Hi, got Proxmox installed. Now want to install some VMs but would like to use a simple setup rather than painfully going trough an install. I’ve read I could accomplish this via ansible. Are there ready playbooks you can hack? Presumably I would need to have Proxmox understand playbooks?

    Besides ansible, also have a look at “templates” and “cloud-init” for VM generation.

      I personally would avoid Cloud init as it is largely a Ubuntu thing.

      Instead look into Flatcar or bootable containers

        It works on debian too, which of course is ubuntu’s base distro. Just adding info.

          You also could just use Ansible

          Cloud init adds overhead to a clean Debian install. I’ve never really liked it personally.
