Hi community,
pretty new to Proxmox with Ansible and have a few questions:
First of all, I'm unsure if I use the collection community.proxmox correctly. I want to use the API using API tokens (which work).
So I guess I need to delegate my proxmox tasks to `localhost`. Otherwise, the Ansible control node tries to connect to the inventory host (e.g. the Proxmox node) via SSH and issue the REST command there. Example:
My strategy is, to use my target VMs I want to deploy as Ansible play targets.
My second question is: Is there an elegant way to detect which PVE node to use as
I could choose the first one as
Playing around with looping over all PVE nodes and checking the node info using
However I'm wondering, if there is an easy, builtin way?

My second question is: Is there an elegant way to detect which PVE node to use as
api_hostin the tasks? For example, my Datacenter consists of three nodes. I could choose the first one as
api_host, but what if this one is not available (e.g. maintenance)? I want Ansible to use the "first available" PVE node.Playing around with looping over all PVE nodes and checking the node info using
