Proxmox released Virtual Environment (VE) version 9.2 on August 12, officially supporting the 64-bit ARM (arm64/aarch64) architecture alongside the established x86-64 platform [1, 2]. The arm64 edition maintains the same code base, package repositories, release lifecycle, and key technology versions as the x86-64 variant, providing consistent experience and support [1].
Built on Debian 13.5 'Trixie' and running Linux kernel 7.0, Proxmox VE 9.2 for arm64 targets enterprise class ARM servers, not single-board computers like Raspberry Pi which lack required UEFI boot and ACPI hardware description support [1, 2]. Officially supported hardware platforms include NVIDIA Grace Hopper and Vera servers, developed in cooperation with NVIDIA [1, 2].
Community users have successfully run Proxmox VE arm64 on other ARMv8 and ARMv9 systems, such as Ampere Altra processors, though these are not officially supported platforms [2]. Proxmox also plans to collaborate with additional enterprise ARM server vendors to expand support in the future [1].
The arm64 version is fully supported enterprise-grade software, not a technology preview. Proxmox states on its FAQ that arm64 releases share identical release cycles and support windows with x86-64 editions [1]. Support subscriptions and enterprise repositories are offered separately for arm64, matching service levels available to x86-64 users [1].
Some architecture-specific differences remain between x86-64 and arm64, but configuration, tooling, and core functionality remain consistent across both platforms [1].
Proxmox’s official arm64 support opens new options for enterprises running ARM servers, with the 9.2 release laying the foundation for expanded hardware compatibility and long-term maintenance. The new arm64 ISO is available now for installation and testing [1, 2].
