Proxmox Cloud-init Template Downloader

This bash script facilitates the downloading and setup of Cloud-init OS templates for Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE). It automates the download of specified operating system images and imports them into Proxmox as VM templates, streamlining the process of creating new VMs with various operating systems.

The script supports a predefined list of cloud-init enabled OS images, which currently includes:

• Debian 10 (EOL - No Support)
• Debian 11
• Debian 12
• Ubuntu Server 20.04
• Ubuntu Server 22.04
• Alma Linux 8
• Alma Linux 9 *Not working yet.. (Maybe image problem?)
• CentOS 7 (No Support) *Not working for qemu-agent / ssh configs
• CentOS 8 Stream (No Support)
• CentOS 9 Stream (No Support)

Beta Feature: osdl.sh/osdlt.sh

We are excited to announce the beta release of the osdl.sh/osdlt.sh script, which provides extended functionality for Proxmox installations. With this script, you can:

• Install the QEMU Guest Agent on your virtual machines.
• Enable SSH access for easy management.
• Configure SSH to permit password authentication.

This beta feature is still under active development, and we would appreciate any feedback on your experience with osdlt.sh. Please submit any issues you encounter or enhancements you suggest.

How to Use the Beta Script

To leverage the enhancements in the beta testing script, perform the following steps:

1. Download the testing script:

   wget osdl.sh/osdlt.sh

2. Make sure the osdlt.sh is executable:

   chmod +x osdlt.sh

3. Execute the script with root privileges:

   ./osdlt.sh

Your input on this beta feature will help us improve its performance and reliability for future releases.
