- β
**VM/LXC Notes Management** (HTML/Markdown support) π
## π Latest Addition: Notes Management
**Completed**: 2025-11-01
### What It Does
- Read, update, and remove notes for VMs and LXC containers
- Support for HTML, Markdown, and plain text formats
- Automatic format detection
- Secret reference integration (`secret://` pattern)
- Content validation with security warnings
- Template library with 5 pre-built templates
- Backup functionality before updates/removals
### New Tools (7)
1. `proxmox-vm-notes-read` - Read VM notes
2. `proxmox-vm-notes-update` - Update VM notes
3. `proxmox-vm-notes-remove` - Remove VM notes
4. `proxmox-lxc-notes-read` - Read LXC notes
5. `proxmox-lxc-notes-update` - Update LXC notes
6. `proxmox-lxc-notes-remove` - Remove LXC notes
7. `proxmox-notes-template` - Generate note templates
### Security
- β
Verified safe for documentation storage
- β NOT for storing actual secrets (use secret-store)
- β
Supports secret references for integration
- β
Content validation prevents accidental secret storage
