SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Managing Proxmox clusters, VM lifecycle, and Talos/Kubernetes bootstrap are complex and error-prone when done manually. This Skill provides a reproducible, policy-driven automation layer to streamline provisioning, upgrades, and teardown across multi-node environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic VM provisioning and template management across a Proxmox cluster using a cluster-config.yaml backbone.
  • Talos/Kubernetes bootstrapping and upgrades integrated with Ansible, Flux, and Runbooks for end-to-end lifecycle management.
  • End-to-end lifecycle operations: cluster-create, cluster-teardown, node evacuation, Talos upgrades, and template recreation.

Quick Start

Spin up a staging Proxmox cluster using the talos-staging profile and verify all VMs reach a Ready state.

Frequently Asked Questions about proxmox-manager

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Proxmox cluster provisioning and VM lifecycle management?▼

Automate Proxmox cluster provisioning by applying a policy-driven layer using cluster-config.yaml, REST API calls, and Taskfile workflows to ensure deterministic VM creation, template management, and consistent VMIDs across pve01, pve02, and pve03.

Can I use Ansible to bootstrap Talos and Kubernetes on a Proxmox cluster?▼

Bootstrap Talos and Kubernetes on Proxmox using integrated Ansible workflows that handle cluster creation, node evacuation, and end-to-end lifecycle upgrades driven by runbooks and a centralized cluster-config.yaml file.

What is the best way to manage multi-node Proxmox cluster templates consistently?▼

Manage multi-node Proxmox templates consistently by utilizing a cluster-config.yaml backbone that enforces deterministic VMIDs and standardized topology, enabling reproducible template recreation and VM provisioning across all nodes.

Does this Proxmox automation approach support node evacuation and cluster teardown?▼

Node evacuation and cluster teardown are fully supported through runbook-driven operations and Taskfile workflows, allowing safe removal of nodes and complete teardown of Talos/Kubernetes environments.

Do I need a cluster-config.yaml file to enforce RBAC and topology in Proxmox?▼

A cluster-config.yaml file is required to drive RBAC bootstrap, enforce consistent VMIDs, and maintain cluster topology across the Proxmox environment, ensuring reproducible and policy-driven operations.
