pve_virtiofs

Setup virtiofs shares between Proxmox PVE host and guest VM.

⚠️ Note: Due to this limitation, args for the VM are not set using community.general.proxmox_kvm, but with ansible.builtin.lineinfile. This could erase your previous args. Proceed at your own discretion.

Inspired by yaro014 on Proxmox Forum and Arch Wiki's QEMU Entry.

Requirements

• community.general.proxmox_kvm collection
• ansible.posix collection
• proxmoxer Python module on PVE host
