    Does that TLP work with proxmox? I was thinking about trying pm with an old Dell latitude I have, but I’m worried about the battery exploding.

      Assuming it’s compatible with the hardware at all, it should. You would have to install it on the Proxmox host itself, but Proxmox is basically just Fancy-Debian-for-Virtual-Machine-Hosting and it has Debian packages so that shouldn’t be a problem. Login to the Proxmox itself and install it there.

      I’ve never used Proxmox, so I can’t say. But TLP is a utility that starts at boot. I’ve used it with virtualbox running, so if Proxmox runs atop a host operating system, I don’t imagine that it would interfere with TLP.

      As an additional note, I usually set the min/max thresholds at 40/80, so the battery will charge any time it’s plugged in and below 40% and stops charging when it reaches 80%.
