This PHP 5.4 library allows you to mass move and delete disks in Proxmox VE.
If you find any errors, typos or you detect that something is not working as expected please open an issue or email me [email protected]. I'll try to release a fix as soon as possible.
You do not need to install any packages on your hypervisor. You can use any machine with the PHP Cli and PHP Curl package.
