What is Proxmox Multi-Control?
The Proxmox Multi-Control skill for Openclaw Skills is a robust integration designed for developers and system administrators who manage Proxmox VE environments. It provides a unified command structure to interact with the Proxmox REST API, allowing for seamless management of standalone servers or distributed clusters. By integrating this capability into your AI agent's toolkit, you can perform complex infrastructure tasks using natural language or automated scripts.
This skill is particularly valuable for those looking to expand their Openclaw Skills library with professional-grade DevOps tools. It supports multi-host configurations, enabling you to get a bird's-eye view of your entire infrastructure, from node health and resource utilization to the operational status of virtual machines and LXC containers.
Proxmox Multi-Control Use Cases
- Monitoring the resource usage and health status of multiple Proxmox nodes from a single interface.
- Automating power management for development environments, including starting or stopping VMs across different hosts.
- Managing system recovery points by creating and rolling back snapshots before major updates.
- Auditing storage pools and backup archives across various Proxmox instances within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
- Troubleshooting server operations by reviewing recent task logs and async operations directly through the AI agent.
How Proxmox Multi-Control Works
- The AI agent receives a command regarding a Proxmox resource, such as listing VMs or checking node status.
- The skill references either the ~/.openclaw/credentials/proxmox.json file or environment variables to authenticate with the Proxmox REST API.
- The skill executes the requested logic using the proxmoxer Python library to communicate with the specific Proxmox host.
- For multi-host commands, the skill iterates through all configured hosts and aggregates the results into a single response.
- The skill returns a structured JSON payload to the agent, which then presents the infrastructure data to the user.
Proxmox Multi-Control Setup
To get started with this skill for Openclaw Skills, first install the required Python dependency:
pip install proxmoxer
For managing multiple hosts, create a configuration file at ~/.openclaw/credentials/proxmox.json:
{
"default": "production",
"hosts": {
"production": {
"host": "192.168.1.100",
"token_id": "admin@pve!agent",
"token_secret": "your-api-secret",
"verify_ssl": false
}
}
}
Alternatively, for a quick single-host setup, you can export the following environment variables:
export PVE_HOST="192.168.1.100"
export PVE_TOKEN_ID="admin@pve!agent"
export PVE_TOKEN_SECRET="your-api-secret"
Proxmox Multi-Control Data Schema & Taxonomy
The Proxmox Multi-Control skill organizes data into a consistent JSON structure to ensure compatibility across all Openclaw Skills workflows:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ok | boolean | Indicates if the API request was successful |
| data | array | Contains the list of nodes, VMs, storage, or tasks |
| _host | string | The name of the host the data belongs to (included in cluster-wide commands) |
| error | string | Error message details if the operation fails |
| available | array | List of valid host names if an invalid host was specified |
Proxmox Multi-Control Advanced Features
- Cluster-wide visibility: Use commands like cluster-vms and cluster-status to aggregate data across every configured Proxmox server.
- Granular Snapshot Control: Support for including or excluding RAM state when creating snapshots for flexible recovery options.
- Secure Credential Management: Dedicated configuration file with 600 permissions support to keep API tokens safe within the Openclaw Skills environment.
- Approval-gated Actions: Critical operations like power cycling and snapshot rollbacks require explicit user approval for safety.
- Flexible Host Targeting: Use the --host flag to override default settings and target specific servers for any command.
