[FEATURE] Merge proxmox roles in a collection

[ulvida]

We have several roles wrapping proxmox ansible modules, to manage a Proxmox VE cluster. With ansible evolution to collections, these roles deserve to be merged in a proxmox collection.

We have published the first versions of this collection. As the new API of ansible galaxy allows to have other repos than github, we have started these work in our gitlab (which is presently not available from the internet, but will be very soon, as soon as we upgrade it to a secure version). I wanted to explore these new possibilities, and it's easier for us to do this work in the same forge than our IaC, but the discussion is open about the official repo we want for this collection.

Another community issue we can discuss here is the namespace of the collection. UdelaRInterior refers to an institution, I think it's better to underline the ownership of the community. I propose cielito which was the name of our first project for a set of cloud services. (Almost 10 years after our platform is quite coherent with this vision).

We own the cielito.uy zone and the cielito ansible galaxy namespace, but the github cielito namespce is already taken. maybe we can talk with the owner.

While the Galaxy API allows you to import roles from many sources, the community that uses and has contributed to this set of roles is still here on GitHub. Impossible to expect the same amount of public to arrive and collaborate in a GitLab instance with such long response times to resolve updates and get back online.

I agree that grouping the roles under the namespache cielito is consistent with the origins of the project while disassociating it from an institution (In fact, git.interior.edu.uy is linked to the same institution). I contacted the owner of the namespace here on GitHub and he was kind enough to transfer it to us for our community project.

cielito is ours!

awesome.
I would like to propose a PR to your repo https://git.interior.edu.uy/cielito/proxmox/-/tree/master so we nee to wait for the collection repo being available in github.
Am I correct ?

Bonjour Florent! Merci pour ta contribution et ta proposition de contribution, qui est plus que bienvenue!! Thanks for your comment and contribution proposal, which is welcome @flotho !

On git.interior.edu.uy, we still don't have any public authentication such as openId, our identity manager, https://login.interior.edu.uy/. is open to registry. If you agree to register there, you will be able to log into https://git.interior.edu.uy. You can then fork the repo and submit your proposal, and eventually start a thighter collaboration.

[flotho]

great, I'm gonna make some proposal here.

hi @ulvida
Impossible for me to register :

Any tips ?

[ulvida]

Any tips ?

Some stupid restriction we have to open to any permitted character...
By the time we tune that, I'm manually creating an account, I send you your initial credentials by mail.

[flotho]

we're progressing, register worked fine on login space but impossible to login on the gitlab instance

[ulvida]

Sorry! I forgot to put you in servicies ldap groups. Your are now in gitlab, nextcloud (nube.interior.edu.uy) and Element (chat.softwarelibre.uy and matrix.softwarelibre.uy) as i f you had subscribe yourself. Try now, please. Bonne journée!

[flotho]

done :

let's work from now ;-)

here we are : https://git.interior.edu.uy/cielito/proxmox/-/merge_requests/1

IMHO, this issue could be fixed as it's already available on gitlab.
