Cloud-init VM with dhcp IP uses wrong hostname

[jamieInCLT]

Hi folks- I'm new to Proxmox and I've run into a snag. I've got a script (below) to create a cloud-init template of Ubuntu Server (22.04 LTS), based on TechnoTim's video & blog.

It creates the image, marks it as a template, and I even got it to resize the disk.

The problem starts after I clone the template. When it starts up and tries to get an IP address from the DHCP server the hostname isn't what's sent to and registered in the DHCP server, but rather, it's just "ubuntu", and, if I make multiple clones, they're all "ubuntu". The hostname inside the VM is correct.

I've tried rebooting the newly-cloned vm, power-cycling it, renewing the DHCP, and resetting the hostname via hostnamectl, but each time it's still ubuntu. Is this a known issue? Anything else I can try, even if they're just manual steps?

Thanks,

Here's the script, with a fake user/password, in case it helps anyone else

Oh, and "pub-key" is just a text file in the working dir with my public key in it
