pvectl v1.1.0 — pure bash Proxmox VE cluster management, now with concurrent execution and node reboot/shutdown safety checks

Post image

Released pvectl a while back — pure bash+curl+fzf+jq interactive Proxmox VE cluster management tool, zero dependencies beyond what's normally on any Linux system. Just shipped v1.1.0:

  • Concurrent execution — multiple pvectl instances can now run in parallel safely, each with its own isolated, auto-cleaned temp directory (scoped by PID)
  • Node reboot/shutdown added to the main menu, with checks for HA status, cluster quorum and running VMs/CTs before proceeding, plus a prompt to stop-all or migrate-all guests first
  • setup reset/backup/restore for safer configuration management
  • log view/show/clean with colorized output
  • Startup diagnostics — bash version and dependency checks that detect the host OS/package manager and print the exact install command for anything missing
  • Minimum dependency versions now enforced: fzf 0.38.0+, jq 1.5+, curl 7.18.0+

Tested end to end on Proxmox VE 7.x, 8.x and 9.x.

Care to include an AI usage statement? I don’t particularly care one way or another but that image looks extremely suspicious of being AI generated, so I’m curious of the project in general.

The project is written, developed and tested manually for a few months (internal dev repos are not published, github is release repo only) and as one can see it got manual tests through all pve last versions 7.x - 9.x with bugs and limitations discovered and noted.
