Ansible-Molecule Proxmox-VE Driver

This repository holds an Ansible-Molecule driver for Proxmox-VE.

It enables you to dynamically create VM's on latest Proxmox-VE nodes and target them with integration-tests.

Install

First, you have to install these ansible-collections:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.proxmox>=2.0.0
ansible-galaxy collection install oxlorg.molecule_pve

# or
ansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.proxmox.git,2.0.0
ansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/O-X-L/ansible-molecule-pve-utils.git

Authors / Credits

This is a fork of the molecule-proxmox module, which was originally created by Michael Meffie.

It was modified and enhanced by Pascal Rath.

We decided to create this fork, as the original module is not in a functional state with current default ansible-installations.

So we refactored it to make it work with the currently supported community.proxmox Ansible-collection.

We also implemented some enhancements:

• async/parallel creation/start/destroy of Test-VMs to speed-up execution
• support form platform-specific /etc/hosts entries
• some config-sanity checks
