+# Ansible Collection - mila.proxmox
+
+The purpose of this collection is to manage containers and virtual machines in
+the [Proxmox VE](https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve) virtualization
+management platform.
+
+NOTE: The collection is still in its early stages of development, things might
+change quickly and without notice while version is still 0.x.y.
+
+## Requirements
+
+The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this collection:
+
+ - collection `community.general`
+ - jmespath
+ - proxmoxer
+ - requests
+
+## Roles
+
+### container
+
+To manage containers, use the role `mila.proxmox.container`. This role makes use
+of the Ansible modules `community.general.proxmox_template` and
+`community.general.proxmox`.
+
+The containers are created from a list defined in `proxmox_container`. Each item
+in the list defines one container.
+
+Example for a container:
+
+    proxmox_container:
+      - hostname: 'container1'
+        node: 'pve-1'
+        ostemplate: 'local:vztmpl/debian-11-standard_11.0-1_amd64.tar.gz'
+        disk: 'local:2'
+        cores: 2
+        nameserver: '10.10.0.1'
+        netif: '{"net0":"name=eth0,gw=10.10.0.254,hwaddr=42:4d:69:6c:61:00,ip=dhcp,bridge=vmbr0"}'
+        unprivileged: True
+        features:
+          - nesting=1  # For systemd, otherwise takes a lot of time to open ssh session
+
+The role will parse `ostemplate` to ensure the required template is available on
+all hosts.
+
+Most of the parameters supported by the module `community.general.proxmox` can
+be defined in the list. The following parameters are not supported yet, but
+this might change in future development: `api_password`, `ip_address`,
+`mounts`, `password`, `pool`, `purge`, `searchdomain` and `storage`. Note that
+`proxmox_default_behavior` is enforced to `no_defaults`.
+
+To authenticate to the REST API of your Proxmox VE cluster, you first need to
+create an [API token][pve_api_tokens], then you must define the 4 **mandatory**
+variables below:
+
+ - `proxmox_api_host`: the hostname or IP address of the Proxmox VE API server
+ - `proxmox_api_user`: the user name to authenticate (e.g. `ansible@pam`)
+ - `proxmox_api_token_id`: the token name (e.g. `prod`)
+ - `proxmox_api_token_secret`: the token secret provided by ProxmoxVE
+
+[pve_api_tokens]: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pveum.html#pveum_tokens
+
+It is also possible to define the user, token id or token secret on a per
+container basis for use cases where the management of a container requires
+different access privileges.
+
+    proxmox_container:
+      - hostname: 'container2'
+        node: 'pve-1'
+        api_user: 'root@pam'
+        api_token_secret: 'MySecretShouldBeInAVault ;)'
+        features:
+          - keyctl=1   # This feature needs root access in ProxmoxVE
+        [...]
+
+In the example above, `item.api_user` and `item.api_token_secret` will
+respectively replace the values of `proxmox_api_user` and
+`proxmox_api_token_secret`.
+
+The example below creates two containers that will serve as DHCP servers. The
+configuration of the DHCP service is not managed by this role. The variable
+`proxmox_container_dhcp` is defined as a play variable. It is then passed to
+`proxmox_container` as a role parameter. It is advised to define it in your
+Ansible inventory.
+
+    - name: Instanciate DHCP servers in PVE
+      hosts: localhost
+      vars:
+        proxmox_api_token_secret: "{{ lookup('env','PROXMOX_API_TOKEN') }}"
+        proxmox_container_dhcp:
+          - hostname: 'dhcp1'
+            node: 'pve-1'
+            ostemplate: 'local:vztmpl/debian-11-standard_11.0-1_amd64.tar.gz'
+            disk: 'local:2'
+            cores: 2
+            nameserver: '10.10.0.1'
+            netif: '{"net0":"name=eth0,gw=10.10.0.254,ip=10.10.0.2/24,bridge=vmbr0"}'
+            unprivileged: True
+            features:
+              - nesting=1  # For systemd, otherwise takes a lot of time to open ssh session
+          - hostname: 'dhcp2'
+            node: 'pve-2'
+            ostemplate: 'local:vztmpl/debian-11-standard_11.0-1_amd64.tar.gz'
+            disk: 'local:2'
+            cores: 2
+            nameserver: '10.10.0.1'
+            netif: '{"net0":"name=eth0,gw=10.10.0.254,ip=10.10.0.3/24,bridge=vmbr0"}'
+            unprivileged: True
+            features:
+              - nesting=1  # For systemd, otherwise takes a lot of time to open ssh session
+    roles:
+      - name: Download proxmox appliance container template
+        role: mila.proxmox.container
+        vars:
+          proxmox_container: "{{ proxmox_container_dhcp }}"
+
+
+Once a container exists, some parameters cannot be changed with the
+`community.general.proxmox` module. To circumvent this limitation, it is
+possible to destroy the containers and recreate these. For this, include the
+role `mila.proxmox.container` in the pre_tasks of your playbook, with
+`tasks_from: destroy`.
+
+    - name: Instanciate containers
+      hosts: localhost
+      pre_tasks:
+        - name: Ensure existing containers are removed
+          block:
+            - name: Remove SSH public host keys
+              ansible.builtin.known_hosts:
+                name: "{{ item }}"
+                state: absent
+              loop:
+                - 10.10.0.2
+                - 10.10.0.3
+            - name: Cleanup containers
+              ansible.builtin.include_role:
+                name: mila.proxmox.container
+                tasks_from: destroy
+              vars:
+                proxmox_container: "{{ proxmox_container_list }}"
+          when: proxmox_container_destroy_first is defined and proxmox_container_destroy_first
+      roles:
+        - name: Instanciate containers in Proxmox VE cluster
+          role: mila.proxmox.container
+          vars:
+            proxmox_container: "{{ proxmox_container_list }}"
+
+In the example above, ansible-playbook must run with `-e
+proxmox_container_destroy_first=True` for the destruction of the containers to
+be effective.
