    IDE cloud-init volumes are not usable when cold-booting a VM

    That's probably my bad -- I see it there now. I think I got ahead of myself when writing the post.

    Proxmox VE 7.3 released!

    I had a problem upgrading from 7.2 -> 7.3 on my home machine. I think a reboot will fix it, but I want to report it. Is replying in-thread the correct place to do this, or should I start a fresh thread?

    IDE cloud-init volumes are not usable when cold-booting a VM

    Putting the cloud-init drive (ide2) in the boot-order seemed to do the trick. This is available via the API, but not via the WebUI. Were you thinking that having it in the boot order initializes the IDE device? Testing Results Note that on all subsequent tests below, I made some changes...

    IDE cloud-init volumes are not usable when cold-booting a VM

    Interestingly enough, it won't let me. I don't think I can add CloudInit drives to the boot order (see screenshots below). At least it won't let me through the WebUI. I do want to take a moment to clarify that I'm not actually trying to boot off the CloudInit drive. I think you're aware of that...

    IDE cloud-init volumes are not usable when cold-booting a VM

    Thinking through this a bit, I'm really doubting this is a proxmox-specific bug. In my head I'm imagining it being one of a few things 1) Qemu IDE device bug 2) Kernel bug regarding this IDE devices 3) an issue with how distributions are building their devices. It seems like it *could* be a...

    IDE cloud-init volumes are not usable when cold-booting a VM

    I tested out a few different cloud images. What I found intriguing, but also confusing is that Several distributions exhibited similar behavior, but ever so slightly different Changing to SeaBios fixed the issue in SOME cases Increasing the core count made it WORSE in some cases Images used...

    IDE cloud-init volumes are not usable when cold-booting a VM

    Hi everyone, I think I found an issue with cloud-init volumes. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this and I'm also wondering if anyone else can replicate what I'm seeing. It seems that when cold-starting a VM with a cloud-init volume attached to IDE2, that the OS (Alma9 Cloud image in...

    Common practices for managing VM images?

    I think I may have found what I was looking for... https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/new-vm-from-cloud-init-image-via-api.111091/#post-482420 Now if anyone is interested in seeing this in the terraform provider, comment on the github issue :P...

    Common practices for managing VM images?

    @t.lamprecht - I see this is in the [7.2 roadmap](https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_7.2) now. I remember finding some sparse docs on how to use this via the API, but I for the life of me cannot find this anymore. Do you happen to have a link handy or have the right search string?

    Custom ACME URLs / External Accounts

    Hi, At work we have a provider other than LetsEncrypt providing our certificates. It requires us to specify a custom ACME server, a custom Key ID and HMAC-KEY. Our service doesn't require the do the domain assertion (DNS or otherwise). I think in some cases, certbot will "provide a challenge"...

    Move cloud-init drive

    This seems like a really silly request, but could we get a feature added that would allow us to move cloud-init volumes? Here are a few scenarios that I can think of: Migrate storage from local to clustered, or vice-versa Migrate storage from one local volume to another, or remote-to-remote...

    [SOLVED] Upgrade to 7 - No Network after Reboot

    TY, enabling networking fixed it for me. I likely created the situation myself when I tried to clean up some uninstalled packages. This was an in-place upgrade from 6.5 -> 7.1 and then I decided to go clean out some old kernels and purge some packages with an "rc" status. I'm not entirely sure...

    pvestatd leak creates 3000+ processes, consumes all RAM & SWAP, and halts/reboots machine over a 4 hour cycle. Then repeats.

    For anyone in the Googling around, I think I ran into this bug on Proxmox-VE 6.4-13. Turns out I had a Graphite metric server configured using UDP, except the server was offline. System became nearly unresponsive, lots of Out-of-Memory messages on the console. When I finally got logged in, I...

    [SOLVED] CertBot with dns-01 and CNAMEs

    After some poking around, I did get it figured out... 1. Configure ACME through the Proxmox UI. 2. VIA cli one of the Proxmox Hosts, edit /etc/pve/nodes/$NODE/config 3. On the acmedomain0 line, add this to the end: ,alias=myserver.domain2.com So the file should look something like this: acme...

    [SOLVED] CertBot with dns-01 and CNAMEs

    Hello, Has anyone implemented CertBot with dns-01 using CNAMEs/aliases? I read through Wiki - DNS Validation through CNAME Alias and it seems to support it through the UI (with exception of one step), however I get to this step of the instructions where it says to edit the node configuration...

    Common practices for managing VM images?

    The main reason I'm taking this approach is that I'm working on infrastructure bootstrapping scripts right now. So our goal is to make very few assumptions about what stuff is existing in proxmox and/or what other infrastructure exists. IE: don't depend on a CI/CD system. The infrastructure...

    Common practices for managing VM images?

    Hello, I'm working on some best practices for managing VM disk images for use as templates. I really like how we can do this for LXC, where there's a library to select from and build the container that's independent of any core count/memory sizing. The specific kind of images I'm wanting to...
