# NetBox Proxmox Automation

[NetBox](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox) is a widely used tool for documenting/modeling networks (network devices, virtual machines, etc), and also provides a great IPAM solution. [Proxmox](https://www.proxmox.com/en/) is a freely available virtualization technology that allows you to deploy virtual machines (VMs) at scale, and perhaps in a clustered configuration. NetBox has approximately 15,000 users in its open source community. Proxmox has approximately [900,000 hosts and more than 130,000 users in its open source community](https://www.proxmox.com/en/about/press-releases/proxmox-virtual-environment-8-1).
[NetBox](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox) is the world's most popular Network Source of Truth (NSoT) with tens of thousands of installations globally. It is used extensively for documenting/modeling networks (network devices, virtual machines, etc), and also provides a great IPAM solution. [Proxmox](https://www.proxmox.com/en/) is a freely available virtualization technology that allows you to deploy virtual machines (VMs) at scale, and perhaps in a clustered configuration. Proxmox has approximately [900,000 hosts and more than 130,000 users in its open source community](https://www.proxmox.com/en/about/press-releases/proxmox-virtual-environment-8-1).

When you think of the challenges of a widely used network documentation solution and a widely used virtualization technology, this implementation is an integration between virtual machine documentation (NetBox) and the automation of virtual machine (VM) configurations (Proxmox).
When you think of the challenges of a widely used network documentation solution and a widely used virtualization technology, this implementation is an integration between virtual machine documentation (NetBox) and the automation of Proxmox virtual machine (VM) deployment and configuration.

This automation handles creation, removal, and changes of/to Proxmox VMs. The underlying automation uses [webhooks](https://demo.netbox.dev/static/docs/additional-features/webhooks/) and [event rules](https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/features/event-rules/) in NetBox. When you induce a change in NetBox, this will set the desired VM state(s) in Proxmox.
