Hey,
I'm not sure I understand what you want to do, but as long as you can reach the PVE API over the network it doesn't matter where you send requests from.

Python:
@app.route("/stats")
def stats():
names = []
vmid = []
status = []
cpus = []
for pve_node in proxmox.nodes.get():
print("{0}:".format(pve_node['node']))
for container in proxmox.nodes(pve_node['node']).lxc.get():
names.append(container['name'])
vmid.append(container['vmid'])
status.append(container['status'])
cpus.append(container['cpus'])
print(container)
return render_template("stats.html",names=names,vmid=vmid,status=status,cpus=cpus)
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<thead>
<th>VMID</th>
<th>NAME</th>
<th>STATUS</th>
<th>CPUS</th>
<th>START</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
{% for i in range(vmid|length) %}
<tr>
<td>{{vmid[i]}}</td>
<td>{{names[i]}}</td>
<td>{{status[i]}}</td>
<td>{{cpus[i]}}</td>
<td><button type="button">{{names[i]}}</button></td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
</table>
</body>

What i am getting confused about is how to send the request with python for example while using the proxmoxer api i had a look in the docs but can't find an example of how this is done?
proxmox.nodes(pve_node['node']).lxc.get() this is sending the request, more specifically proxmoxer, among probably also other things, sends a request to [1] and gives you the result. Or do you mean you want to send a request to your
GET /stats endpoint? In that case you wouldn't use proxmoxer since you are interacting with your own API, not the PVE one.[1] https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html#/nodes/{node}/lxc
hmm, sorry i am still confused. getting the status is fine, the above python route and template returns this:
so all is good, my question is what needs to be sent to start container 100 (CT100) with proxmoxer api from flask?
Python:
@app.route("/startContainer")
def start():
# what do i call here to start CT100
aaaaa, I see. I'm not 100% sure but it should look something like this
the endpoint it'll end up using is [1].
[1] https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html#/nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid}/status/start
Code:
proxmox.nodes('node_name').lxc(vmid).status.start.post()[1] https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html#/nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid}/status/start
thank you that did the trick:
Python:
@app.route("/start")
def start():
proxmox.nodes('pve').lxc(100).status.start.post()
return redirect('/stats')Thank you very much.
