Stabilize node status, cluster-wide Ceph OSD ids, and QEMU cpu utilization so status/list no longer 500 on model strings; align pulumi defaults to pve1; add bilingual testing docs with the 2026-07-18 ci-all + pulumi-tests pass.

# FAQ
|
||
|
||
## Is this a real Proxmox hypervisor?
|
||
|
||
No. It is an API and state simulator. Guests, storages, Ceph, and HA are durable
|
||
PostgreSQL models, not KVM/LXC processes.
|
||
|
||
## Do you really cover API versions 6, 7, 8, and 9?
|
||
|
||
Yes — **100%** of declared methods for each bundled major have registered
|
||
semantic handlers. Switch majors via cold-start snapshot or runtime hot-swap.
|
||
See [API versions](api-versions.md) and [Compatibility](compatibility.md).
|
||
|
||
## Can I use this in CI for Terraform / Ansible / custom clients?
|
||
|
||
Yes. That is a primary use case. Pin the API major, seed a profile, and point
|
||
clients at **HTTP `:8006`** (Compose) or your Ingress **HTTPS** hostname on
|
||
Kubernetes. See [Clients](clients.md). For the
|
||
Pulumi surface suite see [`pulumi-tests/`](../pulumi-tests/README.md).
|
||
Full test map and latest recorded results: [Testing](testing.md).
|
||
|
||
## Why do some OpenID / LDAP / ACME / Ceph calls “succeed” without remotes?
|
||
|
||
Those domains persist **local** simulator state. They intentionally do not call
|
||
real external systems.
|
||
|
||
## Does registry coverage mean perfect Proxmox parity?
|
||
|
||
It means every declared route has a durable handler and is subject to the
|
||
project’s verification suites for majors 6–9. Exact edge-case parity with a
|
||
physical cluster can still differ; use evidence endpoints and your own client
|
||
tests for certification claims.
|
||
|
||
## Where is the Web UI?
|
||
|
||
[http://localhost:8006/](http://localhost:8006/) after `make up`.
|
||
|
||
## Can I deploy on Kubernetes?
|
||
|
||
Yes. Use the Helm chart under `helm/proxmox-api-simulator` with the published
|
||
Hub image. Ingress + cert-manager Let's Encrypt is supported — see
|
||
[Kubernetes / Helm](kubernetes.md).
|
||
|
||
## Which node name does the small seed use?
|
||
|
||
`pve01`. Profiles `medium` and `ha-demo` use **`pve1` / `pve2` / `pve3`**.
|
||
|
||
## What ports does real Proxmox VE use vs this simulator?
|
||
|
||
Real PVE serves the Web UI and REST API on **HTTPS `:8006`** only. Related
|
||
management ports include SPICE `:3128`, VNC `:5900–5999`, SSH `:22`, and
|
||
Corosync UDP `:5405–5412`. Port `:8007` on real hardware is typically
|
||
**Proxmox Backup Server**, not PVE.
|
||
|
||
This lab publishes plain **HTTP `:8006`** in Compose (same port number as real
|
||
PVE). HTTPS belongs on Kubernetes Ingress. Optional proxmoxer TLS:
|
||
`docker compose --profile tls` on `:8443`. Host `:8007` is **not** used. Details:
|
||
[Ports and TLS](configuration.md#ports-and-tls).
