Hi there,
Any way to clone an existing qemu template?
Tried something like :
node.qemu.clone.post(vmid=602)
But got an
ResourceException: 501 Not Implemented: b'{"data":null}'

Thanks!

Right now, specifying a hostname with a port causes the API URL to have both the default port parameter and the one specified in the hostname. A module directly affected by this is the Ansible proxmox_kvm module which currently doesn't allow specifying a port.

I know the issue actually is with the Ansible module, but you might as well just add this here since it is a small change makes it more versatile.

Hi,

this is a small issue, but I think its worth knowing.
The following post request returns None, unlike the other requests which always return an Unique Task ID
'''
taskID = proxmox.connection.nodes("...").qemu("...").template.post()
'''
Best regards

At least when trying to get proxmoxer runnning via the https Backend, it will fail if it is used with an IPv6 address. The port check is failing in HTTPS-Backend.

I would offer to fix this issue, but stating the not accepted PRs in this project, I will do so only if I get some kind of response beforehand.

Extending the example of creating an LXC container with ssh-public-keys yields the error
SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression

I have a patch prepared for documenting how to handle ssh-public-keys.

In this issue I can tell more then in a commit message of the upcoming pull request.

First time I encounter the SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression
I wrongly thought it was Python detecting an arithmetic operation.
So I tried to solve it outside the Python code, request rewrites with mitmproxy and even modifying the proxmox API code.

With my patch on README.rst I hope that others can easy use proxmoxer and SSH keys in the created container.

Hi!
Here is code from proxmoxer/backends/https.py:78

        if isinstance(v, file):

The problem is that there is no 'file' class in python3.
There are some way to solve that problem:

1. use io.IOBase:

import io

     if isinstance(v, io.IOBase):

that will drop python < 2.6
2) use separate function for each python:

import sys

if sys.version_info[0] >= 3:
    import io
    def is_file(obj): return isinstance(obj, io.IOBase)
else: 
    def is_file(obj): return isinstance(obj, file)

Unfortunatly, I cannot upload patch to make pull requests, so I write it here.

As titled, currently we are suffering N+1 problem when we want to retrieve all config within a big pool.

Hi,

is there a (good) reason why verify=False on https auth?

Otherwise I'd suggest:

Here is a way to retrieve the content of the response in case of non 400 response from the API ?
For example when you create a new Qemu virtual machine and the storage volume do not exist the API return a code 500 with a message like "volume do not exist"

Hi there,

when writing proxtop [1] I noticed that your example -- from the README.rst -- to get all VMs did not work:

print("your example")
for node in proxmox.nodes.get():
    for vm in proxmox.nodes(node['node']).openvz.get():
        print("{0}. {1} => {2}" .format(vm['vmid'], vm['name'], vm['status']))
    print("--")

Yields:

your example
--
--
--

Instead, I used this:

print("my example")
for vm in proxmox.cluster.resources.get(type='vm'):
    print("{0}. {1} => {2}" .format(vm['vmid'], vm['name'], vm['status']))

Which yields:

127. private-herman => running
276. acme-bugs-bunny => stopped
443. acme-elmer-fudd => running

Thanks for the API B.T.W.! When comparing it, I favored it over the pyproxmox competition [2].

Reason:

Yes, the "GET /nodes/{nodename}/version" call changed it's return format a bit, from PVE 5:

# pvesh get /nodes/dev5/version --output-format=json-pretty
{
   "release" : "11",
   "repoid" : "6df3d8d0",
   "version" : "5.4"
}

pvesh get /nodes/dev6/version --output-format=json-pretty
{
   "release" : "6.0",
   "repoid" : "c148050a",
   "version" : "6.0-1"
}

In short, the relase is now the main Proxmox VE relase (6.0 or 6.1 for example) repoid stayed the same and version is the full current manager version, (i.e., what the concatenation of "release" and "version" from the old 5.X call)

see https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-manager.git;a=commitdiff;h=b597d23d354665ddea247c3ad54ece1b84921768 for full details.

hi,
im using backend openssh, let proxmoxer connect to a server, and call for example /nodes (also tryed other urls with same result); i get the data of the proxmox-node im connected too, but after that i get 500 internal server error.

i think somehow proxmoxer or something on the node is trying to connect to the other nodes, and fails. but thats just a theory.

here is some output; i'm using proxmox-deploy which is a small tool also hosted on github.

I'm running PVE manager version pve-manager/3.4-13/4c74557.

HI,
I try to get the config of the current vm in stead of pending ones

pve api says
current - boolean - 0 - Get current values (instead of pending values).

so I did
vm_config = self.proxmox.nodes(node_name).qemu(vm_id).config.get(current="true")

but it fails...
only 0 and 1 are accepted from current. But True should be supported too or not ?
Please point me to my fault.

In recent versions of the Proxmox API, several commands containing dashes have appeared, specially in the qemu->agent section. I'm unable to use them, since python sees the dash as a substraction operator.
It would be great if proxmoxer converted underscore params to dashes, so we could call it like this:
...qemu(100).agent.network_get_interfaces.get()
And be converted to this:
...qemu/{vmid}/agent/network-get-interfaces

Hi there folks, I'm facing issues when trying to add a new additional hard disk to an already created VM. I browsed through https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/ and understood the structure but getting 501 Not Implemented: {"data":null}

headIds = array('i', [3302])

    headId = 'proxmox-' + str(HEAD)
    print('proxmox-node -->' + headId, ' | VMID -->' + str(vmId))

    qemu_node = proxmox.nodes(headId)
    vm_config_old = qemu_node.qemu(vmIds[vmIdIdx]).config.get()
    print('Host details before adding disk')
    pp.pprint(vm_config_old)

#     pp.pprint(qemu_node.storage.get(storage='xxx-xxxx-vol-xx1')) # This line prints fine
    qemu_node.storage.content.create(filename='var/lib/docker-config',

Proxmox can return HTTP status 599, which is not defined in any RFC, but fairly commonly used. Proxmoxer doesn't handle this correctly as it has no safeguards around looking up the httpstatus code in http.client. Code can be found in core.py lines 77-79

if resp.status_code >= 400:
            raise ResourceException("{0} {1}: {2}".format(resp.status_code, httplib.responses[resp.status_code],
                                                          resp.content))

suggestion would be to check if resp.status_code is in httplib.responses, and if not, throw a different error

Hello

I would like to know where I can find the list of arguments, notably for "netif" like in:

    net0='name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,ip=192.168.22.1/20,gw=192.168.16.1')

As mentioned in #26 I also have 401 Unauthorized errors due to the session timing out.

Is it possible to implement a fix for this? There are already some suggestions mentioned in that issue.

What is the current status of this project? Is it still being actively maintained?

Hello.

I've noticed that the tarball released on pypi (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/proxmoxer) is missing the LICENSE file; besides being useful to check the actual terms of the license, this incidentally makes that tarball non redistributable, as it's missing the notice required by the license itself.

I think it would also be nice to include the tests directory in the tarball: while not everybody needs them, I often find them useful as documentation and to check that a module has been correctly installed (and they would make my life easier when packaging proxmoxer for debian).

Thanks in advance.

First, I am pretty new to Python and Proxmox, so I am not sure if this is an issue or just my experience. I apologize in advance for any offense.

I am using the base sample code to get to the /node/nodename/qemu/vmname/config so that I can pull the net0 key in the dictionary and parse the value.

Here is my code.

for node in proxmox.nodes.get():
for vm in proxmox.nodes(node['node']).qemu.get():
print('nodes/{0}/qemu/{1}/config'.format(node['node'], vm['vmid']))
f = proxmox.get('nodes/{0}/qemu/{1}/config'.format(node['node'], vm['vmid']))
print (f)

Here is my output:

nodes/pve5/qemu/116/config
<proxmoxer.core.ProxmoxResource object at 0x0000000003FB04A8>

If I run the same in pvesh, I get the dictionary object back, no problem, but I don't want to install pvesh onto the vms.

Is there something that I need to add to my GET request:
proxmox.get('nodes/{0}/qemu/{1}/config'.format(node['node'], vm['vmid']))

In order to get the config dictionary? I have also tried several different ways of getting to the dictionary.
For example, print(f.dict), just gives me

{'_store': {'session': <proxmoxer.backends.https.ProxmoxHttpSession object at 0x00000000035390B8>, 'serializer': <proxmoxer.backends.https.JsonSerializer object at 0x00000000030764A8>, 'base_url': 'https://pve1.int.wscnet.com:8006/api2/json/get/nodes/pve5/qemu/117/config'}}
nodes/pve5/qemu/116/config

I have searched all over and have not found a single example of people attempting this, which I could leverage.

Thanks in advance,

The link to the PVE API docs (contained in the GH description; and on Pypi) is no longer valid. I.e.:

python wrapper for Proxmox API v2 (http://pve.proxmox.com/pve2-api-doc/)

General PVE API info is on their wiki:

And the full PVE API docs now appear to be here:

Hi,
I get with the newest proxmox version the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/root/proxmox-dokuwiki-exporter.py", line 27, in <module>
    for node in proxmox.nodes.get():
  File "/root/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/proxmoxer/core.py", line 84, in get
    return self(args)._request("GET", params=params)
  File "/root/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/proxmoxer/core.py", line 79, in _request
    resp.content))
proxmoxer.core.ResourceException: 500 Internal Server Error: 

As message In the server error I get a full graph of my cluster (here redacted). what the hell?!

The line that triggers this error is this one here: for node in proxmox.nodes.get():

i have some problems with custom post request
code example

    nextid = proxmox.cluster.nextid.get()
    node5 = proxmox.nodes('proxmox5')
    node5.qemu.create(
        '/api2/json/nodes/proxmox5/qemu/%s/clone' % template_id,
        data={'newid': nextid}
    )

answer:

proxmoxer.core.ResourceException: 400 Bad Request: b'{"data":null,"errors":{"data":"property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties","newid":"property is missing and it is not optional"}}'

problem in data parameter.

/api2/json/nodes/proxmox5/qemu/100/clone {'data': {'newid': '102'}}

but need

/api2/json/nodes/proxmox5/qemu/100/clone {'newid': '102'}

Hello,
I have this code:

for node in proxmox.nodes.get():                     
    for vm in proxmox.nodes(node['node']).qemu.get():
        print(vm)

Why do I get a 500 internal server error for some servers?

After running for a while, this package will start getting 401 Unauthorized errors due to the session timing out. We need a function to renew the session that we can call periodically, say every 30 minutes.

I have the following code:

proxmox.get('nodes', node['node'], 'qemu', vm['vmid'], 'config', 'description')                

shouldn't this work? I try to get the information in /nodes/<node>/qemu/<vmid>/config/description, but instead I get this TypeError Exception:

2018-11-23 16:23:44,652 DEBUG:paramiko.transport: [chan 1] EOF sent (1)

TypeError: __call__() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 7 were given    

Is it possible to get a more specific error message for when this kind of errors happen?

when i try to create a VM with this code i get a message :

When using Proxmoxer via the ssh method, if your local is not available on the Proxmox host then there's some warnings in the stderr that's returned to the call site, which results in the code thinking that it's a fatal error and returns a 500 status in the response.

ipdb> full_cmd
'pvesh get /nodes/proxmox15/qemu'
ipdb> n
> proxmoxer/backends/base_ssh.py(46)request()
     45         stdout, stderr = self._exec(full_cmd)
---> 46         try:
     47             status_code = int(stderr.split()[0])

ipdb> stderr
'perl: warning: Setting locale failed.\nperl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:\n\tLANGUAGE = (unset),\n\tLC_ALL = (unset),\n\tLC_TIME = "en_GB.UTF-8",\n\tLANG = "en_US.UTF-8"\n    are supported and installed on your system.\nperl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_US.UTF-8").\n200 OK'

which ends up causing:

I get the following when I have a bad authentication

This isn't very useful for dealing with authentication errors. raising a AuthenticationError or having a way to check if the authentication was successful would likely be more appropriate. Now to catch a authentication error I have to wrap the authentication in a

try:
    # build the proxmoxapi object here
except TypeError:
    # It seems like other things could raise this exception

Perhaps this is too nit picky or maybe there is a better way to deal with this is python but I think it would be nice to raise an AuthenticationError when this occurs.

hi

does proxmoxer currently handle KVM vms via the Ansible contrib module?

ansible/ansible-modules-extras#1004

#7 (comment)

There is possiblity to add 2FA to PVE, for example Google Authenticator.
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/OATH(TOTP)_Authentication
https://jonspraggins.com/the-idiot-adds-two-factor-authentication-to-proxmox/
I guess that this will protect somhow even API.
Any idea how to solve this ?

Running the tests (from the relased tarball proxmoxer-1.0.2.tar.gz) with nosetests3 tests.https_tests tests.paramiko_tests I get the following failure (nosetests with python2 gives a similar, but not identical error):

======================================================================

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

Am I correct in understanding that this is because the test suite is expecting a proxmox server at proxmox, which other people are probably not going to have.

Should it be mentioned somewhere in the docs, (and/or in a comment in the code)?

prox.nodes('pve1').lxc(500).clone.create(newid=501, full=True, hostname="worker1", pool="workers")

results in:

Hello folks!

I'm trying to use this library to automate some tasks but I don't know if proxmoxer is still maintained nor still working with the proxmox version 6.x

I'm importing proxmoxer as mentioned in the ReadMe in a python3.7 environment and I'm getting errors all the time.

Best regards

Hi,

Using Proxmoxer:

{u'node': u'kvm-03', u'status': u'running', u'uptime': 881010, u'hastate': u'started', u'name': u'X-vm', u'maxcpu': 2, u'diskread': 8949149848, u'mem': 3554562048, u'vmid': 111, u'netin': 1252519321, u'cpu': 0.00837704669003285, u'diskwrite': 19621984256, u'template': 0, u'netout': 895871658, u'disk': 0, u'type': u'qemu', u'id': u'qemu/111', u'maxdisk': 32212254720, u'maxmem': 4294967296}

The u'disk' is empty. Using pvesh get /cluster/resources/ I can see the disk space.
How would I fix this?

EDIT:

For nodes it works, but not for VM's.
{u'node': u'kvm-01', u'status': u'online', u'uptime': 516716, u'maxcpu': 24, u'level': u'', u'mem': 11441430528, u'id': u'node/kvm-01', u'disk': 10191282176, u'type': u'node', u'cpu': 0.0568762327337271, u'maxdisk': 17568661504, u'maxmem': 50626011136}

Thank you!

sshkeys for qemu hosts

Python3 code!
For using the SSH keys for configuring cloud-init qemu host, the sshkey needs to be encrypted with urllib.parse.quote and then all '/' replaced.
ssh_key=urllib.parse.quote(ssh_key).replace('/', '%2F')

This is not really issue, it is notice for others as there is no Wiki.
