Docker Machine Driver for Proxmox VE (Deepshore edition)

This driver can be used to kickstart a VM in Proxmox VE to be used with Docker/Docker Machine.

• NOTE: docker-machine is not actively developed anymore so rancher/machine should be used as cli: https://github.com/rancher/machine

• Download and copy it into your PATH (don't forget to chmod +x) or build your own driver

• Check if it works with this super long commandline:

    [[ $(docker-machine create --driver proxmoxve --help | grep -c "proxmoxve-proxmox-host") == 1 ]] && echo "Proxmox Driver is installed" || echo "Proxmox Driver not found"
  

Driver Options

explore them with docker-machine create --driver proxmoxve --help

Clone VM

To use this driver you need to have a VM template with cloud-init support.

But do not worry, we have everything in place to get you running: go to the ansible Folder and check the Readme.md

Build and Test

• make
• or to fully test create an .env file (example below) and run make create-machine:

       PVE_CLONE_VMID=100
       PVE_SSH_USER=ubuntu
       PVE_PASSWD=secret
       PVE_REALM=pam
       PVE_HOST=PVE01.local
       PVE_NODE=PVE01
       PVE_USER=root
       VM_NAME="docker-machine-pve-local"

Test

make test
