⚠️

If you see errors like this...

ERROR - Config value 'theme': Unrecognised theme name: 'material'. The available installed themes are: mkdocs, readthedocs ERROR - Config value 'markdown_extensions': Failed to load extension 'pymdownx.tabbed'. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pymdownx'

Try uninstalling mkdocs from your package manager, (e.g. brew uninstall mkdocs) and just using the version installed by pip. It seems that mkdocs doesn't like it when you've installed it using different methods.

What's New in 1.2.0

• Adds LXC support
• Adds the ability to define 'vmid' for both VM and LXC, rather than taking a default value from Proxmox
• Adds "discovery" of Proxmox VM and LXC disks and auto-creation of VM disk objects in NetBox
• Adds rudimentary Proxmox VM and LXC discovery through convenience script
• Adds AWX initial setup through convenience script (uses awxkit)
• Convenience script changes to accommodate LXC requirements
• Can dynamically build webhooks and event rules from current AWX state through convenience script
• Adds customization changes for LXC-specific requirements

Known Issues / Roadmap

Known Issues

• Only supports SCSI disk types (this is possibly fine as Proxmox predomininantly provisions disks as SCSI)
• Does not currently support Proxmox VM creation to a Proxmox cluster, but is only node-based

Roadmap -- Delivery

• Integration with NetBox Discovery/Assurance
• DNS update support (requires NetBox netbox-dns plugin)
• Maybe evolve into to a NetBox plugin for Proxmox
