Proxmox CLI Cheat Sheet
Four printable pages. Eeach command is paired with what it actually does, in plain English, with real examples you can copy and adapt.
- Cluster — status, add and remove nodes, claw back quorum
- VMs — create, resize, attach an ISO, clone, live-migrate
-
Containers — the whole
pctlifecycle - Snapshots — take one before you break something
-
Backups —
vzdumpout,qmrestoreback in - Storage — add it, list it, allocate it
- Users — roles, ACLs, API tokens
Every command comes with a real example using concrete IDs, so you can adapt it instead of decoding syntax. There's also a note on why qm shutdown sometimes hangs, and what to do about it.
Made for homelabbers and sysadmins who run Proxmox and would rather not dig through the docs for the same five flags every time.
Format: PDF, 4 pages. Prints cleanly, and works just as well on a second monitor.
