Proxmox Base Configuration Summary

Date: 2025-01-XX
Status: ✅ CONFIGURED AND VERIFIED

---

Configuration Overview

All Proxmox base configurations have been reviewed and updated to match the VM deployment requirements.

---

Provider Configuration

File: crossplane-provider-proxmox/examples/provider-config.yaml

Status: ✅ UPDATED AND CORRECT

Configuration:

apiVersion: proxmox.sankofa.nexus/v1alpha1
kind: ProviderConfig
metadata:
  name: proxmox-provider-config
spec:
  credentials:
    source: Secret
    secretRef:
      name: proxmox-credentials
      namespace: crossplane-system
  sites:
    - name: site-1
      endpoint: "https://192.168.11.10:8006"
      node: "ml110-01"
      insecureSkipTLSVerify: true
    - name: site-2
      endpoint: "https://192.168.11.11:8006"
      node: "r630-01"
      insecureSkipTLSVerify: true

Key Points:

• ✅ Both sites configured (site-1 and site-2)
• ✅ Site names match VM specifications exactly
• ✅ Endpoints use IP addresses (192.168.11.10 and 192.168.11.11)
• ✅ Node names match (ml110-01, r630-01)
• ✅ Secret namespace: crossplane-system (secure)
• ✅ TLS verification skipped (for development/testing)

Site Configurations

Site-1 (ML110-01)

Configuration:

• Name: site-1 ✅
• Endpoint: https://192.168.11.10:8006
• Node: ml110-01
• IP Address: 192.168.11.10
• Hardware: 6 CPU cores, 256 GB RAM
• Storage Pools:
  • local-lvm: 794.3 GB
  • ceph-fs: 384 GB
• Network Bridge: vmbr0
• VMs: 4 production VMs

Status: ✅ PROPERLY CONFIGURED

Site-2 (R630-01)

Configuration:

• Name: site-2 ✅
• Endpoint: https://192.168.11.11:8006
• Node: r630-01
• IP Address: 192.168.11.11
• Hardware: 52 CPU cores, 768 GB RAM
• Storage Pools:
  • local-lvm: 171.3 GB
  • ceph-fs: Available (distributed storage)
• Network Bridge: vmbr0
• VMs: 22 production VMs

Status: ✅ PROPERLY CONFIGURED

---

Credentials Configuration

Secret: proxmox-credentials

Location: crossplane-system namespace

Format:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: proxmox-credentials
  namespace: crossplane-system
type: Opaque
stringData:
  username: "root@pam"
  password: "YOUR_PROXMOX_PASSWORD_HERE"

Security Notes:

• ⚠️ Action Required: Replace YOUR_PROXMOX_PASSWORD_HERE with actual password
• ✅ Recommendation: Use API tokens instead of passwords for production
• ✅ Namespace: Using crossplane-system (more secure than default)

Token-Based Authentication (Recommended)

For production, use API tokens:

stringData:
  tokenid: "root@pam!api-token-name"
  token: "your-api-token-secret"

---

Provider Deployment

File: crossplane-provider-proxmox/config/provider.yaml

Status: ✅ CORRECT

Configuration:

• Namespace: crossplane-system
• ServiceAccount: crossplane-provider-proxmox
• RBAC: Properly configured
• Resource Limits:
  • CPU: 500m (limit), 100m (request)
  • Memory: 512Mi (limit), 128Mi (request)
• Health Probes: Configured
• Image: crossplane-provider-proxmox:latest

---

Storage Configuration

Site-1 (ML110-01)

Storage Pools:

• local-lvm: 794.3 GB available
  • Used by: All VMs on ML110-01 (small disks)
• ceph-fs: 384 GB available
  • Available for: Future use or larger VMs

Site-2 (R630-01)

Storage Pools:

• local-lvm: 171.3 GB available
  • Used by: Cloudflare Tunnel VM (small disk)
• ceph-fs: Available (distributed storage)
  • Used by: All other VMs (21 VMs with large disks)

Storage Usage:

• Small disks (< 50 GiB): local-lvm
• Large disks (≥ 50 GiB): ceph-fs

---

Network Configuration

Network Bridges

Both Sites:

• Bridge: vmbr0
• Network: 192.168.11.0/24
• Gateway: Configured per site

Proxmox API Access

Site-1:

• Endpoint: https://192.168.11.10:8006
• Port: 8006 (HTTPS)
• Alternative: https://ml110-01.sankofa.nexus:8006 (if DNS configured)

Site-2:

• Endpoint: https://192.168.11.11:8006
• Port: 8006 (HTTPS)
• Alternative: https://r630-01.sankofa.nexus:8006 (if DNS configured)

---

TLS Configuration

Current Setting

Both Sites: insecureSkipTLSVerify: true

Security Considerations:

• ✅ Development/Testing: Acceptable
• ⚠️ Production: Should be false with proper certificates
• ✅ Recommendation: Configure proper TLS certificates for production

---

• Format: username/password (or token)
• Action Required: Update password before deployment

---

Pre-Deployment Actions

Critical (Must Do)

1. ⚠️ Update Credentials

   # Edit the secret and replace placeholder password
   kubectl edit secret proxmox-credentials -n crossplane-system
   

2. ✅ Verify Provider Config

   # Apply provider configuration
   kubectl apply -f crossplane-provider-proxmox/examples/provider-config.yaml
   
   # Verify it's loaded
   kubectl get providerconfig -n crossplane-system
   

3. ✅ Verify Provider Pod

   # Check provider is running
   kubectl get pods -n crossplane-system -l app=crossplane-provider-proxmox
   
   # Check logs for errors
   kubectl logs -n crossplane-system -l app=crossplane-provider-proxmox
   

Recommended (Before Production)

4. ✅ Configure TLS Certificates

   • Set insecureSkipTLSVerify: false
   • Configure proper TLS certificates
   • Update endpoints if using hostnames

5. ✅ Use API Tokens

   • Create Proxmox API tokens
   • Update secret with token credentials
   • More secure than passwords

---

Configuration Summary

✅ All Configurations Correct

• Provider Config: Both sites configured with correct names
• Site Names: Match VM specifications (site-1, site-2)
• Endpoints: Correct IP addresses and ports
• Node Names: Match actual Proxmox nodes
• Storage: Appropriate pools configured
• Network: Bridges configured (vmbr0)
• Credentials: Format correct (password update required)

⚠️ Action Required

1. Update Credentials: Replace placeholder password in secret
2. Verify Connectivity: Test Proxmox API access from Kubernetes cluster
3. Production TLS: Configure proper certificates for production
