I didn't trust an AI with my Proxmox cluster — so I built one that can't surprise me
Short summary
Developer built Proximo, an open-source Proxmox management tool designed to let AI agents manage infrastructure safely. Every mutation is dry-run first, showing exact impacts and affected guests (blast-radius reasoning); changes are recorded in a tamper-evident audit ledger; auto-undo snapshots provide rollback. The tool prioritizes safety-by-construction (PLAN, PROVE, UNDO, DIAGNOSE) over trust-on-faith, currently at v0.6.0 with full control-plane coverage but limited real-world adoption.
- •Open-source Proxmox MCP server with built-in safety mechanisms (PLAN/PROVE/UNDO/DIAGNOSE)
- •Every destructive operation is dry-run first, showing blast radius and affected VMs
- •Audit ledger and auto-snapshots provide tamper-evidence and rollback capability
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
