I'm trying to setup automated installation via proxmox-auto-install-assistant and am running into issues with the filter in the network section. Looking for ways to debug that, I see this paragraph:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Automated_Installation#Filters
The proxmox-auto-install-assistant utility can display these properties and allows you to test filters in advance. The utility is available in the installer environment (via its debug mode) and on already existing Proxmox Virtual Environment installation.

When I boot the PVE ISO (same with PBS) and go to Advanced Options -> Install Proxmox VE (Graphical, Debug Mode) -> enter "exit" at the first stop -> root@proxmox:/#
I can see the following tools:
  • proxmox-auto-installer
  • proxmox-boot-tool
  • proxmox-chroot
  • proxmox-fetch-answer
  • proxmox-low-level-installer
  • proxmox-post-hook
  • proxmox-tui-installer
but no proxmox-auto-install-assistant. I've tested this with with the ISOs of PVE 8.4, 9.1 and PBS 4.1.

Am I missing something or is that an error in the wiki?
 
Hi,

just booted up the Proxmox VE 9.1-1 ISO to check, it is indeed missing!
Would you mind creating an entry on our bugtracker for this? https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/
There it can be tracked properly for the next release. (Best to also link back to this thread, for reference!)

In the meantime, as a workaround, you can install proxmox-auto-install-assistant in debug mode by running:

Code: 
dhclient -nw
dpkg -i /cdrom/proxmox/packages/proxmox-archive-keyring_4.0_all.deb
echo 'deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve trixie pve-no-subscription' >/etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt install -y proxmox-auto-install-assistant

The apt update step will complain about the Ceph repository, you can safely ignore that warning.
