Versions:
cv4pve-cli 2.1.0, developed by Corsinvest Srl, is a command-line utility designed to give administrators direct, scriptable control over Proxmox VE virtualization clusters. Falling squarely into the System & Network Administration category, the program exposes the full Proxmox VE REST API through an intuitive set of commands, enabling rapid VM and container life-cycle operations, snapshot scheduling, backup orchestration, resource monitoring, and multi-node cluster management without ever loading the web interface. Output can be directed as plain text, JSON, Markdown, or HTML, so parsed data feeds easily into external dashboards or ticketing systems. Batch switches allow hundreds of objects to be created, migrated, or deleted in a single call, while built-in error handling and idempotent syntax make the tool safe for overnight cron jobs or continuous-deployment pipelines. Four successive public releases—tracked under the same major version stream—have refined authentication, added synchronous wait flags for long-running tasks, and tightened integration with current Proxmox VE API levels, ensuring that scripts written today remain compatible after future platform upgrades. Typical use cases range from automated provisioning of student desktops in university labs to nightly off-site replication of production containers in hosting providers, all executed from Ansible, PowerShell, or bare shell scripts. Because the utility is self-contained and cross-platform, it can also run inside a management container on the cluster itself, eliminating external dependencies. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
