Well Proxmox doesn't have it... however LXD/Incus has one. Maybe you should try it as a replacement for Proxmox? I mean it's new, new generation software, can be installed in a clean Debian 12 setup from the repositories and does both containers and VMs.

Thanks, it's very new and I'd like to give it some time to mature. With that said, I'm happy to see a SUSE developer take it on.
It also has some great capabilities and let's me handle my storage and hardware whilst providing me paradigms akin to the Cloud a la Openstack (to an extent). It seems great, thanks for mentioning it.
Very new? The thing has been around since 2018. Anyways I know for a fact that a few cloud providers and some enterprise types are using it to power their infrastructure.
Could you tell me which cloud providers are using Incus?
It's a bit hard to search info about it with the name. But it's a fantastic project

Searching for LXD usually returns more useful information... Incus is just a fork as you know.
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:
| Fewer Letters | More Letters |
|---|---|
| DNS | Domain Name Service/System |
| ESXi | VMWare virtual machine hypervisor |
| SSH | Secure Shell for remote terminal access |

even most cloud hosts beyond the big 3 + Digital Ocean don't have an official terraform provider or ansible module it’s pretty ass.
A lot of them do actually. Most mid-tier cloud providers (Linode, Digital Ocean, Vultr) and less expensive providers (IONOS, for example) do have official terraform providers. Smaller providers like Racknerd don't but that is somewhat understandable.
Incidentally, Porkbun is a known DNS provider which doesn't have terraform support (which is why I'm evaluating Cloudflare in the first place for a domain).
XCP-ng has an official terraform provider, whilst ESXi and Proxmox don't. The unfortunate part is that there isn't even a provider for KVM, which really sucks.

Use LXD/Incus instead, there's a provider for it.
Ye
I started writing a Terraform provider for Proxmox a while ago.
Unfortunately, the API is a massive mess and the documentation is not very helpful either. It was a nightmare and I eventually gave up.
Very unfortunate. I'm considering OpenStack as an alternative for its support but TBH it's not what I want.
If you're willing to go the extra mile for OpenStack, I suggest you check out OKD and its virtualization operator. It's much easier to install and maintain, too
Thanks I'll take a look
I might pick it back up some day but at the moment I have other projects going on at the moment.
I’m still using Proxmox myself but unfortunately it’s all fairly manually configured.
It's just that when something breaks in Proxmox the remediation is completely manual and I hate that.
Thanks, I look forward to someone creating a provider which encompasses all of Proxmox.
Yeah, I feel that. I've settled on telmate's but there's a few things I've had to implement as hacky post creation SSH edits on the config files, such as passing through the Intel GPU to my Jellyfin container.
AFAIK bpg's provider has significantly better feature-support than Telemate
Ah, I see. I'll check it out!
I'm using the bpg provider - but I share your pain. Both providers had things that don't work so I went with the one that supported my use-case better. But it's not ideal.
I would love an official provider.
This..... bpg provider seems to check most boxes and I've had less quirks than Telmates. My biggest gripe with most / all of them is the lack of cluster support.
