What happened?

When running under Linux, connecting to proxmox fails due to Test-Connection command containing the -Buffersize 16. Removing this allows Linux to run Test-Connection without requiring sudo permissions. For more information, you can view this GitHub issue in the powershell repo.

Below is the code with the error:
github.com/Corsinvest/cv4pve-api-powershell@cd1e1a71f2/Corsinvest.ProxmoxVE.Api/Corsinvest.ProxmoxVE.Api.psm1 (L105)

Expected behavior

For it to connect successfully.
