Get node id

[dennyreiter]

Is there an easy way to determine what the node id is? I'm working on an Ansible script where a template is created to then create a VM. Since I have multiple nodes, I would like to create the template with a unique vmid, for instance the template on node 1 would be 8001, on node 4 would be 8004, etc. I was hoping for something by running

pvesm

to retrieve the value. The closest I've found so far is a list from

pvesh get /cluster/status

Thanks

pvesh is the way to go, does the output not provide you what you want?

I'm basically looking for something that will return '4' so I know what node this is.

root@pve-1:~# pvesh get /cluster/status --output-format json|jq --arg HOST $HOSTNAME '.[]|select(.name == $HOST)|.nodeid'
1

PS I have doubts about the entire approach of trying to tie semi-random numerical IDs , but if thats what you'd like to do - do it.
