Question

After `pulumi up` I see my nested resources in my pulumi cloud resources tab can I fetch those outputs from the command line

Do you want the stack outputs or the list of stack resources

steep-sunset-89396 · Answer

< big island 38073> if you want to reference the resources your pulumi app just created then 1 the best way to do it is via stack references if you create another stack that depends on the first stack Or 2 as a stack output if you want to export specific attributes of the said resource like an ARN that you want to use in a shell script Like retrieving the kubeconfig after creating a k8s cluster Stack Refs Stack Output

Thanks < steep sunset 89396> looks like I m gonna have to do a bunch of reading I thought that my Javascript code having something like `export const talos0vmid = talos0 vmid` was enough to declare an output Also Outputs and resources are clearly not the same But this is confusing ```$ pulumi up Previewing update dev View Live Type Name Plan pulumi pulumi Stack pulumi pxmx dev Outputs + talos0vmid output lt string gt + talos1vmid output lt string gt Resources 3 unchanged``` But also ```$ pulumi stack output Current stack outputs 0 No output values currently in this stack```

Interesting Here s a trick maybe for you I usually use the management console to explore the properties of my resources and pick what I need And then in typescript I usually do a bag ` prop1 val1 prop2 val2 ` of the properties I want as outputs In your example above did you run `pulumi up` or `pulumi preview` Running `pulumi preview` won t alter the state of your stack You need to let `pulumi up` finish in order to get the outputs be exported by the CLI

It was `pulumi up`

When you explore your stack resources in the console do you see any value for ` vmid` What provider are you using by the way

big-island-38073 · Answer

I m pretty comfortable destructuring to get at the data I wand in JS TS But these variables aprear to be nested Outputs I am unable to do the simplest things Access a nested Array JSON stringify For example this is one my resource s properties It s a Proxmox VM and I m trying to get it s mac address ```networks bridge vmbr0 firewall false linkDown false macaddr 9E 28 27 8A 97 0E model virtio queues 0 rate 0 tag 1 ```

The provisioning of this VM is working fine but I need to finish the job with some external scripts which I hope to automate with better pulumi integration But for now all I want is to provision the VM s which is working And get the macaddress so I can decide if pulumi is a realistic way to go

steep-sunset-89396 · Answer

I m not familiar with proxmox but the export of the MAC address should be like `export const macaddr = talos0 networks 0 macaddr `

steep-sunset-89396 · Answer

Also looks like the proxmox is not an officially supported provider

steep-sunset-89396 · Answer

I m wondering have you tried to export your stack and explore into the json `pulumi stack export gt stack json` I found it s also a good way to look into what s usually available

big-island-38073 · Answer

Yes I agree it should be `export const macaddr = talos0 networks 0 macaddr` but that yields this error in VSCode ```Element implicitly has an any type because expression of type 0 can t be used to index type Output lt QemuVMNetwork | undefined gt Property 0 does not exist on type Output lt QemuVMNetwork | undefined gt ``` Looks like you found the answer though ```$ pulumi stack export | jq r deployment resources 2 outputs networks 0 macaddr F2 97 D7 F8 24 C5 $ pulumi stack export | jq r deployment resources 3 outputs networks 0 macaddr 9E 28 27 8A 97 0E``` Bingo

big-island-38073 · Answer

Perhaps it is because the resources I am creating are actually done with a the ` ``` matchlighter pulumi proxmoxve``` Which is a wrapper around a terraform provider I know I am really asking for trouble

big-island-38073 · Answer

Thanks < steep sunset 89396> that totally unblocked me Once I kludge something together I can redo it properly Perhaps I should be writing my own provider

steep-sunset-89396 · Answer

Yes if proxmox is your bread and butter and you heavily rely on it then you may want to create your own provider Maybe a dynamic provider at first <https www pulumi com blog dynamic providers >

big-island-38073 · Answer

Yessssss

big-island-38073 · Answer

I am really trying to get something pretty specific to work in an automated way Proxmox is just great to provision VM s in my homelab but I want it automated Talos is a new Kubernetes distribution based on an immutable filesystem Start up two empty VM s with the Talos ` iso` Run Talos bootstrapping code to inject configuration into the two newly created VM s This is where I need to turn the above mentioned mac address into an IP address Export the kubeconfig from the new cluster Get on with my life with a brand new Kubernetes cluster I am assuming from then I can follow the normal kubernetes instructions Hopefully the DynamicProvider you mentioned above will do the trick

That looks really cool what you re doing for sure
