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](https://github.com/Corsinvest/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
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
uv sync
|
|
uv run pytest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Tests mock `cv4pve-cli`; they never touch a cluster. Design: `docs/plans/guest-tui-mvp.md`.
