unattended installer

[pixel]

Wed like to automate enough of the proxmox installation to take over with ansible after. this means default storage, setting up network, adding ssh keys etc. with ubuntu, i usually make a modified iso for the target machine with preseeded answers and a post install script.

is it possible to do this with the proxmox installer? are any of the questions answerable from the kernel boot line or preseeded?

We do this with PXE. Like this:

LABEL Proxmox-52
    MENU LABEL Proxmox 5.2 PVE Environment
    TEXT HELP
         Installiert einen Virtualisierungshost mit Proxmox 5.2
    ENDTEXT
    LINUX proxmox50/linux26
    APPEND vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr ramdisk_size=2000000 linux ext4 maxroot=60 swapsize=4 splash=verbose
    INITRD proxmox50/initrd.iso.img

The ISO is not open. So we've written us own installer.

another option is to use the debian installer and install proxmox-ve after that
