Configure Proxmox server with Ansible/Terraform

[tomjons]

Hi, there is a lot of information online about how to provision servers with Ansible and Terraform. However, I cannot find any information on how to configure the Proxmox Server itself using its own API. Is it possible, or does it always require manual GUI configuration? I'm looking to automate tasks such as creating users, implementing high availability, managing disks, and handling backups.
I will appreciate if someone can share the code.

Hi,
maybe this thread might be of interest to you: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-with-terraform-and-ansible.132028/

Note however that there is no official Terraform integration for Proxmox VE.

Maybe you have more explicit points, those you mentioned are very easy.

creating users

LDAP, OAuth2 and automatic account creation, once configured in a cluster automatically inherited.

high availability

It's just pvecm add <another node>

managing disks

use a SAN

backups

With PBS, all new VMs are already backed up.
