template

Greetings, I've been fighting with cloud-init with templates on Proxmox for the last few hours, and I want to capture what I've learned, and maybe be told where I'm doing it wrong, or taking the hard way. First off, a few specific things that I've learned. Proxmox has it's own cloud-init...

Just wanted to share my (successful) procedure for creating in PVE9 a VM Template for a Debian Trixie Server with Cloud-Init, which I have done in the past for previous Debian versions in PVE8. This is most useful to quickly spin up a Debian server for any purpose. The following procedure was...

Just wondering when the Debian 13 Trixie container template will be available?

Trying to get cloudbase init working. I am able to assign an IP address to a new cloned VM and set the hostname. But when the new VM first starts up, it asks me to change the password. I want the Administrator account to have the same password as the VM template. A prompt waiting for the...

Hi, I'm pretty new to the Proxmox world (and Linux), but excited to be here. I have ~6 VMs running and on every one of them I installed and configured unattended-upgrades. I followed LearnLinuxTV YouTube's channel on how to create a VM template using Cloud-Init. What I did not realize before I...

Hi, ive been having this issue since yesterday that i can't seem to fix. Ive been asked to create a proxmox server VM inside my actual proxmox server, but nothing's been working so far. I followed the same steps i did for my actual server, from setting up the network to disabling the enterprise...

Hallo Zusammen, ich beschäftige mich aktuell intensiver mit Proxmox. Möchte meine Umgebung von Hyper-V auf Proxmox umstellen. Außerdem werden dann ein paar neue virtuelle Systeme dazu kommen. Jetzt gibt es ein Proxmox ja mehr Möglichkeiten Dienste laufen zu lassen. Damit meine ich LXC...

I'm setting up my home lab, and am installing software that is only supported on certain versions of Ubuntu - specifically 16.04 and 18.04. I cannot find any container templates for these versions (I'd prefer to use 18.04). I have this set up on a VirtualBox VM using the full desktop edition...

I have an Ubuntu 22.04 cloudinit template thats being used by multiple VMs as linked clones. i have upgraded all the linked clones to 24.04 how do i update the template from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04??

I create a lot of VMs that are mostly the same configuration. Templates to the rescue! I know this will be really elemental for some people, but in Proxmox you can create a VM, will all of the tweaks and settings you routinely use. For instance: UEFI boot instead of BIOS Memory amount # of CPU...

Guten Abend zusammen, aktuell habe ich Ubuntu auf meinem Proxmox Server am laufen. Soweit läuft alles gut. Nun würde ich gerne ein bisschen was testen und immer eine frische Ubuntu VM haben wollen. Man kann ja VMs als Template anlegen. Nun weiß ich nicht ob man dort etwas ähnliches ausführen...

I am trying to install the Turnkey templates, however whenever I start the installation, it always fails with a completely useless error: Logical volume "vm-20200-disk-0" created. Creating filesystem with 16777216 4k blocks and 4194304 inodes Filesystem UUID: 5e7227c2-c26b-4848-8094-2a6b6fd7f6fd...

Can the Mastodon social network be added to the templates

I've set up an Ansible script to build a very basic Debian 12 container. Unfortunately, apt dist-upgrade hangs for 10 minutes the first time it's run, so I want to create a template from the point where that command finally finishes (I need to apt dist-upgrade because the base image...

I've recently moved to Proxmox VE for my homelab, following our company and I have a number of LXC containers running. I also write the documentation for the setup of those. I'm now wondering where the official (as provided via "Templates" in the CT Templates on Proxmox) are hosted and how I...

I have been following some posts, but those were meant for ZFS. I already changed the configuration file of the VM and set the variable template: 0 Renamed the LVM from base-101-disk-0 to vm-101-disk-0 Now I'm trying to change the attributes from Vri-a-tz-k to Vwi-aotz-- assuming those are the...

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...

Hello all, I am fairly new to Proxmox so forgive me if I am on a completely wrong path. I have three nodes into a cluster and a shared NFS storage (truenas). I have made a template VM on host1 and have successfully moved the disk on the NFS share. But, when I want to clone the template with...

Hello there, I have some raw template images (e.g. debian11.img) I want to import to my Proxmox VE instance to use them as templates to create KVMs. I use a ZFS volume, local-zfs. When I searched the web, I found this thread from 2015...

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...
