By encapsulating infrastructure within an extensible monorepository - recursively resolved from Git submodules at runtime - Proxmox-GitOps provides a comprehensive Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) abstraction for an entire, automated, container-based infrastructure.Core Concepts:- Recursive Self-management: Control plane seeds itself by pushing its monorepository onto a locally bootstrapped instance, triggering a pipeline that recursively provisions the control plane onto PVE.- Monorepository: Centralizes infrastructure as comprehensive IaC artifact (for mirroring, like the project itself on Github) using submodules for modular composition.- Single Source of Truth: Git represents the desired infrastructure state.- Loose coupling: Containers are decoupled from the control plane, enabling runtime replacement and independent operation.

Could you build this?
No Building a recursive GitOps Infrastructure-as-Code framework for Proxmox requires deep specialized expertise in Linux virtualization, LXC/QEMU internals, kernel networking, and distributed state reconciliation.
What it would actually take: A real system requires deep integration with Proxmox VE REST APIs, low-level Linux networking (VLANs, bridges, SDN), ZFS/Ceph storage orchestration, and a deterministic state-reconciliation engine. The hardest part is safely handling runtime submodule recursion, drift detection, and automated rollbacks without corrupting hypervisor state or causing network partitions. It requires experienced systems/infrastructure engineers with deep Proxmox and Linux systems programming knowledge.
