Purpose and uses

Ever needed to get a list of VMs or containers per datastore?

Why? Perhaps you need to shutdown that storage for maintenance, upgrades etc., and need to move all running machines off it (a la vSphere storage vMotion).

Then this is the tool for you.

Installation

The recommended way to install proxmox-info is to use pipx.

After getting pipx installed, simply run:

username@proxmox:~$ pipx install proxmox-info

Please don't use pip system-wide.

You can of course also install it using classic virtualenvs.

Configuration

Overview

proxmox-info is configured with a YAML-style file. An example:

host: zzz
user: zap
password: some_password

Location

The default location for the configuration is /etc/proxmox_info.yml, or proxmox_info.yml in the current working directory, but this can also be specified on the commandline.

If a non-absolute path is given, Dynaconf will iterate upwards: it will look at each parent up to the root of the system. For each visited folder, it will also try looking inside a /config folder.

Supported versions

proxmox-info supports the following VE versions:

VE version	Debian version	Python version	VE EoL
8	12 (Bookworm)	3.11	TBA
7	11 (Bullseye)	3.9	2024-07
