The LLM autonomously built a custom Proxmox extension, then successfully handled resource monitoring, LXC/VM management, snapshot creation, and VM provisioning. Limitations emerged around multi-node configuration persistence and executing terminal commands inside LXCs via pct exec. The setup ran inside a nested VM for safety. Overall, the author found it surprisingly capable for routine Proxmox management tasks despite the rough edges. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
