Documentation

Install

jvc add @deckyard/proxmox

Or unpack src/ from a release archive (deckyard-proxmox-<version>.tar.gz) into vendor/deckyard/proxmox/.

Usage

use io;
import "@deckyard/proxmox/" as proxmox;

def c as proxmox.Client init proxmox.client("pve.example.com");
$c = proxmox.withCaCert($c, fs.readBytes("pve-root-ca.pem"));
$c = proxmox.withToken($c, "root@pam!automation", os.getEnv("PVE_TOKEN_SECRET"));

for (def g in proxmox.guests($c)) {
    io.printf("%6d %-20s %s\n", $g.vmid, $g.name, $g.status);
}

def web as proxmox.Guest init proxmox.guest($c, 101);
def t as proxmox.Task init proxmox.waitTask($c, proxmox.start($c, $web), 60000);
io.printf("start: %s\n", $t.exitStatus);

Requirements

Jennifer 0.25.0 or newer and the default jennifer binary: the deck needs the net capability, which jennifer-tiny lacks.

Development

tools/check-all.sh                   # the full gate, as CI runs it
jennifer test src/proxmox_test.j     # the test overlay, offline
tools/check-docs.sh                  # docs against the code
tools/pack.sh dist                   # build the release archive

The tests answer from a fake server on a loopback port. The examples need a real host; see their headers.
