I might not deserve to say this, but I really wish Proxmox GmbH maintained an “official” terraform provider instead of relying on the community completely for it, à la Vates (XCP-ng). To be fair, it was the same with VMWare, so I’m not putting the blame on them.

For example, neither one out of the two well known Terraform providers (Telemate and bpg) support the newer SDN capabilities. Now, of course, it’s new so I completely understand that it would take time to write code for said functionality. Especially when it’s a community effort. It’s just that if Proxmox handled it directly I feel like the community would be able to better support them by supplementing features on top of a base that they create instead of going from scratch.

I believe Proxmox has said that Terraform is not their priority, and I understand. It’s a bad economy and companies are looking to downsize anyway. With that said, I hope I do get to see this someday.

Speaking of which, which IaC tool do you use for your Proxmox install/cluster?

        I might pick it back up some day but at the moment I have other projects going on at the moment.

        I’m still using Proxmox myself but unfortunately it’s all fairly manually configured.

          It’s just that when something breaks in Proxmox the remediation is completely manual and I hate that.

          Thanks, I look forward to someone creating a provider which encompasses all of Proxmox.
