SOCKS5 proxy support for SSH about terraform-provider-proxmox HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @laktosterror! 👋🏼

The provider is using native golang ssh client for estabishing an SSH session, which seems to be pretty straightforward to adapt for using a SOCKS5 proxy -- I found this example after a quick googling: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36102036/how-to-connect-remote-ssh-server-with-socks-proxy.
To pass the proxy address/credentials to the SSH client we can parse them from http_proxy env. var, or alternatively have them configured via provider's arguments / provider-specific env vars.

This doesn't look like lots work, so I may squeeze this feature in one of the upcoming releases.
And thank you for the kind words! ❤️

That's great to hear @bpg!

Now that i think about it, i'm wondering if having provider-specific env var would be more flexible.
Maybe one would need to use different proxies for different tools in ones workflow, having http_proxy set might make other tools parse and use specified proxy when they don't need it.

Appreciate the consideration!
And kind words is the least i can do! 😄
