README

This PHP 5.5+ library allows you to interact with your Proxmox server via API.

I'm not actively maintaining this library anymore (I've left PHP behind) but the API is pretty stable, if it doesn't suit your needs take a look at the forks or better yet create a PR to add the things you're missing, if you're interested I can transfer the project to you.

Looking for a PHP 5.3 library version? Search through the releases one that fits your needs, I recommend using the 2.1.1 version.

Installation

Recommended installation is using Composer, if you do not have Composer what are you waiting?

In the root of your project execute the following:

$ composer require zzantares/proxmoxve ~4.0

Or add this to your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "zzantares/proxmoxve": "~4.0"
    }
}

Then perform the installation:

$ composer install --no-dev

Usage

<?php

// Require the autoloader
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Use the library namespace
use ProxmoxVE\Proxmox;

// Create your credentials array
$credentials = [
    'hostname' => 'proxmox.server.com',  // Also can be an IP
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => 'secret',
];

// realm and port defaults to 'pam' and '8006' but you can specify them like so
$credentials = [
    'hostname' => 'proxmox.server.com',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => 'secret',
    'realm' => 'pve',
    'port' => '9009',
];

// Then simply pass your credentials when creating the API client object.
$proxmox = new Proxmox($credentials);

$allNodes = $proxmox->get('/nodes');

print_r($allNodes);

Sample output:

Array
(
    [data] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [disk] => 2539465464
                    [cpu] => 0.031314446882002
                    [maxdisk] => 30805066770
                    [maxmem] => 175168446464
                    [node] => mynode1
                    [maxcpu] => 24
                    [level] =>
                    [uptime] => 139376
                    [id] => node/mynode1
                    [type] => node
                    [mem] => 20601992182
                )

        )

)

Using the MailGateway API

This library can be used to communicate with the Proxmox MailGateway API as well, by simply changing the system entry in the credentials array.

<?php

$credentials = [
    'hostname' => 'proxmox.server.com',  // Also can be an IP
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => 'secret',
    'system' => 'pmg', // Defaults to 'pve' for the PVE API. Use 'pmg' for the PMG API.
];

Docs

On your proxmox client object you can use get(), create(), set() and delete() functions for all resources specified at PVE2 API Documentation, params are passed as the second parameter in an associative array.

What resources or paths can I interact with and how?

In your proxmox server you can use the pvesh CLI Tool to manage all the pve resources, you can use this library in the exact same way you would use the pvesh tool. For instance you could run pvesh then, as the screen message should say, you can type help [path] [--verbose] to see how you could use a path and what params you should pass to it. Be sure to read about the pvesh CLI Tool at the Proxmox wiki.

How does the Proxmox API works?

Consult the ProxmoxVE API article at the Proxmox wiki.

I feel you're hiding some cool tricks! I need more docs!

See the project's wiki for a more detailed documentation, it's all in there I swear it... I think.
