[TUTORIAL] 500 Internal Server Error: mount points configured, but 'rootfs' not set - aborting

[Crasher_]

Dear All,

I'm new in proxmox 7.4-3. I deploy automation in ansible. Everything is fine, ct is creating, but when i add "mounts:" :

mounts: '{"mp0":"local:8,mp=/mnt/test/"}'

i see the following error:

fatal: [192.168.122.63]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Creation of lxc VM 205 failed with exception: 500 Internal Server Error: mount points configured, but 'rootfs' not set - aborting"}

I see on our forum that on proxmox terminal is common uses:

--rootfs local-lvm:8 (f.e. pct create 100 local:vztmpl/debian-10.0-standard_10.0-1_amd64.tar.gz --rootfs local-lvm:8)

How can I implement it in my ansible auto script?

My playbook's look like:

YAML:

- name: Test connectivity to target servers
hosts: all
run_once: true
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Create CT
community.general.proxmox:
api_host: devops

Late answer but...

You need to define a "rootfs" entry before assigning mount points.

In your case, mounts should be something like:

'{"rootfs": "local:8", "mp0":"local:8,mp=/mnt/test/"}'

Using Ansible you need to make sure the "mounts" values are a dict containing both rootfs and the mount points you want to use.
The easiest way would be to declare them in inventory, as a persistence value or something like this, and to retrieve this persistence variable, as a dict, in your playbook or role.

Good luck !
