Handling config object of vm about proxmoxer HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello Bill,

I had a very similar problem to the one that you did and was pretty frustrated. This issue helped me understand the design of this wrapper better, so I am responding with my solution:

Use the interactive python interpreter to inspect the proxmox object. I did this by putting a breakpoint in my script import pdb; pdb.set_trace() after I had instantiated it. As you observed, one of the attributes of proxmox object is base_url. The README touches on various different ways to construct a query, but doesn't really explain what is going on under the hood or how to invoke the verbs.

proxmox.get('nodes/{0}/qemu/{1}/config'.format(node['node'], vm['vmid'])) could also be constructed as: proxmox.nodes(node['node']).qemu(vm['vmid']).config.get() (without the variable interpolation).

Your construction (the former) results in: 'base_url': 'https://pve1.int.wscnet.com:8006/api2/json/get/nodes/pve5/qemu/117/config'. Note that 'get' has been inserted into the url after 'json'.

The latter construction results in: 'base_url': 'https://pve1.int.wscnet.com:8006/api2/json/nodes/pve5/qemu/117/config' and then subsequently invokes the GET verb on the url.

Manipulating the proxmox object in the interactive interpreter was key to understanding how to construct the url that I wanted. By thinking of the proxmox object as the base url and the subsequent attributes as elements for constructing the url, I was able to observe how the urls were constructed and how to successfully invoke the get() method.

Thanks for the wrapper @swayf!

Thank you Jarrod for the help with explanation =).. So I close the issue for now

how we can use base url with CREATE ?
