Python Wrapper for the Proxmox 2.x API (HTTP and SSH)

Project description

master branch: master_build_status master_coverage_status pypi_version pypi_downloads

develop branch: develop_build_status develop_coverage_status

Proxmoxer is a python wrapper around the Proxmox REST API v2. It currently supports the Proxmox services of Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE), Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG), and Proxmox Backup Server (PBS).

It was inspired by slumber, but it is dedicated only to Proxmox. It allows not only REST API use over HTTPS, but the same api over ssh and pvesh utility.

Like Proxmoxia, it dynamically creates attributes which responds to the attributes you’ve attempted to reach.

Full Documentation is available at https://proxmoxer.github.io/docs/

Installation

pip install proxmoxer

To use the ‘https’ backend, install requests

pip install requests

To use the ‘ssh_paramiko’ backend, install paramiko

pip install paramiko

To use the ‘openssh’ backend, install openssh_wrapper

pip install openssh_wrapper

Short usage information

The first thing to do is import the proxmoxer library and create ProxmoxAPI instance.

from proxmoxer import ProxmoxAPI

proxmox = ProxmoxAPI(
    "proxmox_host", user="admin@pam", password="secret_word", verify_ssl=False
)

This will connect by default to PVE through the ‘https’ backend.

Note: ensure you have the required libraries (listed above) for the connection method you are using

Queries are exposed via the access methods get, post, put and delete. For convenience two synonyms are available: create for post, and set for put.

Using the paths from the PVE API v2, you can create API calls using the access methods above.

>>> for node in proxmox.nodes.get():
...     for vm in proxmox.nodes(node["node"]).openvz.get():
...         print "{0}. {1} => {2}".format(vm["vmid"], vm["name"], vm["status"])
...
