#Selfhosting people who use #Proxmox, I'm a contributor to the terraform provider for proxmox and I need your help. Please boost.

I'd like to get access to several Proxmox servers for testing purposes. This will let me determine which issues are specific to particular versions of Proxmox and allow us to do regression testing.

Why? As you may know, there's no way to downgrade Proxmox. So if I upgraded to 8.1, I could no longer test compatibility with 7.4 or 8.0. I can't afford to buy, let alone operate 3 test servers, which is why I'm asking for your help. Lets divide up the burdon by letting me focus on software development and testing, while others in the community provide servers to test against.

I'd strongly prefer that these be dedicated test servers because I'm going to be throwing i untested code against them (by definition). But if you trust Proxmox permissions to keep me in my little area and not mess up your production VMs, that's up to you. It should work, but I err on the side of safety.
