Get config of existing vm

[henningphan]

Hi, Im new to this so my assumptions might be wrong, but I got 2 vms, and want to create the third vm with pulumi. Im hoping its possible to look-up an existing vm, modify that config to create the code to generate the third.

https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/proxmoxve/api-docs/vm/virtualmachine/#look-up

I have attached my code and the error message I get, seems to complain I dont pass node_name, which I have set to proxmox, unless there is a config somewhere Im missing.

pulumi-proxmoxve==5.13.1

import pulumi
import pulumi_proxmoxve as proxmoxve

ubuntu_vms = proxmoxve.vm.get_virtual_machines()
vm = proxmoxve.vm.get_virtual_machine(node_name="proxmox", vm_id=100)
pulumi.export("vms", ubuntu_vms)
pulumi.export("vm", vm)

nixos=proxmoxve.vm.VirtualMachine.get(resource_name="nixos1", id=100, node_name="proxmox")
pulumi.export("nixos", nixos)

can you please check again with the newest version? i just tried to import one of my VMs and it worked without any problems.

my code was:

"""A Python Pulumi program"""

import pulumi
import pulumi_proxmoxve as proxmoxve

test_vm = proxmoxve.vm.get_virtual_machine(node_name="pve", vm_id=100)
pulumi.export("vm", test_vm)

the output of a preview was:

Previewing update (dev)

     Type                 Name               Plan
 +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack  pulumi-python-dev  create

Outputs:

        id       : "100"

        tags     : [
            [0]: "infrastructure"
            [1]: "prod"
        ]
        vm_id    : 100
    }

Resources:
    + 1 to create

my environment variables are (redacted):

export PROXMOX_VE_USERNAME="root@pam"
export PROXMOX_VE_PASSWORD="<PASSWORD>"
export PROXMOX_VE_ENDPOINT="https://<IP_ADDRESS>:8006/"
export PROXMOX_VE_INSECURE="true"

Your code worked, after changing the parameters. The output didnt really contain much information.

Is it possible to query an existing vm of its config so I can fill in the values requested of me when creating a new vm, like what bios, network configs, bridge etc...

See link for values of interest https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/proxmoxve/

this extension needs to be filed in the upstream provider (https://github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox). basically, this provider maps the terraform provider's actions and resources for pulumi.

you can see the relevant resource/datasource in upstream here: https://github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox/blob/main/proxmoxtf/datasource/vm.go#L29 the upstream datasource needs to be extended here before the pulumi provider can pick it up as well.

can you create an upstream issue and cross-reference it for tracking purposes?

[henningphan]

Sorry for opening and closing, im pressing the wrong button...

Im not familiar with cross referencing issues in github, a fast google didnt make me any wiser. Is it just linking the issue here or do you want me to do something else?

Issue created https://github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox/issues/674

[muhlba91]

no worries, and thanks for the cross-referencing by posting the upstream issue link! it‘s just that one finds the upstream issue when checking that one out. 👍🏻

[henningphan]

Do you want a new issue for implementing that, I take it as this issue has been resolved, and can be closed after agreeing on what to do with the upstream issue

[muhlba91]

just keep this one open. 🙂

once the upstream issue has been resolved/implemented and this provider updated, i‘ll close it as resolved. until then everyone finding this issue knows that it‘s still open, and can find the link to the upstream issue for reference.
