ansible

I am attempting to write an Ansible playbook that sets up my Proxmox cluster. One issue I'm running into is pveceph install doesn't have a non-interactive option. I've tried setting DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive on the task like this: - name: Install Ceph environment: DEBIAN_FRONTEND...

I am looking for a way to build a Proxmox server from an ISO disk. Effectively, I need to build a field server that is a Proxmox-based system built with the automated installation file. The running Ansible-pull as an Ansible user to execute a build operation to install and set up multiple VMs...

I cannot get tags on a VM created with Ansible, no matter how I try it. All I can do is set the tag manually after the VM has been created and started. The template I use is created in a separate stage, also with Ansible. I could of course try to set tags on the template, but I don't want to...

Hello, I'm dealing with proxmox inventory source in ansible. I have collection community.proxmox in it's latest version 1.3.0. As I learned from community.proxmox.proxmox inventory docs, We are able to set ansible_host with compose. I have my ansible.cfg: [defaults] inventory =...

I have been working Proxmox for about a year and a half now and feel pretty comfortable with the platform. I can create VMs/containers, manage storage (using Ceph), handle networking, create cloud-init templates, etc. Now I want to take the next step and automate my infrastructure. I have some...

Hello I'm trying to do basic configuration via Ansible: users, acl, passwords, etc. And i'm kinda stuck with populating users Looks like user.cfg does not accept comments and it is mandatory to have blank line between each definition of user. Otherwise login is breaking. So manipulating...

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...
