Let us learn to use and setup the Ansible Proxmox LXC. With the support of our Server management support services at Bobcares we will learn to set this up easily.

Ansible, proxmox and LXC

Proxmox use Linux Container (LXC) technology to build lightweight, isolated environments in which programs may operate.

LXC containers allow programs to run in a sandboxed environment with their own filesystem, network stack, and process space while sharing the host kernel. As a result, LXC containers are substantially lighter than standard virtual machines.

Ansible and Proxmox may be used in tandem to automate LXC container generation and administration. Ansible has a Proxmox module for creating and managing Proxmox resources like as nodes, virtual machines, and containers.

We can declare the desired state of the LXC containers in a YAML playbook and then use the Proxmox module to construct or update those containers on the cluster.

Ansible proxmox LXC Usage

Here are a few examples of what we can accomplish using it:

• Build new LXC containers by starting with a template or an image.
• Configure the LXC containers’ network settings.
• Install and setup apps within LXC containers.
• LXC containers can be started, stopped, or deleted.
• LXC containers should be backed up and restored.
• Keep track of the resources used by the LXC containers.

Overall, Ansible and Proxmox LXC  work well together to automate the deployment and administration of lightweight, isolated environments for running applications.
