proxmox-ansible

setup

this collection is to be used just like ansible galaxy or cloned into ./collections/ansible_collections/inett/pve The namespace is inett.pve

usage

VMs are part of the inventory in the form of normal hosts, but contained special groups, configured with variables.

groups

• pve_nodes must contain Proxmox VE nodes
• pve_vms all vms to be deployed/removed must be inside this group

playbooks

• vms_setup: basic setup for VMs

roles

• inett.pve.cluster_group: gather facts about Proxmox VE nodes and group them by cluster name
• inett.pve.vm_prepare_facts: assigns VMs to target nodes, set and merge some facts
• inett.pve.vms: set up VMs and group them by target state
• inett.pve.vm_disks: resize and create SCSI disks
• inett.pve.vm_cloudinit: ensure state of cloud-init drive
• inett.pve.vms_finish: wait for VMs (timeout if pve_vm_wait is an integer, connection (Linux) if pve_vm_wait is set to "connect") and finish setup

variables

pve_nodes

vm_storage and efivars_storage are automatically merged by the role inett.pve.vm_prepare_facts from the target node to the VM.
