Kestra's Proxmox Plugin: Create a Workflow to Easily Spin-Up VMs
Manually spinning up VMs in Proxmox gets old fast. In this video, I'm using Kestra (an open-source workflow automation platform) to automatically clone a VM template and start it, all without touching the Proxmox UI! You'll see the process of buiding the workflow, setting up the Proxmox API - and more! In this step-by-step video, you'll be able to build this for yourself.
Thanks to Kestra for supporting this tutorial!
You can self-host it and automate entire workflows!
