proxmox-cloud-init

This role configures and sets up three ubuntu templates on the proxmox server. The templates are used to create new VMs with cloud-init support.

Example Playbook

Since we are using git ignore to remove any potential sshkeys from the repo, you will need to create your own version of the vars/main.yml file. You can do this by copying the vars/main.yml.example file to vars/main.yml and then editing the file to your needs.

Once you have the vars file saved you will be able to run the playbook. The playbook will prompt you for the remote password for the proxmox host. This is the password for the root user on the proxmox host.

- name: proxmox_cloudinit.yml
  hosts: proxmox-01.home.local
  gather_facts: true
  vars_prompt: 
  - name: "ansible_password"
    prompt: "Enter the remote password"
    private: yes
  vars: 
    ansible_user: root
  tasks:
  - import_role: 
      name: proxmox/cloud-init
