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This repository is a fork of https://github.com/danitso/terraform-provider-proxmox which is no longer maintained.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.

• Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.x
• TLS 1.3 for the Proxmox API endpoint
• Terraform 1.4+
• Go 1.21 (to build the provider plugin)

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 test

Tests are limited to regression tests, ensuring backwards compatibility.

A limited number of acceptance tests are available in the proxmoxtf/test directory, mostly for "new" functionality implemented using the Terraform Provider Framework. These tests are not run by default, as they require a Proxmox VE environment to be available. They can be run using make testacc, the Proxmox connection can be configured using environment variables, see provider documentation for details.

There are number of TF examples in the example directory, which can be used to deploy a Container, VM, or other Proxmox resources on your test Proxmox environment. The following assumptions are made about the test environment:

• It has one node named pve
• The node has local storages named local and local-lvm
• The "Snippets" content type is enabled in local storage

Create example/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.

If you don't have free proxmox cluster to play with, there is dedicated how-to tutorial how to setup Proxmox inside VM and run make example on it.

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).
