It is necessary for maintainers of this collection to be subscribed to: * The collection itself (the `Watch` button -> `All Activity` in the upper right corner of the repository's homepage). * The [news-for-maintainers repository](https://github.com/ansible-collections/news-for-maintainers).

Every voice is important. If you have something on your mind, create an issue or dedicated discussion and let's discuss it! ## Tested with Ansible Ansible-core 2.17, 2.18, and the current development version of ansible-core. ## External requirements In order to use the modules in this collection, you'll need: * Python >= 3.7 * Proxmoxer >= 2.0 ## Using this collection ### Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy Before using this collection, you need to install it with the Ansible Galaxy command-line tool: ```bash ansible-galaxy collection install community.proxmox ``` You can also include it in a `requirements.yml` file and install it with `ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml`, using the format: ```yaml --- collections: - name: community.proxmox ``` Note that if you install the collection from Ansible Galaxy, it will not be upgraded automatically when you upgrade the `ansible` package. To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command: ```bash ansible-galaxy collection install community.proxmox --upgrade ``` You can also install a specific version of the collection, for example, if you need to downgrade when something is broken in the latest version (please report an issue in this repository). Use the following syntax to install version `0.1.0`: ```bash ansible-galaxy collection install community.proxmox:==0.1.0 ``` See [using Ansible collections](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/user_guide/collections_using.html) for more details. ## Release notes See the [changelog](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.proxmox/tree/main/CHANGELOG.md). ## Roadmap Our first order of business is that we get this collection up and running, that means migrating all modules away from `community.general` and doing maintenance where needed. ## More information - [Ansible user guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/user_guide/index.html) - [Ansible developer guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/index.html) - [Ansible collections requirements](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_requirements.html) - [Ansible community Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/code_of_conduct.html) - [The Bullhorn (the Ansible contributor newsletter)](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/communication.html#the-bullhorn) - [Important announcements for maintainers](https://github.com/ansible-collections/news-for-maintainers) ## Licensing GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
