Packer to build Ubuntu 20

[lowerym]

Trying to use packer to build an ubuntu 20.04 template. I am using the following for my setup. however i always land on the the language selection screen. From reading it seems alot of people load the preseed.cfg into as a floppy for other hypervisors. has anyone been able to make this work on proxmox?


here is the snippet from my packer json file.


"http_directory": "http",
"boot_command": [
"<esc><wait><esc><wait><f6><wait><esc><wait>",
"<bs><bs><bs><bs><bs>",
"autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/ ",
"--- <enter>"
],

Same issue here. What Proxmox and Packer versions are you on?

Using Packer 1.7.2 and Proxmox 6.4

Glad to hear that! I ended up using a seperate cidata ISO, stored on an S3 bucket.
