A Terraform Provider which adds support for Proxmox solutions.
This repository is a fork of https://github.com/danitso/terraform-provider-proxmox which is no longer maintained.
This provider is compatible with the latest version of Proxmox VE (currently 8.0). While it may work with older 7.x versions, it is not guaranteed to do so.
While provider is on version 0.x, it is not guaranteed to be backwards compatible with all previous minor versions. However, we will try to keep the backwards compatibility between provider versions as much as possible.
-
Clone the repository to
$GOPATH/src/github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox:mkdir -p "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/bpg" cd "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/bpg" git clone [email protected]:bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox
-
Enter the provider directory and build it:
cd "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox" make build
You can find the latest release and its documentation in the Terraform Registry.
In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.
make testTests are limited to regression tests, ensuring backwards compatibility.
There are number of TF examples in the examples directory, which can be used
to deploy a Container, VM, or other Proxmox resources on your test Proxmox
cluster. The following assumptions are made about the test Proxmox cluster:
- It has one node named
pve - The node has local storages named
localandlocal-lvm
Create examples/terraform.tfvars with the following variables:
virtual_environment_username = "root@pam"
virtual_environment_password = "put-your-password-here"
virtual_environment_endpoint = "https://<your-cluster-endpoint>:8006/"Then run make example to deploy the example resources.
The provider is using the Terraform SDKv2, which is considered legacy and is in maintenance mode. The work has started to migrate the provider to the new Terraform Plugin Framework, with aim to release it as a new major version 1.0.
Due to limitations in the Proxmox VE API, certain actions need to be performed using SSH. This requires the use of a PAM account (standard Linux account).
Proxmox VE is not currently supporting VMware disk images directly. However, you can still use them as disk images by using this workaround:
resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_file" "vmdk_disk_image" {
content_type = "iso"
datastore_id = "datastore-id"
node_name = "node-name"
source_file {
# We must override the file extension to bypass the validation code
# in the Proxmox VE API.
file_name = "vmdk-file-name.img"
path = "path-to-vmdk-file"
}
}
resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_vm" "example" {
//...
disk {
datastore_id = "datastore-id"
# We must tell the provider that the file format is vmdk instead of qcow2.
file_format = "vmdk"
file_id = "${proxmox_virtual_environment_file.vmdk_disk_image.id}"
}
//...
}Due to limitations in the Proxmox VE API, certain files need to be uploaded using SFTP. This requires the use of a PAM account (standard Linux account).
