LXC AutoScale MLML-Powered Autoscaling for Proxmox

Automatically adjust LXC container resources based on real-time usage and machine learning predictions

🤖

ML-Driven Autoscaling

Uses IsolationForest anomaly detection to predict resource demands and make intelligent scaling decisions based on historical patterns.

⚡

High Performance

Batch async API client provides 10x faster configuration fetching. Handles 60+ containers with minimal latency.

🔒

Enterprise Security

API key authentication, rate limiting with localhost bypass, and comprehensive input validation on all endpoints.

🛡️

Fault Tolerant

Circuit breaker pattern prevents cascading failures. Automatic recovery from crashes with stale lock cleanup.

📊

Prometheus Metrics

Native metrics export for comprehensive observability. Track scaling actions, API requests, and container resources.

🔧

Incremental Scaling

Gradual resource adjustment prevents instability. Scale by configurable step sizes instead of jumping to extremes.

Quick Start

Install LXC AutoScale ML on your Proxmox host:

bash

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabriziosalmi/proxmox-lxc-autoscale-ml/main/install.sh | bash

Check service status:

bash

systemctl status lxc_autoscale_api lxc_monitor lxc_autoscale_ml

System Requirements

Requirement	Version
Proxmox VE	6.x or higher (tested on 8.2.4)
Python	3.x
Operating System	Linux (Debian-based)
