Hello,
has anyone got windows as tempalte with cloudinit to work?
Would be nice, if someone could help me.

Best regards
 
the last time i tried cloud init with windows it was a real PITA and most things did not work at all (e.g. user/network settings), maybe i did something wrong, or the windows cloud init agent
does not work well
 
Hmm, thats sad. I'd like to provide Windows VPS to my customers (currently only linux), but the provisioning of the VMs is completely dependend on cloud-init (user-password, IP-configuration, disk resizing, etc)...
 
what you could try to do is use qemu-guest agent with the 'exec' command (there you can execute arbirtraty commands inside the vm)
i guess with a little bit of scripting you could change users/passwords/network/etc.

see man qm
or qm help guest exec
 
I want to only use cloud-init, as our selling platform uses the api of proxmox and cloud-init to setup IPs and passwords.
