|
|
Two scripts to list all Proxmox VMs with VMID, Name, IP Address, FQDN, and Description.
|
|
|
|
## Scripts
|
|
|
|
### 1. `list_vms.py` (Python - Recommended)
|
|
|
|
Python script using the Proxmox API. More robust and feature-rich.
|
|
|
|
**Features:**
|
|
- Supports both API token and password authentication
|
|
- Automatically loads credentials from `~/.env` file
|
|
- Retrieves IP addresses via QEMU guest agent or network config
|
|
- Gets FQDN from hostname configuration
|
|
- Handles both QEMU VMs and LXC containers
|
|
- Graceful error handling
|
|
|
|
**Prerequisites:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install proxmoxer requests
|
|
# Or if using venv:
|
|
source venv/bin/activate
|
|
pip install proxmoxer requests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Usage:**
|
|
|
|
**Option 1: Using ~/.env file (Recommended)**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create/edit ~/.env file with:
|
|
PROXMOX_HOST=your-proxmox-host
|
|
PROXMOX_USER=root@pam
|
|
PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME=your-token-name
|
|
PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE=your-token-value
|
|
# OR use password:
|
|
PROXMOX_PASSWORD=your-password
|
|
|
|
# Then run:
|
|
python3 list_vms.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Option 2: Environment variables**
|
|
```bash
|
|
export PROXMOX_HOST=your-proxmox-host
|
|
export PROXMOX_USER=root@pam
|
|
export PROXMOX_TOKEN_NAME=your-token-name
|
|
export PROXMOX_TOKEN_VALUE=your-token-value
|
|
python3 list_vms.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Option 3: JSON config file**
|
|
```bash
|
|
export PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG=/path/to/config.json
|
|
python3 list_vms.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. `list_vms.sh` (Shell Script)
|
|
|
|
Shell script using `pvesh` via SSH. Requires SSH access to Proxmox node.
|
|
|
|
**Prerequisites:**
|
|
- SSH access to Proxmox node
|
|
- `pvesh` command available on Proxmox node
|
|
- Python3 for JSON parsing
|
|
|
|
**Usage:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
export PROXMOX_HOST=your-proxmox-host
|
|
export PROXMOX_USER=root
|
|
./list_vms.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Output Format
|
|
|
|
Both scripts output a formatted table:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
VMID | Name | Type | IP Address | FQDN | Description
|
|
-------|-------------------------|------|-------------------|-------------------------|----------------
|
|
100 | vm-example | QEMU | 192.168.1.100 | vm-example.local | Example VM
|
|
101 | container-example | LXC | 192.168.1.101 | container.local | Example container
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How IP Addresses are Retrieved
|
|
|
|
### For QEMU VMs:
|
|
1. First tries QEMU guest agent (`network-get-interfaces`)
|
|
2. Falls back to network configuration parsing
|
|
3. Shows "N/A" if neither method works
|
|
|
|
### For LXC Containers:
|
|
1. Executes `hostname -I` command inside container
|
|
2. Filters out localhost addresses
|
|
3. Shows "N/A" if command fails or container is stopped
|
|
|
|
## How FQDN is Retrieved
|
|
|
|
1. Gets hostname from VM/container configuration
|
|
2. For running VMs, tries to execute `hostname -f` command
|
|
3. Falls back to hostname from config if command fails
|
|
4. Shows "N/A" if no hostname is configured
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Connection Timeout
|
|
- Verify Proxmox host is reachable: `ping your-proxmox-host`
|
|
- Check firewall rules allow port 8006
|
|
- Verify credentials in `~/.env` are correct
|
|
|
|
### Authentication Failed
|
|
- Verify API token is valid and not expired
|
|
- Check user permissions in Proxmox
|
|
- Try using password authentication instead
|
|
|
|
### IP Address Shows "N/A"
|
|
- For QEMU: Ensure QEMU guest agent is installed and running in VM
|
|
- For LXC: Container must be running to execute commands
|
|
- Check network configuration in VM/container
|
|
|
|
### FQDN Shows "N/A"
|
|
- Set hostname in VM/container configuration
|
|
- For running VMs, ensure hostname command is available
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### List all VMs
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 list_vms.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### List VMs from specific host
|
|
```bash
|
|
PROXMOX_HOST=192.168.11.10 python3 list_vms.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using shell script
|
|
```bash
|
|
PROXMOX_HOST=192.168.11.10 PROXMOX_USER=root ./list_vms.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Scripts automatically sort VMs by VMID
|
|
- Both QEMU VMs and LXC containers are included
|
|
- Scripts handle missing information gracefully (shows "N/A")
|
|
- Python script is recommended for better error handling and features
