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) |
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.
