All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Added

• get_system_identity() (napalm-device-types 4.9 SystemIdentityMixin): the node's SMBIOS system UUID, product serial and board serial over the exec path, vendor placeholders empty. netOrk matches a server to its BMC on these. Requires napalm-device-types 4.9.0; version 0.2.0.
• FreeBSD and OpenBSD guests: create_vm_from_cloud_init(guest_os=...) with GUEST_AGENTS from napalm-device-types 3.0. A BSD guest gets OS type other and a network-config v2 snippet of its own (cicustom network=), because FreeBSD's nuageinit skips runcmd on the v1 Proxmox generates. OpenBSD's agent runs over ISA serial behind serial0, as the image keeps its console on com0. An unknown guest_os is refused before anything is created.
• Packed cloud images (FreeBSD's .qcow2.xz) are unpacked on the node after the packed file's checksum is verified; only the unpacked file is cached. Proxmox's download-url unpacks ISOs only, so they always go over SSH.

Fixed

• get_vm_status no longer reports a loopback address as the VM's IP when the agent lists loopback under another name than lo (lo0 on the BSDs, listed first by OpenBSD).
• destroy_vm reads the VM's cloud-init snippets before deleting the VM, and removes all of them; it read them afterwards, when the config was gone (#15).
• Cloud images for create_vm_from_cloud_init are downloaded by Proxmox itself when the node has an active storage with content type import (Proxmox 8.2+): download-url with checksum verification, then import-from as the root disk. The image no longer passes through the node's root filesystem. Files are named netork-<url hash>-<name>.<qcow2|raw|vmdk> and reused; Ubuntu's .img is stored as .qcow2. Without such a storage, or for an image type Proxmox cannot import, the SSH download into /var/lib/vz/template/netork-images is used as before.
• HypervisorDriver contract methods start_vm, stop_vm, reboot_vm, suspend_vm and get_vm_config. They accept a VM's name or vmid, raise ValueError/RuntimeError instead of returning a result dict, and wait for the Proxmox task to finish. power_vm is unchanged.
• Snapshot methods get_vm_snapshots, create_vm_snapshot, delete_vm_snapshot, rollback_vm_snapshot for VMs and containers (containers never save RAM state).
• reboot_host() restarts the node through the API instead of SSH.

Changed

• get_vms() reports vmid as a string ("100"), following napalm-device-types 2.0. Ordering stays numeric.
