Having issues with cloud init ubnt 2004

[ahmza]

Hi Team,

been working with PVE for a few days now, I am looking into setting up a template for ubuntu 2004 that uses cloud init. However I'm having issues !!

So to start with its not an issue with PVE per say because when I used a cloud image from the ubuntu site everything worked fine, hostnames were changed as well as network settings etc ...

However I need a few base applications installed as well as zsh config etc on the template so I tried to create an image from scratch.

Steps were as follows:

• create vm
  • added serial
  • added cloud-init drive
  • q35 (if that makes a difference)
  • default bios
• installed ubuntu 2004 (server) as you normally would
• made a few changed to cloud.cfg following this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qwnXd1yRK4
• shutdown the machine
• converted to template
• cloned the template (full clone)

I'm not sure if I missed a step but when I cloned the template with a different vm name the hostname did not change and it did not set the IP Address.
before starting the VM I went into the cloud init tab and regenerated the image.
I tried without regenerating the image too but that did not work either.

I have attacehd the cloud.cfg

Thanks,
Hamza
