Overview

The proxmox module provide a simple way to manage Proxmox hypervisor and OpenVZ network's configuration with Puppet.

Module Description

The proxmox module automates installing Proxmox on Debian systems.

Setup

What Proxmox affects:

Package/service/configuration files for Proxmox.
A new sources.list file for Proxmox.
Proxmox's cluster (master and nodes).
System repository
The static table lookup for hostnames hosts.
Users and group permissions for WebGUI.
WebGUI's service (pveproxy).
Kernel modules loaded at the boot time.
OpenVZ's configuration file.
OpenVZ's service.
OpenVZ CT network's configuration.

Beginning with Proxmox

To begin using proxmox module with default parameters, declare the hypervisor's class with include proxmox::hypervisor.

Usage

Hypervisor

include proxmox::hypervisor

Note: The module will NOT automatically reboot the system on the PVE Kernel. You will need to reboot it manually and start again the puppet agent.

KVM only

If you will use only KVM you can have a most recent kernel with:

class { 'proxmox::hypervisor':
  kvm_only => true,
}

Disable additionnal modules

Disable all additionnal modules load at the boot time:

class { 'proxmox::hypervisor':
  pve_modules_list => [ '' ],
}

Create a cluster full KVM (for Ceph)

node "pve_node" {
  # Install an hypervisor full KVM
  class { 'proxmox::hypervisor':
    pveproxy_allow    => '127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/24',
    kvm_only          => true,
    cluster_master_ip => '192.168.0.201',
    cluster_name      => 'DeepThought',
  }
  # Access to PVE Webgui
  proxmox::hypervisor::group { 'sysadmin': role => "Administrator", users => [ 'marvin@pam', 'arthur@pam' ] }

  # SSH authorized keys between all nodes without passphrase (the module generate a key if not present)
  ssh_authorized_key { 'hyper01':

    host_aliases => 'hyper02',
  }
}

node /hyper0[12]/ inherits "pve_node" {

}

Will create a Cluster Proxmox with name "Deepthought", the master will be "hyper01". You also can manage all ssh ressources (and host) manually on each nodes.

VM

Only OpenVZ is supported right now but the vm's class will check-it by it self:

include proxmox::vm

proxmox::vm::openvz

Automatically call by the proxmox::vm class, it will manage network configuration, but only few configurations are possible:

Only one Virtual Ethernet device (aka veth) and it will work with DHCP.
If a veth is available, it will be the main network's interface (set the default gateway throught eth0).
If a veth is available, only one Virtual Network device (aka venet) as chance to work (the first one), because all others routes will be flushed.
If there are only venet: no changes.

Reference

Classes

proxmox: Main class, do nothing right now.
proxmox::hypervisor: Install the Proxmox hypervisor on the system.
proxmox::vm: Manage virtual machines and containers.

Defined types

proxmox::hypervisor::group: Manage groups for Proxmox WebGUI and set permissions.

proxmox::hypervisor::group { 'sysadmin':

proxmox::hypervisor::user: Manage user for Proxmox WebGUI.

proxmox::hypervisor::user { 'marvin':
  group => 'sysadmin',
}

Mainly used by the proxmox::hypervisor::group defined type to create the group, permissions and also create/add the users to a group. Because to add a user to a group via this defined type, the group should already exist.
