# Proxmox Provider
|
|
|
|
This provider for [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/) is used for interacting with resources supported by [Proxmox](https://www.proxmox.com/en/). The provider needs to be configured with the proper endpoints and credentials before it can be used.
|
|
|
|
Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
provider "proxmox" {
|
|
virtual_environment {
|
|
endpoint = "https://10.0.0.2"
|
|
username = "root@pam"
|
|
password = "the-password-set-during-installation-of-proxmox-ve"
|
|
insecure = true
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
The Proxmox provider offers a flexible means of providing credentials for authentication. The following methods are supported, in this order, and explained below:
|
|
|
|
* Static credentials
|
|
* Environment variables
|
|
|
|
### Static credentials
|
|
|
|
> Warning: Hard-coding credentials into any Terraform configuration is not recommended, and risks secret leakage should this file ever be committed to a public version control system.
|
|
|
|
Static credentials can be provided by adding a `username` and `password` in-line in the Proxmox provider block:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
provider "proxmox" {
|
|
virtual_environment {
|
|
username = "username@realm"
|
|
password = "a-strong-password"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Environment variables
|
|
|
|
You can provide your credentials via the `PROXMOX_VE_USERNAME` and `PROXMOX_VE_PASSWORD`, environment variables, representing your Proxmox username, realm and password, respectively:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
provider "proxmox" {
|
|
virtual_environment {}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ export PROXMOX_VE_USERNAME="username@realm"
|
|
$ export PROXMOX_VE_PASSWORD="a-strong-password"
|
|
$ terraform plan
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Argument Reference
|
|
|
|
In addition to [generic provider arguments](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/providers.html) (e.g. `alias` and `version`), the following arguments are supported in the Proxmox `provider` block:
|
|
|
|
* `virtual_environment` - (Optional) The Proxmox Virtual Environment configuration.
|
|
* `endpoint` - (Required) The endpoint for the Proxmox Virtual Environment API (can also be sourced from `PROXMOX_VE_ENDPOINT`).
|
|
* `insecure` - (Optional) Whether to skip the TLS verification step (can also be sourced from `PROXMOX_VE_INSECURE`). If omitted, defaults to `false`.
|
|
* `otp` - (Optional) The one-time password for the Proxmox Virtual Environment API (can also be sourced from `PROXMOX_VE_OTP`).
|
|
* `password` - (Required) The password for the Proxmox Virtual Environment API (can also be sourced from `PROXMOX_VE_PASSWORD`).
|
|
* `username` - (Required) The username and realm for the Proxmox Virtual Environment API (can also be sourced from `PROXMOX_VE_USERNAME`).
