Customize Proxmo WebUI

[DaniMa]

Hello guys, I started my project thesis and I wanted to work with Proxmox. I'm using a cluster with three nodes and I've created a VM which uses Ansible in order to create VMs in any node, the playbook is working fine and I'm about to do a web app with a form which would call the ansible playbook to create the machines. What I want to do is adding to the WebUI a tab or an iframe where this web is shown so the users can create the VMs just by clicking on that tab inside the WebUI. I don't want the user to use the VM with ansible itself but the form inside the WebUI. I hope you can help me!

The only option I know is to add a markdown link in the comments field. Embedding/iframe is always a very bad idea security wise.

Thanks for your advice! This Proxmox is a virtualization inside another Proxmox, I don't think security would be a problem there!

Well, but it's possible to do right? Other option is using the RestAPI to create a new API on top of the WebUI, am I wrong?

WebUI uses REST API to manage PVE backend. You could create new limited UI frontend in your favorite language/web server using REST API to talk directly to PVE backend, bypassing GUI.
