cloud-init

I have been using Cloud-Init for the past six months and Ceph for the past three months. I tried to set up Cloud-Init to work with CephFS and RBD, but I am having trouble booting a basic virtual machine. Is there a post or tutorial available for this particular use case? I have searched...

When passing a yescrypt hashed password to a cloud-init kvm, the value gets rehashed into a sha256crypt, instead of passing the yescrypt hash directly, as it does with sha512crypt hashes. Seems to be due to code not recognising the "$y$j9T$...." as an hashed password, for example in...

Hello everyone, I'm a recent vmware-->proxmox convert. So, please bear with my ignorance. Goal: Create cloud-init vm template customized (at parity) with my vmware cloud-init scripts to make cloning/creating new VMs an easy operation. Issue: I'm able to get an ubuntu 22.04 clout-init template...

Hi Team, I am assigning 2 IP addresses in the VM with the help of Cloud-init and I have connected 2 Adapters as well (1 for each IP), Even though only 1 IP is pinging, the IP that is pinging is the least one. I have tried assigning IPs single and both the IPs work, but when I am assigning 2...

Hi Experts, If we create vm using cloud-init, we see there is no swap partition. If we want to have swap partition what needs to be done? Regards

Hello Experts, I'm using cloud-init config to partition the disk like below: resize_rootfs: false disk_setup: /dev/vda: table_type: 'mbr' layout: - 25 - 50 - 25 overwrite: true fs_setup: - label: root_fs filesystem: 'ext4' device: /dev/vda...

Hello, I am trying to create a cloud-init template for my VMs. I am on Proxmox VE 8.1.5. I am able to create the template, but when I clone it and attempt to start the clone, the cloud-init process never gets kicked off during boot (no ssh keys are generated, and ultimately I get a startup...

Good evening guys since the last minor update of our Proxmox VE instances the creation with cloudinit is broken. We always added the parameter ' scsi10: "local-lvm:cloudinit"' to the API request, but since the last version the Proxmox VE instance fails at creation with the virtual machine with...

Hello, I need to add several entries to the guest VM "DNS domain" using Proxmox. As result the guest VM hostname changes to the combined DNS domains name: The "DNS domain" field supposed to have only one "."-separated entry. Please advice how I can add several DNS domains in Proxmox WEB GUI.

I am trying to automate up to date cloud images for Ubuntu and Debian VM templates. Once a template has been cloned using linked clones, it is not possible to delete the template, so I just change the disk to be used in new clones, while the existing clones can still link to previous disk...

Hi all, I've been trying to deploy machines via the Proxmox VE API by cloning an existing template and configuring it with cloud-init. Sometimes this works, however most times my VMs either get stuck in a bootloop or get stuck in initramfs: Bootloop: Initramfs: ALERT! UUID=<UUID> does not...

I have some services which I deploy using cloud-init on another virtualization environment. Now I need to move to proxmox and smh need to reuse the same logic to deploy VMs. I need it to be possible to deploy vm's with my cloud-init data as I used before. not just passign a username & password...

After banging my head for about a day as to why a CentOS 7 VM created via the latest official cloud-init image just wouldn't have networking at all, on both a Proxmox 7 & a Proxmox 8 server with routed networking at Hetzner, here's a short guide that might benefit others... As always, your...

Hey, when using user:RANDOM password in a custom.yaml, is it possible to get the output of the passwords set to the task status window in the webgui? The config works, but I have to be fast to attach to the VM on a first boot to catch the passwords. I'm aware that I should use public keys, but...

Hi, so I am building a Debian 12 VM template with cloud-init. I basically have everything working already, except the automatic resizing for the disk. When trying to run sudo growpart /dev/vda 5, it fails because of No space left on device.. Here is the full command output: ciuser@debian:~$...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share an issue I encountered while working with Proxmox VE New versions (After 7.1) regarding cloud-init and network configuration. It seems that there have been changes in behavior from older versions, and I wanted to discuss this for the benefit of the community...

We're taking a little break in our series "GPU/PCI Passthrough on Proxmox", I must say that the fourth article on OpenBSD gave me a hard time. So I thought it was an opportunity to take stock of the different methods of installing OpenBSD on our favorite hypervisor. We will consider different...

I also asked in stackoverflow, but trying here. I am updating my Ansible PVE deployment to create cloud image templates. I have a working shell script, and I just converted the commands to an Ansible "shell" command, the results are weird, sometimes working, sometimes not, sometimes I end up...

Hi. I followed along Techno Tim's tutorial on how you can create a VM from a Cloud Init image. I used Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04 to create a VM. Without starting it (to avoid vm getting a UUID as he described it) I set a username and a password. Then I created a template and from this template I...

Hi, I updated a server from v7 to v8 (for now it's only for tests purpose ;) ). Everything seems to goes OK but when I restart the server, no web GUI :( SSH is ok so I dig and it's nearly the same problem as here : https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/127-0-1-1-problem-start-pve-cluster.100642/...
