The AI spins up and tears down virtual machines on his garage server for him

The AI can create, snapshot, delete, start and restart VMs on his garage Proxmox box and spin up spot instances for hardware tests he does not have locally.

How it works

  1. The AI gets control of the Proxmox box in his garage
  2. Creates, snapshots, deletes, starts and restarts VMs
  3. Spins up spot instances for hardware tests he does not have locally

Why it’s worth knowing

Full control of the hypervisor, including deletion, is handed over.
