proxmox

Overview

The proxmox module provide a simple way to manage Proxmox hypervisor and (soon) it's virtual machines (KVM/OpenVZ) with Puppet.

Module Description

The proxmox module automates installing Proxmox on Debian systems.

Setup

What proxmox affects:

  • Package/service/configuration files for Proxmox
  • A new sources.list file for Proxmox
  • System repository
  • The static table lookup for hostnames hosts

Beginning with proxmox

To begin using proxmox module with default parameters, declare the hypervisor's class with include proxmox::hypervisor.

Usage

Hypervisor

class { 'proxmox::hypervisor':

}

If you will use only KVM you can have a most recent kernel with:

class { 'proxmox::hypervisor':
  kvm_only => true,
}

Note: The module will automatically reboot the system on the PVE Kernel. You will need to start again the puppet agent.
