Show HN: Proxmox -> Share your host's Bluetooth with a VM over the network
A developer has released a tool to share a Proxmox host's Bluetooth adapter with a virtual machine over the network. This solution bypasses hardware-level limitations in Intel chips that prevent standard USB passthrough from functioning correctly in virtualized environments.
TL;DR: Bluetooth passthrough to a Proxmox VM fails for Intel onboard chips (BE200, AX210, AX211 - by hardware design, no setting fixes it) and is unreliable on gaming distros like ChimeraOS and Bazzite. This tool shares the host's Bluetooth with the VM over the network instead - two commands, works with any chip Linux supports, survives reboots. Controllers, headphones, and Home Assistant sensors all work.
