Well, life can be so simple sometimes. Can confirm my instance ID is in fact used, based on `/run/cloud-init/.instance-id`. I'll add to the tracker that this behaviour is not really intuitive. Thanks again!

There's a known issue (https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1739) where "each time you update the cloud-init configuration, or manualy regenerate the image, the instance-id is changed." To ensure that `instance_id` never changes again unless we explicitly do so—the only 'foolproof'...

Got it. Just created a qcow2 image from scratch; can confirm that 'VM ID prefix' is always there, so not specific to my case. Thanks @bbgeek17!

Hi @bbgeek17, I was moreso referring to the VM ID as prefix (`105/`). ZFS to local is just for testing purposes. Real migration will be Ceph to Ceph. Regarding the linked-clone-ness: I'm completely fine with VM disks being converted to full clones. In fact, it has my preference; creating...

I'm migrating some VMs to different storage. Some of those VMs are linked clones, the parent of which would still be on the old storage. Should this go well? I tried this in a lab environment, and it looks like the linked clone is converted to a full clone (?), although the disk name format...

Pretty sure I just found the deviation in `resolv.conf` that causes the hash to change. That was a very useful hint, thanks. What throws me off is that SSH host keys aren't re-generated every time this happens, while the `ssh` module runs with `once-per-instance` frequency. I'll think a bit...

Hi @bbgeek17, Thanks for your reply. Your comment on `/etc/resolv.conf` is actually a very good one - I found that five nodes in the cluster have a deviating one. To see if that's an issue, I migrated the VM - that I could reproduce the issue on consistently, with every migration - to a...

Hi, For some time now, we've been having an issue where Cloud-init re-runs on VMs that have already been operating for months or years. By 'run', I mean that first-boot-only stages run again, such as upgrading packages. This is obviously very problematic in production, as an 'innocent' reboot...

Can you be more specific about the issues/doubts you're facing?

Hi, We use postfwd2, which ratelimits stuff based on the amount of RCPTs. I noticed that postfwd2 counts messages twice, because each one has RCPTs: the original message, and the one relayed to pmg-smtp-filter and then re-injected (using `content_filter`). Here's someone else with a similar...

Hi, This question is only slightly PMG-related. I am mostly looking for other users' input. I use PMG as a smarthost for several purposes, where email sent from a specific domain is sent by a specific system user. Using the mail tracking functionality, I can look up which email was sent from a...

Hi, From the admin guide and forums, I gather that email sent to the internal port should not be SPF-filtered. It makes no sense to do so for relayed mail, where PMG is a smarthost. However, this mail is being filtered: it's rejected because of the KAM_DMARC_REJECT SpamAssassin rule (6 points...

I did not read the documentation correctly! Thank you.
