So I've attempted configuring a new VM with a cloud-init drive, and just using the basic options in the UI for the cloud-init config (user, pass, DNS, SSH key, upgrade packages, IP info).
I'm using an Ubuntu 24.04 cloud image. I've tried changing the boot order. Nothing works. I'm officially stumped.
The question is - how did you create the bootable disk, if at all? Whether cloudinit is used or not, the image should just boot. Cloudinit provides post-boot customization.
Perhaps you can elaborate on :
the exact image you used
your VM configuration (qm config [id])
how did you convert the Cloud image to a PVE disk
your storage pool configuration (cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg)
A random guess is that you did not set the bootable disk properly in your configuration. Or you did not attach the disk to a controller. Or you did not import the image properly.
