Sergey Antropoff 48df10b17e Prepare 0.1.0 for lab release: durable handlers, HTTP Compose, CI, and pulumi-tests.
- Harden DB-backed handlers and seed profiles; align client wire shapes for
  cluster resources, QEMU config, and node SSL fields
- Serve plain HTTP on Compose :8006; keep TLS optional (--profile tls) and
  terminate HTTPS at Kubernetes Ingress
- Add pulumi-tests (full contract surface majors 6–9 + BPG lifecycle) and
  make pulumi-tests
- Ship bilingual docs, CHANGELOG, SECURITY, CONTRIBUTING, and GitHub Actions
  (make ci + Compose/Helm validation)

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 and Compatibility.

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. For the Pulumi surface suite see pulumi-tests/.

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 projects verification suites for majors 69. 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/ 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.

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 :59005999, SSH :22, and Corosync UDP :54055412. 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.
