npx claudepluginhub infiquetra/infiquetra-claude-plugins --plugin home-lab-opsAutomates Proxmox VE with Ansible's community.proxmox collection for creating VMs/templates, managing clusters/users/ACLs/storage, preferring native modules over CLI like pvecm/qm.
Proxmox VE administration: VM/LXC/OCI container provisioning, storage backends, networking/SDN, clustering, high availability, API automation, cloud-init templates, backups/PBS, PCIe passthrough, and vGPU. Invoke whenever task involves any interaction with Proxmox VE — configuring hosts, managing guests, designing storage or networking, writing automation scripts, planning clusters, troubleshooting, or reviewing PVE configurations.
Provides scripts and guidance for operating Sidero Omni Proxmox providers in Talos Kubernetes clusters: check status, restart, view logs, debug registration, create machine classes, configure storage selectors.
