history

Project history and usage

pvetui is an open-source terminal user interface and automation-oriented CLI for managing Proxmox VE environments.

Project history

pvetui began as an open-source terminal interface for Proxmox Virtual Environment and expanded into cluster-resource management covering nodes, virtual machines, containers, storage, tasks, shells, and VNC access.

The project later added multiple connection profiles, aggregate and failover group modes, a plugin system, and non-interactive CLI subcommands. It also supports SOPS-encrypted configuration and can encrypt cleartext secrets after a successful connection.

Adoption history

The project provides release binaries and Linux packages and documents installation through Homebrew, Scoop, Arch User Repository packages, a Cloudsmith repository, and Go tooling. The supplied metadata also records Homebrew, Nix, and openSUSE availability.

How it is used

Operators configure one or more Proxmox API profiles and launch the TUI for interactive administration, or use subcommands to list and manage nodes, guests, storage, and tasks. Authentication may use a Proxmox password or API token; SSH keys enable shell-oriented features.

Why package nerds care

pvetui brings Proxmox VE administration into terminal-centric and homelab workflows. Its combination of an interactive TUI and JSON-capable CLI makes the same package useful both to human operators and shell or agent automation.

Timeline

2026: Official documentation describes multi-profile and multi-cluster management, plugins, and non-interactive CLI workflows.
