Proxmox is also making their own: https://www.proxmox.com/en/products/proxmox-datacenter-manager/overview
source code: https://github.com/proxmox/proxmox-datacenter-manager
Two more that I have found:
PegaProx
Kinky.
As far as UI goes, that Proxmox Datacenter Manager looks similar to ProxCenter. I agree with @non_burglar@lemmy.world, in that a proper dashboard was missing.

Weird. It loads here:
I don't use proxmox anymore, but it certainly needed a proper dashboard for basic metrics.
Why not? What did you move to?
Proxmox has a lot of tools I don't need and I didn't like how proxmox manages storage. Now I use Incus, mostly because incus doesn't care about your storage back-end, networking, etc.
What's wrong with proxmox storage? Am I about to make a mistake?
Am I about to make a mistake?
Probably not. I've been a longtime Linux user/admin and I like to get under the hood with storage and networking.
Nothing wrong with proxmox at all, I used it for almost a decade.
Most likely not. However, proxmox is a bit strict here and there on how it wants drives, networking and other stuff laid out. Also the hypervisor itself is quite strictly only for that. So, if you want to tinker with something without virtualization platform or use your drives for something else than just proxmox-installation it's likely not officially supported at least and might cause some headache or even bigger problems, like potentially losing data, if you run it in a way it's not meant to.
However, if you just want a pretty capable hypervisor and run all your stuff on top of that it's perfectly fine, specially for hobbyists. For bigger enterprises it has some issues and management for a bigger server fleet, at least for now, isn't as polished as the 'big players' have, but, again, for home gamer it's pretty good solution.
This looks really cool, but I wish that OIDC wasn't tied to an enterprise license that doesn't show a price (just a contact us form and email address) and requires annual renewal.
I'd be willing to pay a reasonable one time fee to unlock OIDC support, and I understand why they charge a recurring fee for the other enterprise license features, but as it currently stands this doesn't really make sense for a home lab.
You can do oidc with the proxmox ui itself.
I use oidc with Incus, which is a fork of lxd and a similar software to proxmox, it can run vm's and lxd containers.
Yes I already do so, but this dashboard requires an enterprise license to also use OIDC.
It's unfortunately common, even though it probably shouldn't be.
Agreed.
I don't mind paying a reasonable price for access to SSO, especially if the service is fully provided by third-party infrastructure. For something that is fully self hosted on the other hand, a recurring cost for what should be a basic (or at most a one time reasonable fee) feature feels egregious.
Good to see that site is getting updates again.
It’s super douchey when people show their GitHub stars.
How so? It's one of the things I check in addition to last update, etc.
Douchey little popularity contests do not mean code is good. It’s misleading just like upvotes. It’s just what social media loving developers do. Most respectable (not all) projects avoid making a big deal out of it. It already shows it on GitHub. Why show it again? To be douchey?
Hmmm
do not mean code is good
Doesn't mean it's bad either, but warrants checking out.

I guess I just don't see it as douchey. To me is says, 'hey this might be worth checking out.' Besides Lemmy and a couple of long standing forums, I really don't do social media so perhaps I not as jaded.
I mean it's a metric. Not a perfect one, but it helps to get an overview of the state of a repository.
No it doesn’t. Popularity contest only.
seems unfinished
I'm not exactly sure what you are try to convey to me.
