Raspberry Pi on its new Arm64 release? No, Proxmox VE's official Arm64 release explicitly excludes device-tree-only single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. Official support targets UEFI and ACPI-based Arm hardware such as Nvidia Grace Hopper and Vera platforms, plus best-effort support for other UEFI-based Arm systems like Ampere and Orange Pi boards with UEFI firmware. _Home lab builders weighing Arm hardware options can follow Proxmox support changes on daily.dev._ ### What do I need to change to install Proxmox VE on a Raspberry Pi 5 running Raspberry Pi OS? You need to reconfigure networking to match what Proxmox expects, including setting up a Linux bridge, removing NetworkManager and cloud-init, and editing the hosts file so the machine's actual network address is tied to its hostname instead of loopback. After that, Proxmox packages install and LXC containers, VMs, and USB pass-through work, tested on an 8GB and a 4GB Raspberry Pi 5. _Anyone hacking unsupported hardware into a home lab setup can track install guides like this on daily.dev._ ### What software stack does the Proxmox VE Arm64 release use compared to the x86-64 version? The Arm64 release is based on Debian 13.5 Trixie and ships the same versions of QEMU, LXC, and ZFS as the x86-64 release, with configuration, tooling, and documentation staying essentially the same aside from a few architecture-specific differences, so existing Proxmox knowledge carries over. _Developers evaluating Arm versus x86 virtualization stacks can compare notes like this on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/infrastructure), [#raspberry-pi](https://daily.dev/tags/raspberry-pi), [#arm](https://daily.dev/tags/arm), [#homelab](https://daily.dev/tags/homelab), [#proxmox](https://daily.dev/tags/proxmox) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/proxmox-s-official-arm-release-doesn-t-support-raspberry-pi-so-i-installed-it-anyway-hb87ydixm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Proxmox's official Arm release doesn't support Raspberry Pi, so I installed it anyway","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/proxmox-s-official-arm-release-doesn-t-support-raspberry-pi-so-i-installed-it-anyway-hb87ydixm","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/proxmox-s-official-arm-release-doesn-t-support-raspberry-pi-so-i-installed-it-anyway-hb87ydixm"},"datePublished":"2026-09-01T13:05:53.204Z","dateModified":"2026-09-01T13:06:28.590Z","description":"Proxmox VE 9.2 now officially supports Arm64, but only for hardware like Nvidia Grace Hopper/Vera and UEFI/ACPI-compliant systems, explicitly excluding...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ae29865b90dc974a71acb0f95ded039?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ae29865b90dc974a71acb0f95ded039?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"XDA Developers","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"XDA Developers","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--kCg6yyAP--/f_auto,q_auto/v1774964407/logos/xda-developers?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/proxmox-s-official-arm-release-doesn-t-support-raspberry-pi-so-i-installed-it-anyway-hb87ydixm","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"infrastructure,raspberry-pi,arm,homelab,proxmox","timeRequired":"PT6M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"XDA Developers","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Proxmox's official Arm release doesn't support Raspberry Pi, so I installed it anyway"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/proxmox-s-official-arm-release-doesn-t-support-raspberry-pi-so-i-installed-it-anyway-hb87ydixm#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Does Proxmox VE officially support the Raspberry Pi on its new Arm64 release?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No, Proxmox VE's official Arm64 release explicitly excludes device-tree-only single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi.
