Proxmox SDN support in ansible
- Thread starter damo2929
- Start date
they are no official ansible playbook managed by proxmox team.
do you have a link to a public ansible playbook ?
sdn currently can be manage through rest api, but they are no command line like "qm , pct, pvesm, ...". (I don't known how ansible playbooks are implemented currently)

proxmox in ansible is currently in the community.general module
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/index.html#plugin-index
classes currently
if a module could be built for the SDN this would put proxmox's on feature parity in ansible to VMware.
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/index.html#plugin-index
classes currently
- proxmox module – management of instances in Proxmox VE cluster
- proxmox_domain_info module – Retrieve information about one or more Proxmox VE domains
- proxmox_group_info module – Retrieve information about one or more Proxmox VE groups
- proxmox_kvm module – Management of Qemu(KVM) Virtual Machines in Proxmox VE cluster.
- proxmox_nic module – Management of a NIC of a Qemu(KVM) VM in a Proxmox VE cluster.
- proxmox_snap module – Snapshot management of instances in Proxmox VE cluster
- proxmox_storage_info module – Retrieve information about one or more Proxmox VE storage
- proxmox_tasks_info module – Retrieve information about one or more Proxmox VE tasks
- proxmox_template module – management of OS templates in Proxmox VE cluster
- proxmox_user_info module – Retrieve information about one or more Proxmox VE users

I have check the code
https://github.com/ansible-collecti...ef4cb7c4521c60888a/plugins/modules/cloud/misc
They currently use the proxmoxer python api
https://github.com/proxmoxer/proxmoxer
So, they use rest api of proxmox
So, technically, it's already possible to implement the sdn features in ansible.
note that sdn it's still beta, but I think api are enough mature, and will not change in the future.
Maybe some new options for zone plugins will be added, but the main features (zones,vnets,controllers,..) will not change anymore.
Maybe try to request the feature on ansible github, I can give support for developpers if they have questions. (I'm not an python expert, so I can't code the feature myself)

Hello there, first of all sorry for bringing this topic back to life.
Two years later, with the new 8.1 release and the officialisation of the SDN plugin, I'm also wondering if someone made or heard about a way to manage proxmox SDN features through Ansible or OpenTofu ?
I'm not that good with Python and don't have a lot of time to start coding something but if there's an already existing project, I'll be happy to contribute

I have a feature request on the audible community site you can up vote
Hi everyone,
Coming back to you with this : https://github.com/Analepse129/proxmox-sdn-modules
It's still a work in progress but the base works.
I'm struggling a bit implementing the api options that are "enum" type, if you have ideas or example I'll be very happy to take them
