Easy to use SHELL-script to manage your Proxmox-Host via API

Use Proxmox-API without complicated token/cookie handling, this script will do this for you!

Tested on Proxmox 7.1-12

What do I need?

• Customize the script in the upper section with your own settings
• The script on your system made executable with chmod +x ./proxmox_api.sh
• A Proxmox user with the correct permissions for that specific command you want to execute
  (Note: User has to be created on Proxmox VE authentication server NOT Linux PAM )

What is possible?

• Standard functions
  'Syntax: start|stop|reboot|resume|shutdown|suspend lxc|vm <vmid'>'

• Use any possible API command available (see official documentation https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_API)
  Custom commands without retyping static URL part (https://$PROXMOX_NODE_IP:8006/api2/json/nodes/)"
  Syntax: custom GET|POST|PUT your/command/extending/static/url

• Create/Delete LXCs with preconfigured settings with one command
  'Syntax: create|delete '

Examples?

Let's restart a VM, vmid 180 in this case:

/path/to/script/proxmox_api.sh restart vm 180

Now let's change the amount of RAM for LXC with ID 177 on our node called node3:

(Note: Use PUT, GET or POST like described in documentation)

/path/to/script/proxmox_api.sh custom PUT node3/lxc/177/config?memory=1024

Create a LXC like preconfigured in your script named "AdGuard-LXC" with vmid 189:

/path/to/script/proxmox_api.sh create 189 AdGuard-LXC
