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>"}

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
