Clone VM with Ansible and change ip-adress

[Molix]

Hello,

I have this playbook:

--- - name: Clone template hosts: pve2 gather_facts: no vars_prompt: - name: vm_name prompt: "please input the Vms name" private: false tasks: - name: Clone template community.general.proxmox_kvm: node: pve2 api_user: root@pam api_password: xxxxxxx api_host: 192.168.0.195 clone: TestKlon name: "{{ vm_name }}" full: false format: unspecified timeout: 500 - name: Warte auf die VM-Erstellung pause: seconds: 10 # waiting until vm ist created - name: Update community.general.proxmox_kvm: node: pve2 api_user: root@pam api_password: xxxxxxxxx api_host: 192.168.0.195 name: "{{ vm_name }}" ipconfig: ipconfig0: 'ip=192.168.0.101/24,gw=192.168.0.1' update: yes - name: Start VM community.general.proxmox_kvm: api_user: root@pam api_password: xxxxxxxxxx api_host: 192.168.0.195 node: pve2 name: "{{ vm_name }}" state: started

it works fine, only the IP is not changed.the template is an Ubuntu server and I entered the IP via netplan.Is that even possible or am I on the wrong track?
There are no error messages or anything similar
Greetings and thank you

If your VM (or template) is deployed with cloud-init, then it should work like this. If it's not a cloud init VM (or template), then it shouldn't work that way either.

 

[Molix]

it is no cloud-init,

OK thank you

I have the same issue, i'm using an Alma9 cloud-init image and I can't seem to the get the IP to change.

there are two things I want to add to this "play"
1) I want to change the disk size
2) I want to change the hostname

I know that I can change this with another playbook. but it shouldn't be an issue to set these here...

I have more info:
I was on ubuntu laptop and moved to my Almalinux9 laptop, with the generic ansible install instructions completed, I get a different amount of information in the error.
"Bad Request: Parameter verification failed. - {'ipconfig0': 'invalid format - format error\\nipconfig0. gw: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties\\n'}" "
I change this:
ipconfig:
ipconfig0: ip={{ip_address}}/{{subnet_mask}},gw={{gateway}}

to:
ipconfig:
ipconfig0: ip={{ip_address}}/{{subnet_mask}}
and it sets the IP!

 

[Casulo]

Should be:

        ipconfig:
          ipconfig0: 'ip=192.1658.0.151/24,gw=192.168.0.1'

When you clone a VM, you have to reset its MAC address and the host ID, otherwise your DHCP server will hand out the same IP.

If you have a static IP, then you will need some other way of getting in your device before enabling networking.

Both can be done in Ansible either before you make your template, or before you start the clone, you’d have to mount the disk and change the files. If you have fixed IP and no way of changing the files, I’d make a dummy network to attach to with the same subnet and have some kind of proxy for your Ansible script that can access that subnet.
