[Proxmox] Cloud-Init & Automation Support

[SprayerGaming]

Describe the solution you'd like

Cloud-Init & Virtual Machine cloning

Describe alternatives you've considered

An ability to support cloud-init feature of Proxmox, users could set their own username, password, DNS, hostname etc... , WemX panel could display the IP adress of the actual VM including username & password would be dope tho. Automation: ability to clone VM templates instead of installing from an ISO image.

Additional context

None.

Hey, so about two of those things have nothing to do with Wemx as Proxmox, 'cloud-init' would be something you set up on your Proxmox VE node through SSH at the moment. Secondly, if you have the know-how, you could also add the display IP. Also, DNS is available in Proxmox on every VM, as can be seen here last thing Automation: ability to clone VM templates instead of installing from an ISO image. u could do most of what u asked in a cloud init script just change USER PERMS

@SprayerGaming this is the only part i am unsure about #users could set their own username, password,# maybe u can use this example ``` #cloud-config

users:

• name: defaultuser passwd: defaultpassword sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

runcmd:

• echo "Please change your default password upon first login."
• su - defaultuser -c "read -p 'Enter new username: ' newuser && sudo useradd -m $newuser && sudo passwd $newuser"
• su - defaultuser -c "read -s -p 'Enter new password: ' newpass && echo $newpass | sudo passwd --stdin $USER"

Ah okay, these cloud configs would be good. And what about making a feature to clone an existing VM instead of installing froman ISO ? So WemX administrator users can set their Proxmox service to be able to clone a VM template by entering the VMID or just setting the package to be installed from an ISO.

so part of that is already a thing in a dev v of proxmox as its being tested so i think that is going to be a thing if u look at this screen shot is this what u would be looking at having ? @SprayerGaming

Exactly, and if the user can select their OS template, then the VMID template (that, would be cloned) should also change, so it could determine the OS of the VM whatever somehow. Or, if the ISO could be selected, then Proxmox should also set the exact ISO which was selected by the user :)

TBH i think the os selelect has not been added back yet in the dev V and also ISO most ISO LIST THE NAME OF THE OS ON THE ISO
