cloud-init

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/...

I have a problem with my Centos8 template I created a template based on the cloud image provided by centos (official) as a provider we give as hostname the same name as the vm but in this case (centos8 temp) the hostname of the vms deployed via centos 8 template keeps the previous hostname...

Hi all Haven't posted on here before but long time lurker. Apologies if something similar to this has been posted in the forum previously. As part of my learning with Proxmox I've wanted to learn how to build a script to create vm templates so that I can clone a template into a vm quickly...

I have a VM provisioned with qcow2 image, and have set in the cloud-init a search domain. However, the cloud init is using vmName + search domain as the FQDN, which is not as expected. An earlier VM created with the same image and cloud-init settings (except with a different search domain)...

Im currently running proxmox 7.3. When provisioning Ubuntu VMs (20.04/22.04) the vms auto assign IPv6 addresses in addition to the ones defined in cloudinit. This makes it a bit difficult to manage firewall rules and such. Is there a way to adjust the cloudinit image proxmox generates to include...
