Press i on a guest to see its backups and network. Backups from every backup-capable storage are listed newest first, with the backup jobs that cover the guest. The network part shows the netN settings (bridge, VLAN, MAC, IPv4/IPv6 setting, firewall) and the addresses in use. Press b in the info screen to back the guest up now: snapshot mode and zstd, like the scheduled job, to a storage you pick (the job's storage is preselected). It asks for confirmation, marks the guest busy and uses --wait. Fixed after review and a read-only live check: - prune-backups arrives as a JSON string; parsing it as a dict crashed the app. - CT addresses come from ip-addresses. inet6 holds only the link-local address, so the global SLAAC address was missing. - The info screen uses the guest's live status, and odd API data (null size, unknown address types) no longer kills the app. - The test fake now copies guest dicts; a shared constant was being mutated across tests.

cv4pve-cli-tui
Textual TUI for cv4pve-cli: list Proxmox VE guests (VMs and LXC), start/shutdown/stop/reboot them, and change cores, memory and disk size.
It shells out to cv4pve-cli and uses its current context (cv4pve-cli config use <name>);
it stores no credentials itself. Tested with cv4pve-cli 2.4.0.
Run
uv run cv4pve-tui
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
s |
start |
S |
shutdown (confirm) |
x |
stop - hard power-off (confirm) |
r |
reboot (confirm) |
e |
edit cores / memory / grow a disk (disk growth asks again; it cannot be undone) |
i |
info: backups, backup job, network (config and runtime IPs); b there = backup now (snapshot, zstd, storage choice) |
t |
shell in a running LXC container (ssh -t root@<node> pct enter <vmid>) |
g |
refresh |
c |
switch cv4pve-cli context (cluster) |
q |
quit |
The shell key needs key-based root SSH to the PVE node (LXC only).
Switching context runs cv4pve-cli config use, which changes cv4pve-cli's global current
context: other shells and scripts follow, and it stays after the app exits.
Empty fields in the edit dialog are left unchanged. If a CPU/memory change cannot be hot-plugged, the app tells you it applies at the next reboot.

Tests mock cv4pve-cli; they never touch a cluster. Design: docs/plans/guest-tui-mvp.md.
