Netzwerk- und Computersystemadministratoren Ops-focused Proxmox VE management via REST API — monitor, control, provision, and troubleshoot VMs and LXC containers with battle-tested operational patterns.
Use when asked to:
- List, start, stop, restart VMs or LXC containers
- Check node status, cluster health, or resource usage
- Create, clone, or delete VMs and containers
- Manage snapshots, backups, storage, or templates
- Resize disks (API + in-guest filesystem steps)
- Query guest agent for IP addresses
- View tasks or system event logs
Includes helper script (pve.sh) with auto node discovery from VMID, operational safety gates (read-only vs reversible vs destructive), vmstate snapshot warnings, post-resize guest filesystem steps, and a separate provisioning reference.
Requires: curl, jq.
Credentials: PROXMOX_HOST, PROXMOX_TOKEN_ID, PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET — set as env vars or stored in ~/.proxmox-credentials (sourced at runtime, user-created, mode 600).
Writes: ~/.proxmox-credentials (user-created, API token, mode 600).
Network: connects to user-con
