The guest table marks with "!" each guest that Proxmox's not-backed-up list returns. The frame's bottom border shows the count, e.g. "mainframe · 2 without backup job". This uses Proxmox's own answer, so it also counts jobs that select guests by pool. If the coverage call fails, the guests are still listed and a warning says the coverage is unknown.

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) |
Enter |
info: resources (CPU, memory, swap, disks), backups, backup job, network (config and runtime IPs) |
Enter then e |
in info: edit cores / memory / grow a disk (disk growth asks again; it cannot be undone) |
Enter then b |
in info: backup now (snapshot, zstd, storage choice); a there = also show backups of earlier guests that had the same VMID |
Enter then n |
in info: edit network (bridge, VLAN, firewall, IPv4/IPv6; VM IP via cloud-init at next boot); u there = undo the last network change of this guest (this session only) |
t |
shell in a running LXC container (ssh -t root@<node> pct enter <vmid>) |
g |
refresh |
c |
switch cv4pve-cli context (cluster) |
q |
quit |
Warning: link changes (bridge, VLAN, firewall) apply immediately on a running guest and can cut its network (and DNS for others if the guest is your DNS server). IP changes on a running container may need a reboot of the container (seen: static -> DHCP gave no IPv4 until a reboot).
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.
A ! in the first column marks a guest that no backup job covers (Proxmox's
not-backed-up list); the frame's bottom border shows how many.
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.
