PROXMOX API

[ValentinR]

Bonjour,

Je cherche actuellement un moyen de créer des KVM sur proxmox en php.

Exemple : Un client commande un VPS un fois qu'il a payer son serveur s'installe sur nos machines avec la méthode KVM et non VZ.

Avez-vous moyen de m'expliquer comment je pourrais faire.

Cordialement,

Hello,

I am currently looking for a way to create KVM on proxmox in php.

Example: A customer orders a VPS once he has to pay his server settles on our machines with the KVM method and not VZ.

Can you explain to me how I could do it?

Regards,

see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_API for information about the api

Hello,

I have already done some research on the doc, but when I create the KVM (qemu) I do not know how I can do to finish the installation of Debian KVM.

Regards.

I have already done some research on the doc, but when I create the KVM (qemu) I do not know how I can do to finish the installation of Debian KVM.

At least two methods come to my mind:
- use a template and just clone this. Best would be to use cloudinit to customize network settings (easiest method)
- use Debian Preseed to install via netboot (most control)

You can find articles in the PVE-wiki for cloning, the preseed stuff is plain debian and has nothing do to with PVE, so you can find it in the Debian Wiki.

I simply have a template of the OS then clone it via the API.
Then configure via API eg network disk size memory etc. all set cloud-int via API and start it

It all works great

Here is an working Example for PHP:

        $vmConfigArray = array('vmid' => $next_id,
                      'agent' => $data['general']['qemu_guest_agent'],
                      'onboot' => $data['general']['start_on_boot'],
                      'cores' => $data['cpu']['cores'],
                      'cpu' => $data['cpu']['type'],
                      'kvm' => $data['cpu']['kvm'],
                      'numa' => $data['cpu']['numa'],
                      'sockets' => $data['cpu']['sockets'],
                      'cpulimit' => $data['cpu']['limit'],
                      'cpuunits' => $data['cpu']['units'],
                      'memory' => $memory_size,
                      'pool' => $data['general']['pool'],
                      'vga' => std,
                      'name' => $pendingTask['domain'],
                      'scsihw' => $data['disk']['controller_type'],
                      'storage' => $data['disk']['storage'],
                      $data['net']['controller_port'] => 'model='.$data['net']['type'].',bridge='.$data['net']['bridge'].',firewall=1,link_down=0,rate='.$rate_limit.$net_vlan,
                      $data['disk']['controller_port'] => 'file='.$data['disk']['storage'].':vm-'.$next_id.'-disk-1,backup=1,cache=writeback,discard=on,format='.$data['disk']['image'].',size='.$disk_size.'G');

        $createVM = $proxmox->create('/nodes/'.$serverDetails[hostname].'/qemu', $vmConfigArray);
