[SOLVED] Clone VM & add network interface with Ansible

[sebyp]

Hello community,

I'm bashing my head against the wall with this one, so hopefully someone will be able to provide some guidance.

Problem statement: I have an exiting rocky-linux template that I would like to clone. At clone time I would also like to create a network interface on the newly cloned VM. What happens is that the VM gets cloned correctly, except the network interface. See my Ansible code below

- name: Clone VM from template
  community.general.proxmox_kvm:
    api_host: REDACTED
    validate_certs: true
    api_token_id: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'PROXMOX_TOKEN_ID') }}"
    api_token_secret: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET') }}"
    api_user: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'PROXMOX_USER') }}"
    state: present
    node: "{{ netbox_pve_host }}"
    clone: "{{ platforms | first }}"
    net:
      net0: virtio,bridge=vmbr0,tag=1098
    format: unspecified
    full: false
    kvm: true
    name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    newid: "{{ netbox_vm_id }}"
    timeout: 300
  delegate_to: localhost

Any ideas?

Thx!

L.E. (I should have read the Ansible modules a bit more careful)

Apparently there is a module named community.general.proxmox_nic that can be used to customize the VM after cloning, see example below

- name: Add network interface
  community.general.proxmox_nic:
    api_host: REDACTED
    validate_certs: true
    api_token_id: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'PROXMOX_TOKEN_ID') }}"
    api_token_secret: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET') }}"
    api_user: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'PROXMOX_USER') }}"
    name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    interface: net0
    bridge: vmbr0
    tag: 1098
    state: present
  delegate_to: localhost
