# PSProxmox
PSProxmox is a C#-based PowerShell module for managing Proxmox VE clusters. It provides a comprehensive set of cmdlets for interacting with Proxmox VE API, featuring structured return objects, mass deployment tools, automatic IP management, and more.
## Features
- **Session Management**: Authenticate and persist sessions with Proxmox VE clusters
- **Core CRUD Operations**: Manage VMs, Storage, Network, Users, Roles, SDN, and Clusters
- **Templates**: Create and use VM deployment templates
- **Cloud Images**: Download, customize, and create templates from cloud images
- **Cloud-Init Support**: Configure VMs with Cloud-Init for easy customization
- **Mass Creation**: Bulk create VMs with prefix/counter
- **IP Management**: CIDR parsing, subnetting, FIFO IP queue assignment
- **Structured Objects**: All outputs are typed C# classes (PowerShell-native)
- **Pipeline Support**: Cmdlets support pipeline input where appropriate
## Project Structure

## Getting Started
### Connecting to a Proxmox VE Server
```powershell
# Connect using username and password
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force
Connect-ProxmoxServer -Server "proxmox.example.com" -Username "root" -Password $securePassword -Realm "pam"

$credential = Get-Credential
Connect-ProxmoxServer -Server "proxmox.example.com" -Credential $credential -Realm "pam"
# Test the connection
Test-ProxmoxConnection -Detailed
```
### Managing Virtual Machines
```powershell
# Get all VMs (uses the default connection automatically)
$vms = Get-ProxmoxVM
# Get a specific VM
$vm = Get-ProxmoxVM -VMID 100
# Create a new VM
$vm = New-ProxmoxVM -Node "pve1" -Name "test-vm" -Memory 2048 -Cores 2 -DiskSize 32 -Start
# Create a new VM using the builder pattern
$builder = New-ProxmoxVMBuilder -Name "web-server"
$builder.WithMemory(4096)
.WithCores(2)
.WithDisk(50, "local-lvm")
.WithNetwork("virtio", "vmbr0")
.WithIPConfig("192.168.1.10/24", "192.168.1.1")
.WithStart($true)
$vm = New-ProxmoxVM -Node "pve1" -Builder $builder
# Start, stop, and restart VMs
Start-ProxmoxVM -Node "pve1" -VMID 100
Stop-ProxmoxVM -Node "pve1" -VMID 100
Restart-ProxmoxVM -Node "pve1" -VMID 100
# Remove a VM
Remove-ProxmoxVM -Node "pve1" -VMID 100 -Confirm:$false
```

# Configure Cloud-Init for a VM
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "SecurePassword123!" -AsPlainText -Force
$sshKey = Get-Content -Path "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
Set-ProxmoxVMCloudInit -Node "pve1" -VMID 100 -Username "admin" -Password $password -SSHKey $sshKey -IPConfig "dhcp" -DNS "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4"
# Create a VM from the template with static IP
$vm = New-ProxmoxVMFromTemplate -Node "pve1" -TemplateName "ubuntu-22.04" -Name "web01"
Set-ProxmoxVMCloudInit -Node "pve1" -VMID $vm.VMID -Username "admin" -Password $password -IPConfig "ip=192.168.1.100/24,gw=192.168.1.1"

## Disconnecting
```powershell
# Get the current connection and disconnect from the server
$connection = Test-ProxmoxConnection -Detailed
Disconnect-ProxmoxServer -Connection $connection
```
## Development
### Building the Module
To build the module from source:
```powershell
# Run the build script
.\Scripts\build.ps1
```
This will:
1. Compile the C# code
2. Create a versioned release in the Release folder
3. Update the Module folder with the latest build
4. Create a ZIP package for distribution
