Proxmox extension for foreman_bootdisk

[Manisha15]

New feature I am trying to add a proxmox extension in foreman_bootdisk, where bootdisk based deployment of host is possible for proxmox compute resource.

Possible Solution The idea is to add cdrom iso image to boot in, which is first uploaded to server and then can be attached for boot in.

Problem I am trying to upload iso with cdrom which should create new volume using save_volume functionality of foreman_fog_proxmox, that can be used to attach it to boot in. But I am unable to create new volume as it throws error unable to parse directory volume name '0'. Can you point me in some direction, how can I add new volume for iso which attached as cdrom.

In proxmox, disk id should start with: sata, ide, virtio or scsi and end whith an integer from 0 to 99. For example: ide0. See API docs POST or PUT method.

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried to upload iso as POST /api2/json/nodes/{node}/storage/{storage}/upload but it gives EndOfFile error.

I saw you had also implemented something similar https://github.com/fog/fog-proxmox/commit/3288b16a09cd489694c0143ddc8c7aa455de29ae but didn't merge. May I know the reason or did you create an alternative method for this.

So if I understand you would like a new feature: uploading an image in the cluster? I didn't merge it because it would complicate and weaken the code. It needs an upload form with big files which seems a bit risky. But maybe another simplier solution would be acceptable.
