[SOLVED] Proxmox PHP API - Create lxc container.

[Sharminte]

Hello, I have a problem with creation of LXC container via PHP.

API is connectig correctly with pve, because i can start / stop existing container, i am able to list nodes, and check what VIM is next. but while creating LXC i receive bool(false) value.

My code look's like that:

<?php
require ('pve-1/pve2_api.class.php');

$pve2 = new PVE2_API("SERVER_ADRESS", "USERNAME", "pam", "PASSWORD");

$pve2->login();

if ($pve2->login()) {

    # Get first node name.
    $nodes = $pve2->get_node_list();
    $first_node = $nodes[0];
    unset($nodes);

$nextVMID = $pve2->get_next_vmid();


    $new_container_settings = array();
    $new_container_settings['ostemplate'] = "local:vztmpl/ubuntu-16.04-standard_16.04-1_amd64.tar.gz";
    $new_container_settings['vmid'] = $nextVMID;
    $new_container_settings['cpus'] = "2";
    $new_container_settings['description'] = "Test VM using Proxmox 2.0 API";
    $new_container_settings['disk'] = "8";
    $new_container_settings['hostname'] = "testapi.domain.tld";
    $new_container_settings['memory'] = "1024";
    $new_container_settings['nameserver'] = "10.11.12.252";
    // print_r($new_container_settings);
    print("---------------------------\n");

    var_dump($pve2->post("/nodes/".$first_node."/lxc/", $new_container_settings));
    print("\n\n");

// print_r($pve2->post("/nodes/".$first_node."/lxc/107/status/start", array()));     // start lxc
// print_r($pve2->post("/nodes/".$first_node."/lxc/107/status/stop", array()));     // stop lxc
} else {
    print("Login to Proxmox Host failed.\n");
    exit;
}

Any Idea what could i do wrong ?

if you have problems with an api client, i would ask the maintainer/creator of that client (ideally you would get the error message from the api back somehow)

in this case i would guess it is due to the parameter 'disk' which does not exist for containers but it should be 'rootfs' maybe?

Thanks
So basicly to work correctly I have made these changes:

$new_container_settings = array();
    $new_container_settings['ostemplate'] = "local:vztmpl/ubuntu-16.04-standard_16.04-1_amd64.tar.gz";
    $new_container_settings['vmid'] = $nextVMID;
    $new_container_settings['hostname'] = "test";
    $new_container_settings['cores'] = "1";
    $new_container_settings['memory'] = "512";
    $new_container_settings['swap'] = "512";
    $new_container_settings['rootfs'] = "local-zfs:20";                                                        
    $new_container_settings['net0'] = "bridge=vmbr0,name=eth0,ip=dhcp,ip6=dhcp";                              
    $new_container_settings['searchdomain'] = "8.8.8.8";                                                        
    $new_container_settings['nameserver'] = "8.8.4.4";

Hy guys, i use the same method to start, stop suspend an ct / lxc but i got a problem i truly dont fiind how to destroy an lxc / ct

this is my code, i use it for whmcs to some product we made, we have proxmox 3 and 5 the start/stop/suspend works perfect but terminate/destroy no and i dont figure out how to do it.

require("pve2_api.class.php");

....

$pve2 = new PVE2_API("$serverip", "$serverusername", "pam", "$serverpassword");
$pve2->login();

if ($pve2->login()) {
$nodes = $pve2->get_node_list();
$first_node = $nodes[0];
$versiune = $pve2->get_version();

if ("$versiune" < "5") {
print_r($pve2->post("/nodes/$first_node/openvz/$vmid/delete", array()));
} else {
print_r($pve2->post("/nodes/$first_node/lxc/$vmid/delete", array()));
}


i tryed with delete and destroy and nothink.

Thank you.

Edit: Founded the solution is instead of post put delete

Now the big question is hot do i clone an lxc ?

Founded the problem, or i didnt understood the api ori the api is explained wrong.

$data = array(
'newid' => "$nextVMID",
'hostname' => '$serviceid",
'full' => "1"
);

print_r($pve2->post("/nodes/$first_node/lxc/1000/clone", $data));

if you dont use full you wil get error
