ansible

Dear all, I am trying to clone my VM template while setting up a static ip. As I am using Ansible, I try to use the community.general.proxmox_kvm module. However, I do not get the VM to have a static ip. For the template I use a Debian 12 (bookworm) template using Learn Linux Tv's guide. Below...

This is a weird one, as I'm honestly not sure if it's a firewall thing, some kind of out-of-the box security thing or an Ansible thing but here goes: I've got a fresh LXC container that I'm planning to use Ansible to configure. I have setup some firewall rules so that SSH into it just fine...

Because Alpine's container doesn't ship with openssh, or configure it, it's difficult/impossible to use under automated conditions like under Ansible. When doing it by hand it's not such a big issue. Unfortunately, there's no easy way (I can find at least) that Ansible can login through the...

Looking at templating out our deployments, and found this thread from ten years ago which uses ansible shell combined with pvesh, which would work just fine but I'm hoping there's some ansible.community.something module that's actually intended for automation of proxmox hosts themselves. Am...

I am trying to setup an os_patching role to log into proxmox and take snapshots. I have installed the ansible collection after doing some research. I am running this on RHEL 9. Here is the output of the ansible collections: ~]$ ansible-galaxy collection list #...

Hello, currently I'm writing an ansible / python / proxmoxer update script for my 2,5-node(*) cluster using the webapi for proxmox. Before I start an update for a node, I set the maintainence mode and disable all replication jobs. I can get all replication jobs via webapi - but how can I check...

I am trying to automate creation of my Ubuntu VM in Proxmox using Ansible, proxmoxer, and cloudinit. I've seen (old) tutorial videos download the Ubuntu cloudinit IMG file to the /var/lib/vz/images path and then successfully use the image file by using the volume name...

Hello, I have been spending the last couple of days making a Vagrant-provider plugin work, which seems to have been originally created by a German company called TelCat GmbH (no longer exists). The code base is outdated: https://github.com/SecSamDev/vagrant-proxmox After creating a legacy...

Hello! I want to share a small home project I’ve been working on for the past few months. I was looking for solutions for a certain implementation for packer and ansible on the forum, but I couldn’t find it here or in any GitHub repos. I used Packer for template creation because it gives a...

I'm using Ansible to connect to containers and VM's via SSH, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it using PVE as a proxy, given there are tools such as pct exec, pct enter, and pct console that allow Proxmox to send commands directly to the containers. This would allow to connect to...

In order to get Ansible lxc-container module to work on PVE, I'm trying to install python3-lxc, but it is conflicting with liblxc1. There are other reports of lxc related packages, such as lxc-templates, and others conflicting with the same library, but I could not find a solution. Am I missing...

Hi all, bit of a weird one in terms of direction with this issue but that's what I need help with, the direction. I'm using a Proxmox node (love it) just started using Cloud init and VM templates more. I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with what to do about automation in regards to deploying using...

Hi! I've been facing the above mentioned error (check the tread title) for the past few days and I've got no solution yet. The error appears every single time I create & start a new LXC using OpenTofu and Ansible from a remote machine (using Debian through WSL). Actually OpenTofu doesn't...

Hello, I was just curious about the strange permissions for tags: With the VM.Config.Options permission on /vms, one can add any tags they want, except the registered ones. No matter the individual configuration of registered ones. This setting can only be restricted more, not less. So, for...

Hey guys, i am an ansible enthusisast and would like to start a discussion on your usecase and my usecase regarding ansible. I am not an ansible expert but I love utilizing ansible as much as possible. Maybe I can get some ideas and you can get some ideas from me. So here it is: I have a vm...

My end goal is for a non-root user to import a .qcow2 image in order to create a VM as part of a CI/CD pipeline. I'm currently trying to use the Ansible proxmox_kvm module. Unsurprisingly, I'm hitting the following error due to permissions issues: $ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml...

I would like to ask if there is any possibility for Ansible and Proxmox to work together in CICD stack?

Hi Community, Ich habe mal mir mal die Mühe gemacht und ein bissel gebastelt. Dabei herausgekommen ist ein Git Repository, mit dem man Debian mit einem USB-Stick per preseed Datei automatisch installieren kann und danach per Ansible Proxmox installiert...

Hi. Im trying to use Terraform to build VMs on proxmox and config them with Ansible. Does someone have a sample code or playbooks for ansible. I have some stuggels getting everything together. Hopefully someone can help me.
