Automate deploying Windows Server 2019 with Terraform and Cloudbase-init

[UnreleasedCode]

Good evening Proxmox community,

I use the Terraform-proxmox-provider for automated deploying of Windows Server 2019 instances.
https://github.com/Telmate/terraform-provider-proxmox

I prepared a Windows Server 2019. Installed Cloudbase-init and configured the cloudbase-init.conf and cloudbase-init-unattend.conf as described here:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/finally-cloudbase-init-windows-servers.48823/#post-235085

My question is, how can I use the Metadata-service and Userdata-service to set a User/password and the hostname?

Thanks in advance, UnreleasedCode

Hi,

I faced a similar issue few days/weeks ago and I came across this post https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/finally-cloudbase-init-windows-servers.48823/

proxmox does not put the password in the metadata when generating the cloudrive image, but in userdata, so cloudbase is not able to fetch it.
I solved the issue by patching the CloudInit.pm file in order to put he password in the meta_data.json file only when working with a windows vm. According to my tests, the password shall be put under "meta" : {"admin_pass" : "<password value>"}

I am using proxmox 6.1-3 and so the patch is not working.

According to this thread it looks like there is not much movement into this direction...

Any solution to this? Maybe cloudinit with pve without terraform? I see others posts using it in starts 2019 but now with the pve v6.X its different..

Can you share your Terraform code and cloudbase-init files? I haven't been able to get that far. I've tried Win7 and 2008R2. Running Prox 6.2
