============================
Getting Started With Proxmox
============================
Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete server virtualization management solution,
based on OpenVZ(in Proxmox up to 3.4)/LXC(from Proxmox 4.0 and up) and full virtualization with KVM.
Further information can be found at:
http://www.proxmox.org/
Dependencies
============
* IPy >= 0.81
* requests >= 2.2.1
Please note:
This module allows you to create OpenVZ/LXC containers and KVM VMs, but installing Salt on it will only be
done on containers rather than a KVM virtual machine.
* Set up the cloud configuration at
``/etc/salt/cloud.providers`` or
``/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/proxmox.conf``:
.. code-block:: yaml
my-proxmox-config:
# Set up the location of the salt master
#
minion:
master: saltmaster.example.com
# Set the PROXMOX access credentials (see below)
#
user: myuser@pve
password: badpass
# Set the access URL for your PROXMOX host
#
url: your.proxmox.host
driver: proxmox
.. note::
.. versionchanged:: 2015.8.0
The ``provider`` parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to ``driver``. This
change was made to avoid confusion with the ``provider`` parameter that is used in cloud profile
definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use ``driver`` to refer to the Salt cloud module that
provides the underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue
to use ``provider`` to refer to provider configurations that you define.
Access Credentials
==================
The ``user``, ``password``, and ``url`` will be provided to you by your cloud
host. These are all required in order for the PROXMOX driver to work.
Cloud Profiles
==============
Set up an initial profile at ``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles`` or
``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/proxmox.conf``:
* Configure a profile to be used:
.. code-block:: yaml
proxmox-ubuntu:
provider: my-proxmox-config
image: local:vztmpl/ubuntu-12.04-standard_12.04-1_amd64.tar.gz
technology: lxc
# host needs to be set to the configured name of the proxmox host
# and not the ip address or FQDN of the server
host: myvmhost
ip_address: 192.168.100.155
password: topsecret
The profile can be realized now with a salt command:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt-cloud -p proxmox-ubuntu myubuntu
This will create an instance named ``myubuntu`` on the cloud host. The
minion that is installed on this instance will have a ``hostname`` of ``myubuntu``.
If the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically
be signed on the master.
Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to
it can be verified with Salt:
.. code-block:: bash
# salt myubuntu test.ping
Required Settings
=================
The following settings are always required for PROXMOX:
* Using the new cloud configuration format:
.. code-block:: yaml
my-proxmox-config:
driver: proxmox
user: saltcloud@pve
password: xyzzy
url: your.proxmox.host
Optional Settings
=================
Unlike other cloud providers in Salt Cloud, Proxmox does not utilize a
``size`` setting. This is because Proxmox allows the end-user to specify a
more detailed configuration for their instances, than is allowed by many other
cloud providers. The following options are available to be used in a profile,
with their default settings listed.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Description of the instance.
desc: <instance_name>
# How many CPU cores, and how fast they are (in MHz)
cpus: 1
cpuunits: 1000
# How many megabytes of RAM
memory: 256
# How much swap space in MB
swap: 256
# Whether to auto boot the vm after the host reboots
onboot: 1
# Size of the instance disk (in GiB)
disk: 10
# Host to create this vm on
host: myvmhost
# Nameservers. Defaults to host
nameserver: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
# Username and password
ssh_username: root
password: <value from PROXMOX.password>
# The name of the image, from ``salt-cloud --list-images proxmox``
image: local:vztmpl/ubuntu-12.04-standard_12.04-1_amd64.tar.gz
# Whether or not to verify the SSL cert on the Proxmox host
verify_ssl: False
# Network interfaces, netX
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,ip=dhcp
QEMU
====
Some functionnalities works differently if you use 'qemu' as technology. In order to create a new VM with qemu, you need to specificy some more information.
You can also clone a qemu template which already is on your Proxmox server.
QEMU profile file (for a new VM):
.. code-block:: yaml
proxmox-win7:
# Image of the new VM
image: image.iso # You can get all your available images using 'salt-cloud --list-images provider_name' (Ex: 'salt-cloud --list-images my-proxmox-config')
# Technology used to create the VM ('qemu', 'openvz'(on Proxmox <4.x) or 'lxc'(on Proxmox 4.x+))
technology: qemu
# Proxmox node name
host: node_name
# Proxmox password
password: your_password
# Workaround https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/27821
size: ''
# RAM size (MB)
memory: 2048
# OS Type enum (other / wxp / w2k / w2k3 / w2k8 / wvista / win7 / win8 / l24 / l26 / solaris)
ostype: win7
# Hard disk location
sata0: <location>:<size>, format=<qcow2/vmdk/raw>, size=<size>GB #Example: local:120,format=qcow2,size=120GB
#CD/DVD Drive
ide2: <content_location>,media=cdrom #Example: local:iso/name.iso,media=cdrom
# Network Device
net0:<model>,bridge=<bridge> #Example: e1000,bridge=vmbr0
# Enable QEMU Guest Agent (0 / 1)
agent: 1
# VM name
name: Test
More information about these parameters can be found on Proxmox API (http://pve.proxmox.com/pve2-api-doc/) under the 'POST' method of nodes/{node}/qemu
QEMU profile file (for a clone):
.. code-block:: yaml
proxmox-win7:
# Enable Clone
clone: True
# New VM description
clone_description: 'description'
# New VM name
clone_name: 'name'
# New VM format (qcow2 / raw / vmdk)
clone_format: qcow2
# Full clone (1) or Link clone (0)
clone_full: 0
# VMID of Template to clone
clone_from: ID
# Technology used to create the VM ('qemu' or 'lxc')
technology: qemu
# Proxmox node name
host: node_name
# Proxmox password
password: your_password
# Workaround https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/27821
size: ''
More information can be found on Proxmox API under the 'POST' method of /nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/clone
.. note::
The Proxmox API offers a lot more options and parameters, which are not yet
supported by this salt-cloud 'overlay'. Feel free to add your contribution
by forking the github repository and modifying the following file:
``salt/cloud/clouds/proxmox.py``
An easy way to support more parameters for VM creation would be to add the
names of the optional parameters in the 'create_nodes(vm\_)' function, under
the 'qemu' technology. But it requires you to dig into the code ...
