Hello all,
want to extract the existing configuration of a PVE Node for documentation purposes.

I have no trouble to display some metadata of the lxc. But how do I get the config ?

In pvesh it looks like this:

pvesh get /nodes/xxx/lxc/200/config/

In python I do:

from proxmoxer import ProxmoxAPI

proxmox = ProxmoxAPI('xxx.de', user=yyy',
                 password='yyyyyy', verify_ssl=False)

for node in proxmox.nodes.get():
    for lxc in proxmox.nodes(node['node']).lxc.get():
        print (lxc)

the dictionary lxc does not contain a 'config' and I did not manage to extract this information in any way i tried.

How shall this be done ?

Thanks for reading !

Norbert

From looking at the API documentation, it looks like you just need to add config to your query. Also, make sure you have the VM.Audit permission for everything.

For example:

from proxmoxer import ProxmoxAPI

proxmox = ProxmoxAPI('xxx.de', user='yyy@realm',
                                       password='yyyyyy', verify_ssl=False)

for node in proxmox.nodes.get():
    for lxc in proxmox.nodes(node['node']).lxc.get():
        config = proxmox.nodes(node['node']).lxc(lxc["vmid"]).config.get()
        print (config)
        print(config["template"])

Thanks a lot . That didi it . I was confused after reading in the README:

As a demonstration of the flexibility of usage of this library, the following lines accomplish the equivalent function:
proxmox.nodes(node['node']).openvz.get()
proxmox.nodes(node['node']).get('openvz')
proxmox.get('nodes/%s/openvz' % node['node'])
proxmox.get('nodes', node['node'], 'openvz')

proxmox.get('nodes/%s/openvz' % node['node']) threw me off the rails

Thanks again !
