This module includes a Bolt plugin to generate targets from Proxmox VE.

This Bolt plugin requires the proxmox-api gem to connect to the Proxmox REST API. If it is not installed, the plugin will automatically attempt to when the plugin is executed by Bolt.

You will need a token and secret, or username, password and realm to authenticate.

The Proxmox inventory plugin supports looking up running LXC and QEMU VMs. It supports several configuration properties.

• username: Do not set if using a token
• password: Do not set if using a token
• realm: Do not set if using a token
• token: Complete API token (eg. admin@pve!puppetbolt)
• secret: Token secret
• host: Hostname of the Proxmox node (any cluster member)
• port: API port (optional)
• verify_ssl: Set to false if using a self-signed certificate
• type: Filter on VM type, qemu or lxc (optional, default 'all')
• target_mapping: A hash of the target attributes to populate with resource values. Proxmox cluster/resources and node configuration attributes are available for mapping. Network interface (eg. net0, net1, ...) string value is converted to a Hash. Default mapping: name: fqdn alias: name uri: net0.ip

groups:
  - name: lxc proxmox containers at dc1
    targets:
      - _plugin: proxmox_inventory
        host: dc1.bogus.site
        username: admin
        password: supersecret
        realm: pve
        type: lxc
        target_mapping:
          name: fqdn
          uri: net0.ip
          alias: name
          vars:
            arch: arch
            type: type
  - name: all proxmox VMs at dc2
    targets:
      - _plugin: proxmox_inventory
        host: dc2.another.site
        token: admin@pve!bolt
        secret: 095ce810-4e28-11ed-bdc3-0242ac120002
        target_mapping:
          alias: vmid

Qemu: the agent service must be running on the VM to determine the IP address
