proxmox-automation

Automations for Proxmox using Terraform and Ansible. Can be used to setup and provision containers and virtual machines. Read my post for more information.

Usage

1. Clone the repo and cd proxmox-automation/tf/ct (for a container)
2. Install ansible and terraform (on a Mac brew install ansible terraform)
3. Configure the variables in var.tf and add your public keys to ansible/files/authorized_keys. To provision multiple resources, add more hostnames and IP addresses to the defined list in var.tf.
4. export PM_PASS='your-PVE-password'
5. terraform init (this should pull in the Terraform Proxmox provider and configure the Terraform project)
6. terraform plan -out plan
7. terraform apply

Creating a cloud-init VM template

On the pve host:

1. apt install cloud-init
2. Create a template VM (in this case Ubuntu 20.04):

wget http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
export VM_ID="9000"
qm create 9000 --memory 2048 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --sockets 1 --cores 2 --vcpu 2  -hotplug network,disk,cpu,memory --agent 1 --name cloud-init-focal --ostype l26
qm importdisk $VM_ID focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img local-lvm
qm set $VM_ID --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --virtio0 local-lvm:vm-$VM_ID-disk-0
qm set $VM_ID --ide2 local-lvm:cloudinit
qm set $VM_ID --boot c --bootdisk virtio0
qm set $VM_ID --serial0 socket
qm template $VM_ID
rm focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
