Can't get terraform to work to install VM

[pfworks]

Right now, I'm using the API key. This means I have to use 2.9.11 version of the terraform provider, because if I use the current version, there is something about permissions and my key no longer works. However, with 2.9.11, I can't get past this error. Also, is terraform really supported? I have yet to find a blog that produces anything that works, and still can't figure out how to use my ceph storage via terraform.

I got it working following this:

Its a good primer. Though, it includes the secrets in main.tf - which I do not recommend. Here is my basic main.tf (I have other tf files for other specific VMs)

terraform {
    required_providers {
        proxmox = {
            source = "telmate/proxmox"
        }
    }
}

provider "proxmox" {
    pm_api_url          = var.api_url
    pm_api_token_id     = var.api_token_id
    pm_api_token_secret = var.api_token_secret
    pm_tls_insecure     = false
}

resource "proxmox_vm_qemu" "gitlab" {

    lifecycle {
        prevent_destroy = true
    }

    name                = "gitlab"
    target_node         = "proxmox01"
    clone               = "ubuntu-cloud"
    full_clone          = true
    cores               = 4
    memory              = 4096
    vmid                = 680

    disk {
        size            = "64G"
        type            = "scsi"
        storage         = "freenas"
        discard         = "on"
    }

    network {
        model     = "virtio"
        bridge    = "vmbr1"
        firewall  = false
        link_down = false

    }

}

In my variables.tf I have:

variable "api_token_secret" {
description = "Secret API Token"
type = string
default = "REDACTED”
}

variable "api_url" {
description = "Proxmox main URL"
type = string
default = "REDACTED”
}

variable "api_token_id" {
description = "The ID attached to the Token"
type = string
default = "REDACTED”
}

I would try it exactly like the video, then expand out to using a variables.tf like I have above.
