Create VM from template and assign IP address automatically

[sujithm]

Hello

Can we create VMs based on preconfigured templates and assign IP address automatically?

To be more detailed, we are using WHMCS along with a module from ModulesGarden team named "Proxmox VPS for WHMCS". Using that module we can create VMs from WHMCS based on selected template. We want to automatically assign an IP to the new VM on the fly. Is there anyway we can implement this?

Thanks & Regards

I know this is an old thread, so hope I'm not breaking etiquette.
I'm also very keen to get this working this way, did you ever find a solution - or does anyone else know how to achieve this?

Thanks,
Chris

Why not use DHCP? You can hook yourself into the VM creation and automatically assign a hostname and IP to the generated MAC.

I know this thread is old but did you get it working ? (Static IP Binding on Launch through a prompt or pre configured IP ? )

There is cloudinit that solves exactly this problem for supported operating systems.
