proxmox_lxc

Install a Proxmox based LXC container.

Requirements

Run this role on your Proxmox server(s) as host. If you specify a group of multiple servers, the LXC container will only be installed once due to run_once: true in all tasks.

Role Variables

vars/main.yaml contains

debiantemplate
ubuntultstemplate
ubuntutemplate
fedoratemplate

Change the values of these variables to the paths to the different LXC templates.

Example:

debiantemplate: '{{ cttemplatestor }}:vztmpl/debian-11-standard_11.0-1_amd64.tar.gz'
