v1.1.0 - Project Self-Care Portal

Release date: 2025-12-23
VPN users can now start/stop, create/delete VMs, create snapshots, and perform backups within their own project.

Overview

This release adds a per-project “self-care portal” on top of the existing isolated SDN + VPN lab.

Project admins can log in to the Proxmox GUI over VPN and manage only their own project VMs,
without ever seeing or touching other projects or the Datacenter configuration.

This feature is available in MSL Setup Pro - Corporate.

Highlights

Per-project GUI access over VPN
- Each project (PJ01, PJ02, …) gets:
  - its own Proxmox Pool,
  - Group and User (for project admins),
  - project-scoped RBAC.
- VPN project admins can:
  - log in to the Proxmox dashboard,
  - see only their own project VMs and storage,
  - start/stop VMs, access console,
  - create snapshots and backups,
  - create and delete VMs inside their project.
RBAC on top of isolated SDN
- Reuses the isolated SDN lab from v1.0.0 (SDN Simple zone + VNet per project).
- Adds RBAC on:
  - Proxmox Pools (VMs / storage),
  - SDN Zones / VNets,
  - node-level firewall rules for the GUI (port 8006, VPN only).
- Ensures that:
  - project admins cannot see other projects’ VMs or storage,
  - Datacenter-level settings remain under core infra ownership.
Automation with backup & restore (Corporate)
- New automation script (internal name, example):
  - 0203_setupSelfCarePortal.sh
- For each project (PJ01…PJNN), it:
  - creates Pool / Group / User,
  - assigns roles and SDN permissions,
  - configures node firewall rules for GUI access from VPN,
  - generates random passwords for project admin accounts,
  - writes all changes to an RBAC backup folder (e.g. ./rbac_backup).
- Supports a --restore mode to roll back to the previous RBAC state if you want to undo all changes and return to the original configuration.

Edition differences

MSL Setup Basic
- Full RBAC procedure and design are documented as manual steps.
- Anyone can reproduce the same pattern by following the documentation.
MSL Setup Pro - Personal
- Focused on a single admin / single-owner lab on one Proxmox node.
- Designed for individual engineers and small teams.
MSL Setup Pro - Corporate
- Includes the automated self-care portal for multiple projects and teams.
- Adds backup / restore support around RBAC changes for safer experimentation.
- Intended for organizations hosting multiple concurrent projects on a shared Proxmox lab.

v1.0.0 - Initial Pro Release

Release date: 2025-12-18

Overview

First public release of Zelogx MSL Setup Pro.
Automates the creation of a fully isolated, single-node development lab on top of Proxmox VE.

Highlights

Single-node isolated SDN lab
- Proxmox VE with SDN Simple zone.
- Per-project VNets (vnetpj01, vnetpj02, … ) inside an isolated dev zone.
- Strict separation between projects at the network level.
Automated SDN deployment
- Environment validation and SDN setup split into:
  - 0101_checkConfigNetwork.sh
  - 0102_setupNetwork.sh
  - 01_networkSetup.sh as a wrapper/entry script.
- Automatically creates:
  - SDN zone(s) for development projects,
  - VNets per project,
  - IP ranges and basic routing / gateway configuration.
Pritunl-based VPN access
- Automated deployment and basic configuration of Pritunl:
  - 0201_createPritunlVM.sh
  - 0202_configurePritunl.sh
  - 02_vpnSetup.sh as a wrapper/entry script.
- Provides per-project VPN access into the lab, without exposing Proxmox directly to the internet.
Secure “multiverse” style layout
- A single strong Proxmox node hosts multiple fully isolated project labs.
- Each project gets:
  - its own VNet,
  - its own VPN access path,
  - no L2/L3 connectivity to other projects by default.
- Designed as a reusable pattern for securing dev/test environments on a single host.

Relationship to MSL Setup Basic

MSL Setup Basic:
- Publishes the open design and manual build steps.
- Intended as documentation and a reference implementation.
MSL Setup Pro:
- Packages the same ideas into repeatable shell automation.
- Adds guardrails, checks, and operational smoothing on top of the Basic design.

Future roadmap (high level)

This section is intentionally lightweight and non-binding.

VXLAN / EVPN-based SDN zones for cross-node project networks.
Extended RBAC patterns for multi-node Proxmox clusters.
Multi-node and cluster-aware lab setups (e.g. 3-node + Ceph).
Additional tools around monitoring, audit trails, and long-term retention.

Stay tuned on the Zelogx website and the
GitHub repository for updates, examples, and real-world usage notes.
