I am using Ansible to provision and deploy PVE to my bare-metal servers in my home lab. This works great, although I noticed that the Server ID changes with each new OS installation, even when the hardware is exactly the same. Is there a way to keep the server ID the same for each machine?
Haven't been able to find any info on this through search engines or in this forum, perhaps I am not using the correct terms when searching, or there's no documentation for this particular case.
Is it possible to set the Server ID and subscription key programmatically, somehow?
I noticed that if I recreate
Not a massive deal since I only have two physical machines with 1 CPU each, so adding the license manually can be done, but dang do I hate doing things manually...
Thankful for your insight!

/etc/apt/auth.conf.d/pve.conf file with the subscription key and previous machine ID, I can at least access the enterprise repo to install, which was great. However, the PVE instance still thinks it has no license.Not a massive deal since I only have two physical machines with 1 CPU each, so adding the license manually can be done, but dang do I hate doing things manually...
