Proxmox VE
As an LXC template for the leanest footprint or as a VM image (qcow2) for the cleanest isolation – we ship both. After the import, the first-boot wizard walks you through network, license and meter connection in the browser.
NeLeSo Edge V · Virtual Appliance
The OCPP server for your own IT.
Edge V runs on your virtualization – Proxmox, VMware or containers. The same software as on the hardware appliances, delivered as a ready-to-run image with a first-boot wizard: import, boot, connect your wallboxes.
Delivery formats
Runs where your IT already runs.
One image, three formats – you choose the environment, the feature set stays identical.
VMware & other hypervisors
An OVA for VMware/ESXi and compatible hypervisors: import the file, start the VM, done. The same first-boot wizard handles the base configuration – no Linux skills required.
Containers
A Docker Compose bundle for teams that already run containers. Roll it out, start it, step through the first-boot wizard – same update channel, same signed artifacts as the appliances.
Sizing
Scales with your host.
No appliance hardware as the bottleneck: Edge V grows with the resources you give the instance.
- Reference sizing: 4 vCPUs and 8 GB of RAM carry up to 100 charge points
- License tiers up to 25 and up to 100 charge points – capacity is set by the license, not a technical limit
- Larger instances on request – we size them together with your IT team
- Field-proven: one operator runs 800 wallboxes through a single Edge V instance
Feature set
The complete Edge stack – virtualized.
OCPP 1.6J & 2.0.1 server
The local OCPP server for all your charge points – vendor-independent, both protocol versions in parallel.
OCPP broker & routing
Decouples wallboxes from the backend and routes OCPP connections – for zero-downtime migrations or running multiple backends in parallel.
Dynamic load management
Distributes the available grid capacity dynamically across your charge points. Meters and metering hardware connect via Modbus RTU/TCP, SunSpec and EEBUS.
PV surplus charging
Steers PV surplus into the vehicles first – for maximum self-consumption on site.
Monitoring & alerts
Live status of all charge points, sessions and meters – with alerts before an anomaly turns into an outage.
Cloud sync optional
Offline-first: the instance works autonomously. Connecting it to a central platform is optional – all the way to fully air-gapped operation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Edge V.
Proxmox, VM or container – what do you recommend?
If you run Proxmox, we recommend the VM image (qcow2) for the cleanest isolation; the LXC template is the more resource-efficient alternative. On VMware and other hypervisors you import the OVA, and the Docker Compose bundle fits existing container environments. The feature set is identical across all formats.
Can I move to a hardware appliance later?
Yes. Edge V, Edge S and Edge L share the same software base. Your configuration moves to the new device via backup – the migration is an afternoon, not a project.
How is Edge V licensed?
The license is bound to the instance ID; capacity is set by the license tier: up to 25 or up to 100 charge points, with larger instances available on request. There is no artificial technical limit – one instance in the field runs 800 wallboxes in production.
