Spin up servers on your own VMware and Proxmox

Connect VMware vCenter or Proxmox VE and Skitflow provisions virtual machines on your infrastructure, then registers them as servers ready to deploy to. Your hardware, your hypervisor, no public cloud.

Bring your own infrastructure

Provision VMs without leaving Skitflow

Connect your virtualization platform once and order servers on demand, from the same place you deploy your apps.

Connect vCenter or Proxmox

Add a VMware vCenter or Proxmox VE endpoint with encrypted credentials. Skitflow reads your inventory of templates, datastores and networks.

Tiers or custom specs

Define reusable VM tiers for your team, or order a one-off machine with a custom CPU, memory and disk spec.

Auto-registered as a server

Each VM is provisioned in the background, has your SSH key injected, and is registered as a Skitflow server, ready to deploy to.

How it works

From hypervisor to running app in three steps

All from the Skitflow dashboard.

1 · Connect your provider

Add VMware vCenter or Proxmox VE. Credentials are stored encrypted and used only to provision VMs.

2 · Order a VM

Clone a tier or define a custom spec, choose its placement, and Skitflow provisions the machine in the background.

3 · Deploy to it

The VM joins as a server automatically. Deploy applications, databases and Compose stacks to it like any other Skitflow server.

Supported platforms

Native placement for VMware and Proxmox

Skitflow speaks each platform's API, so you place VMs exactly where they belong.

VMware vSphere

  • vCenter-managed

    Provision from a vCenter endpoint using your existing VM templates.

  • Full placement control

    Choose the template, datastore, network, resource pool and folder for every VM.

Proxmox VE

  • Password or token auth

    Connect with a Proxmox user or an API token (user@realm!tokenid).

  • Node-aware placement

    Pick the node, storage, network bridge and VLAN tag for each machine.

Cloud Providers FAQ

Where are my credentials stored?

Provider credentials are encrypted at rest and used only to provision and manage VMs. They never leave your Skitflow instance.

What happens when I delete a VM order?

Deleting an order removes the VM from the hypervisor (if it was created) along with the order record.

Can I still add servers manually?

Yes. Provisioned VMs sit alongside manually added servers, and removing a provider keeps the servers you have already provisioned.

Is this the same as a public cloud?

No. Skitflow provisions onto infrastructure you already own and run, your VMware or Proxmox cluster, so your data and workloads stay on your hardware.

Turn your virtualization cluster into a deploy platform

Connect VMware vCenter or Proxmox VE and provision servers on demand, right where you deploy your apps.
