If we have a template that specs almost all of the hardware, but we just supply a cpu count via the terraform process, do the values in the template remain and only the value we supply is over written?
Why so many VM and so little containers? just curious since i though there is legitimate application for both but i see you prefer VM? I'm curious about your use case / restrictions.
Sadly, I followed your previous direction / course. I was able to install proxmox without incident, but I was never able to create a virtual machine. I tried off and on for 3 months retrying everything... No success. I gave up. Virtual machines hate me.
Try following another tutorial and if it doesn't work then it might be your machine. One thing you can do is note the error it gives you when you try to create the machine and come back here. Another thing you can do is verify that your machine has access to virtualization technology (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) If you are installing from your desktop computer and have dual booted, you can verify that you have the virtualization enabled by pressing "Ctrl + Shift + Escape" together (brings up your Task Manager on Windows/Mac/Linux) Otherwise, verify the UEFI to make sure that the virtualization is enabled by referring to your motherboard manual or online.
@Jay Hey, did you listen to the vid at the beginning before posting?? It sounds lower and is more focused on the left side speaker for the part where you are introducing the vid BUT it is normal sounding for the content but is like the beginning 2 mins at the very end of the vid where you were on screen again. I'm thinking you are doing something new?? Just wanted to let you know just in case. Asdie from that your content is as excellent as it always is from you and your hard/dedicated work to your platform here for all of us to watch and learn from :)
There is. You can create a `vars.tf` file and put a variable in it (something like, `api_token`) then you run `terraform plan -var api_token=your_secret_value` and `terraform apply -var api_token=your_secret_value`. Even better is to pull them from a file, something like `api_token=$(cat file)`, in order to keep it out of your shell history.
wow i love this one. keep it up with proxmox and terraform. if you take suggestions go over ansible also. thank you
Absolutely, +1 on Ansible
At 21:18 for storage options, why scsi instead of virtio scsi?
Must have misread.. provision infrastructure with OpenTofu 😂

This is awesome!
Brilliant content

Ouch! That must feel bad.

How can anyone assist if you don't provide an error?
More terraform with cloud providers and maybe GitHub actions, please.

Bummer. YT killed my comment AGAIN. Can't even share some good info because of it.
Secrets hardcoded in the .tf file... oh no... there must be a better way. ;)
