Cockpit

Cockpit OS and VM management tool

Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers, intended for everyone.

Here’s a subset of tasks you can perform on each host running Cockpit

• inspect and change network settings
• configure a firewall
• manage storage (including RAID and LUKS partitions)
• create and manage virtual machines
• download and run containers
• browse and search system logs
• inspect a system’s hardware
• upgrade software
• manage user accounts
• inspect and interact with systemd-based services
• use a terminal on a remote server in your local web browser

Proxmox VE

Proxmox VE virtualization platform (keeps the Armbian kernel)

Proxmox VE is a complete, open-source server virtualization platform for running KVM virtual machines and LXC containers from a single, integrated web interface. It combines the tooling for compute, storage and software-defined networking so you can manage a whole host — or a cluster of them — from your browser.

This module installs Proxmox VE 9 from the official no-subscription repository on Debian 13 (trixie), on both amd64 and arm64, and — unlike the upstream guide — keeps the running Armbian kernel instead of pulling the Proxmox one.

Key Features

• KVM virtual machines: Full hardware-accelerated VMs via the board’s KVM-enabled Armbian kernel.
• LXC containers: Lightweight, fast system containers alongside your VMs.
• Web management: Manage guests, storage, backups and networking from https://<ip>:8006.
• ZFS storage: Installs ZFS (via DKMS, built against the Armbian kernel) so you can create ZFS pools and datasets for VM/container storage.
• Keeps your kernel: Installs pve-manager (no kernel dependency) rather than the proxmox-ve meta, so your Armbian kernel and DTBs stay in place.
• No subscription needed: Uses the public pve-no-subscription repository.

---

Ideal for turning an Armbian board into a lightweight hypervisor without giving up the board’s own kernel and hardware support.

Access to the web interfaceRuns on the Armbian kernelRequirementsDirectories

The web interface is accessible via port 8006:

• URL: https://<your.IP>:8006
• Username: root (your system root password)

Official documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/

This install intentionally omits the Proxmox kernel and runs on the board’s Armbian kernel:

• KVM virtual machines and LXC containers work provided the running kernel offers the needed support (KVM / /dev/kvm and container cgroups/namespaces) — which the Armbian kernels for these arches normally do.
• This module installs ZFS for you (via DKMS, built against the Armbian kernel), so ZFS storage pools work out of the box; only ZFS-on-root (boot) is out of scope.

• Armbian Trixie (Debian 13) on amd64 or arm64 (enforced by the installer).

• Recommended: the hostname should resolve to a non-loopback IP in /etc/hosts, e.g.:

  192.168.1.50   pve.local pve
  

  If it resolves only to a loopback address (127.x or IPv6 ::1), the installer warns and lets you continue, but the web UI and clustering may not work until you fix /etc/hosts.

• Configuration: /etc/pve
• Cluster data: /var/lib/pve-cluster

apt-cacher-ng

apt-cacher-ng caching proxy install

apt-cacher-ng is a caching HTTP proxy for Debian and Ubuntu apt repositories. The first host on the LAN to fetch a .deb populates the cache; every subsequent apt-get install / apt-get dist-upgrade on any other host serves the same package from local disk — saving WAN bandwidth and turning multi-minute upgrades into seconds.

Key Features

• Transparent HTTP proxy in front of deb.debian.org / archive.ubuntu.com / vendor mirrors
• Single-port (3142), single-container deployment
• Per-package hit-rate report at /acng-report.html
• Survives container restart — cache lives on a host bind-mount
