pyproxmox

A Python wrapper for the Proxmox 2.x API

Installation and dependency

sudo pip install pyproxmox requests

Example usage

1. Import everything from the module

   from pyproxmox import *
   

2. Create an instance of the prox_auth class by passing in the url or ip of a server in the cluster, username and password

   a = prox_auth('vnode01.example.org','apiuser@pve','examplePassword')
   

3. Create and instance of the pyproxmox class using the auth object as a parameter

   b = pyproxmox(a)
   

4. Run the pre defined methods of the pyproxmox class

   status = b.getClusterStatus()
   

NOTE They all return data, usually in JSON format.

Methods requiring post_data

These methods need to passed a correctly formatted dictionary. for example, if I was to use the createOpenvzContainer for the above example node I would need to pass the post_data with all the required variables for proxmox.

post_data = {'ostemplate':'local:vztmpl/debian-6.0-standard_6.0-4_amd64.tar.gz',
            'vmid':'9001','cpus':'4','description':'test container',
            'disk':'10','hostname':'test.example.org','memory':'1024',
            'password':'testPassword','swap':'1024'}

b.createOpenvzContainer('vnode01',post_data)

For more information on the accepted variables please see http//pve.proxmox.com/pve2-api-doc/
