Proxmox-Terraform

Proxmox Terraform Integration

You can use Terraform to automate certain tasks on Proxmox. This allows you to manage virtual machines and lxc containers with infrastructure-as-code. We're using the third-party plugin telmate/terraform-provider-proxmox.

Useful commands

Import existing virtual machines to Terraform

Existing virtual machines can be imported to the Terraform state file with the following command. Make sure, you have created a corresponding Resource in the Terraform File.

terraform import <resourcetype.resourcename> <id>

In the telmate/terraform-provider-proxmox, the id needs to be set according to <node>/<type>/<vmid>, like in the following example.

terraform import proxmox_vm_qemu.srv-prod-1 prx-prod-1/proxmox_vm_qemu/102
