Technical limitations to running this exporter remotely from the proxmox nodes
Starttoaster opened this issue · 2 comments
Are there any technical limitations from running this in, say, a virtual machine running on top of, or completely separately from, the proxmox cluster it's exporting metrics from? As far as I can tell, this exporter assumes it's being run on a Proxmox VE host, but it just collects metrics from an HTTP API that Proxmox exposes.
My goal would be to run this in the same k8s cluster VMs I run on top of Proxmox, rather than install this directly on my Proxmox hosts as a separate bespoke thing.
Furthering the same goal, is there any appetite for say, a helm chart to install this in a kubernetes cluster environment?

No limitations. Running prometheus-pve-exporter in its own container/pod/vm is certainly supported.
People who like to contribute their deployments scripts are free to do so. Please start with your own repo. For a start we can link to that from the readme.
