Proxmox AI Agent: n8n VM Management with Generative AI

This n8n workflow creates an AI-powered conversational agent for managing Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE). Users interact via chat interfaces (Telegram, email, or n8n chat), issuing natural language commands that the AI parses into structured Proxmox API calls. It supports operations like retrieving cluster info, creating/deleting VMs, starting/stopping, migrating, and resizing configurations.

The workflow triggers on user input, sends it to a generative AI model (Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude) for analysis. The AI generates JSON with response_type (GET/POST/etc.), API endpoint URL, and payload details. This feeds into HTTP Request nodes that authenticate and execute calls against the Proxmox API, handling tickets for secure access.

Benefits include time-saving automation for sysadmins, reducing manual API usage errors, and enabling non-experts to manage infrastructure conversationally. Use cases: DevOps teams monitoring clusters, rapid VM provisioning in homelabs/data centers, or scaling operations without deep Proxmox knowledge. Integrates seamlessly with n8n's ecosystem for extensibility.
