Clone VM with Ansible and change ip-adress

[Molix]

Hello,

I have this playbook:

--- - name: Clone template hosts: pve2 gather_facts: no vars_prompt: - name: vm_name prompt: "please input the Vms name" private: false tasks: - name: Clone template community.general.proxmox_kvm: node: pve2 api_user: root@pam api_password: xxxxxxx api_host: 192.168.0.195 clone: TestKlon name: "{{ vm_name }}" full: false format: unspecified timeout: 500 - name: Warte auf die VM-Erstellung pause: seconds: 10 # waiting until vm ist created - name: Update community.general.proxmox_kvm: node: pve2 api_user: root@pam api_password: xxxxxxxxx api_host: 192.168.0.195 name: "{{ vm_name }}" ipconfig: ipconfig0: 'ip=192.168.0.101/24,gw=192.168.0.1' update: yes - name: Start VM community.general.proxmox_kvm: api_user: root@pam api_password: xxxxxxxxxx api_host: 192.168.0.195 node: pve2 name: "{{ vm_name }}" state: started

it works fine, only the IP is not changed.the template is an Ubuntu server and I entered the IP via netplan.Is that even possible or am I on the wrong track?
There are no error messages or anything similar
Greetings and thank you

If your VM (or template) is deployed with cloud-init, then it should work like this. If it's not a cloud init VM (or template), then it shouldn't work that way either.

it is no cloud-init,

OK thank you

I have the same issue, i'm using an Alma9 cloud-init image and I can't seem to the get the IP to change.

there are two things I want to add to this "play"
1) I want to change the disk size
2) I want to change the hostname

I know that I can change this with another playbook. but it shouldn't be an issue to set these here...

I have more info:
I was on ubuntu laptop and moved to my Almalinux9 laptop, with the generic ansible install instructions completed, I get a different amount of information in the error.
"Bad Request: Parameter verification failed. - {'ipconfig0': 'invalid format - format error\\nipconfig0. gw: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties\\n'}" "
I change this:
ipconfig:
ipconfig0: ip={{ip_address}}/{{subnet_mask}},gw={{gateway}}

to:
ipconfig:
ipconfig0: ip={{ip_address}}/{{subnet_mask}}
and it sets the IP!
