These playbooks setup proxmox the way I use it, together with VM templates, containers and VMs. These playbooks are tailored to my needs in the first place, so many proxmox features are unsupported, as I do not use them. Feel free to propose changes for new features in the Issues section.
You should have Ansible installed on a the system that will run the playbook.
To install the prerequisites, run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml.
Make a copy of the inventories/sample directory, and give it a representative name.
Modify the hosts.yml file in the inventory, and add your Proxmox host.
For best results, make sure you have your public key set on the Proxmox host for authentication, using ssh-copy-id proxmox-host. For more info on setting up an inventory file, check out the documentation from Ansible here.
Modify the host_vars and group_vars files according to your desired setup. For a full list of available vars, check the documentation here.
Once the inventory and variables are setup, run the playbook using ansible-playbook playbooks/setup.yml -i inventories/<name>/hosts.ym;.
You can add --ask-ssh-pass / -k if you don't have a public ssh key setup on the proxmox host, and --ask-pass / -K if running with a non-root user.
The playbook also supports ansible tags, which can be used to run parts of the playbook only. The current available tags are:
setup- runs only the setup part of the playbooktemplates- creates VM templates from cloud-init-ready imagesstorage- downloads ISOs and CT templatesvms- creates and updates the configuration for VMscontainers- creates and updates the configuration for containers
