Proxmox Review and Deployment Summary

Overview

This document summarizes the current state of Proxmox infrastructure, configuration review, and deployment planning for both Proxmox instances.

Proxmox Instances

Instance 1

• API URL: https://192.168.11.10:8006
• User: root (from ENV_EXAMPLES.md)
• Configuration: Defined in .env as PROXMOX_1_* variables
• Status: To be verified

Instance 2

• API URL: https://192.168.11.11:8006
• User: root (from ENV_EXAMPLES.md)
• Configuration: Defined in .env as PROXMOX_2_* variables
• Status: To be verified

Configuration Sites

Based on crossplane-provider-proxmox/examples/provider-config.yaml:

1. us-east-1

   • Endpoint: https://pve1.sankofa.nexus:8006
   • Node: pve1
   • Cloudflare Tunnel: proxmox-site-1-tunnel

2. eu-west-1

   • Endpoint: https://pve4.sankofa.nexus:8006
   • Node: pve4
   • Cloudflare Tunnel: proxmox-site-2-tunnel

3. apac-1

   • Endpoint: https://pve7.sankofa.nexus:8006
   • Node: pve7
   • Cloudflare Tunnel: proxmox-site-3-tunnel

Current Configuration Status

Crossplane Provider

• Location: crossplane-provider-proxmox/
• Status: Partially implemented
• Issues:
  • API client methods have TODO placeholders
  • Need to implement actual Proxmox API calls
  • Authentication needs to be completed

Cloudflare Tunnels

• Configurations: 3 tunnel configs for 3 sites
• Status: Configuration files exist
• Issues:
  • Hostnames use placeholder .local addresses
  • Domain names need to be updated
  • Tunnel credentials need to be configured

Monitoring

• Prometheus Exporter: Script exists (scripts/setup-proxmox-agents.sh)
• Status: Not deployed
• Actions Needed: Deploy exporters to all nodes

Tools and Scripts

Review Scripts

1. Bash Script: scripts/proxmox-review-and-plan.sh

   • Connects to both instances
   • Reviews configurations
   • Generates status reports
   • Creates deployment plan

2. Python Script: scripts/proxmox-review-and-plan.py

   • More detailed API interactions
   • Better error handling
   • Requires: requests library (and optionally proxmoxer)

Usage

# Run bash script
./scripts/proxmox-review-and-plan.sh

# Run Python script
python3 ./scripts/proxmox-review-and-plan.py

Deployment Phases

Phase 1: Connection and Validation

• Verify connectivity to both instances
• Test authentication
• Review cluster status
• Check node health

Phase 2: Configuration Alignment

• Map instances to sites
• Set up API tokens
• Configure Cloudflare tunnels
• Update provider-config.yaml

Phase 3: Crossplane Provider Deployment

• Complete API client implementation
• Build and deploy provider
• Configure ProviderConfig
• Test connectivity

Phase 4: Infrastructure Deployment

• Deploy test VMs
• Set up monitoring
• Configure backups

Phase 5: Production Readiness

• Security hardening
• Documentation
• Testing and validation

Task List

See TASK_LIST.md for detailed task breakdown.

Summary:

• Total Tasks: 20
• High Priority: 7
• Medium Priority: 7
• Low Priority: 6

Next Steps

1. Immediate:

   • Run review scripts to gather current status
   • Verify connectivity to both instances
   • Test authentication

2. Short-term:

   • Complete Crossplane provider implementation
   • Deploy provider to Kubernetes
   • Configure monitoring

3. Long-term:

   • Deploy test VMs
   • End-to-end testing
   • Production hardening

Output Files

After running the review scripts, the following files will be generated in docs/proxmox-review/:

• configuration-review-{timestamp}.md - Configuration review
• deployment-plan-{timestamp}.md - Deployment plan
• task-list-{timestamp}.md - Detailed task list
• proxmox-1-status-{timestamp}.json - Instance 1 status
• proxmox-2-status-{timestamp}.json - Instance 2 status

Notes

• All credentials should be stored in .env file (not committed to git)
• API tokens are preferred over passwords for authentication
• TLS verification should be enabled in production
• Regular status reviews should be scheduled
