Hello there.
I am attempting to create a vm or rather vm template using the proxmox api via proxmoxxer.
But I run into multiple issues.
1. Creating a template does not work at all via api or rather creating a bootable vm with cloudinit
2. Cloud init it self from template does not work using api. (it creates a vm from the template but cloud init does not set password, ip nor any other param)
Here is how I create (or attempt to) the vm. Anyone notice an issue? I oriented myself at the help article of proxmox and clone it to api calls.
The vm of this function seems to have cloud init and a drive with right size but bootloops. (no bootable media)
And when I create a vm from a template created like in the proxmox guide. It boots alright but no cloudinit function or setup is ran.
