Inject setup file into standard ISO installer

[CanadaGuy]

Is it possible to inject a config file into the PVE ISO installer, so it could boot and configure itself automatically, sort of like a cloud-init install? It would be nice to setup network, user account, storage, etc. At the end after booting from the ISO, you would then just reboot and login.

Have I missed this feature somewhere?

no, this isn't supported at the moment.

Thanks. I'm trying to figure out how I could run Proxmox on a remote dedicated server. Are there any automated install techniques available that might help?

the closest thing you can get to what you asked for, is to install regular debian with preseeded installer and then put PVE on top[0]

other than that, it doesn't get any more automated than next-next-next

Thanks, I do like and appreciate the simplicity of the installer. I have considered the link you sent, and will try doing that locally first.
