Using tags for placing vm on high perf hosts/fast storage

[swe-mbernhard]

Hi.
Cool project! I could see it would be even more useful if one could use tags for deciding which storage and hosts the vm is allowed to run on, based on VM tags.

F.ex my host PVE01 and PVE02 has a 3,6 GHz CPU and PVE03 and PVE04 has 2.00 GHz. I want vm01 to be allowed on PVE01 and 02, but not PVE03 and PVE04. VM01 has a "fast-cpu" tag.

My storage storage01 is a really quick nvme disk and storage02 is a rather slow NAS with spinning rust. I want VM01 to be allowed to run on storage01, but vm02 has no tags, and should be allowed on either storage.

I'm about to install a test of this software and give it a go!
thanks

Hey @swe-mbernhard,

thank you very much, happy to hear!

Nice request, can clearly see the use case here. While we can already to such things for nodes with the affinity groups (https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB?tab=readme-ov-file#affinity-rules--grouping-relationships) this might get a bit tricky for storages and creating a relationship. Let me have a look at this without making changes to the Proxmox upstream UI.

Thanks for the feedback and idea!
