Please take note guys and gals. I say in the video that Terraform uses YAML when I meant to say HashiCorp Configuration Language. Thanks to cheebadigga4092 for pointing that out. He also suggested to add the SSD option to scsihw when running the VM on SSDs.
Thanks for your awesome video, I have a problem that after VM creation no bootable disk attached to them, I check the Proxmox and there is an unused disk attached to each VM!!!
Nice video. Terraform is HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) - not YAML, by the way. Also, be sure to add the SSD option to scsihw when you're running the VM on SSDs.
hey Morris - at 11min42 into your video looks like a typo in tfvars - should be "ssh_key" not ssh_keys" right? Small thing but important for anyone following along. Great share though, first time I'm trying Proxmox so this is really cool.
Great content as always;) Unfortunately the terraform provider for proxmox sometimes behaves a bit unstable im some cases and even want's to update resources that haven't changed. I'm running Proxmox in my homelab and my daily job as well and created a nice terraform module that fits my needs and a Ansible role to create and regularly download and update new template images. You may find them useful as well.
Hi olegfranko8675, yeah that is true, hopefully the community keeps working to make it better. Yes I would definitely like to check out your terraform module.
Theres a better maintained more featureful terraform provider for Proxmox these days. Its called bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox. It has more of the proxmox API implemented and continues to get new releases with lots of contributors and a cleaner code base. I have moved from the one shown in the video to this newer one despite being a contributor to the telmate one shown in the video
@@daniellowry Thanks, I tried the bgp provider as well, since the old one isn't working anymore with newer Proxmox versions. However in my opinion it performs poorly, because it kinda ignores the Terraform state and is doing bad things when you do terraform apply on already existing VM's and you can't manage your resources completely with Terraform, which is like the main reason to work with Terraform at all. Sure, the project will evolve with time, but for now there is no reason for me to choose this provider. Ansible is doing the same one shot tasks like bgp and the telmate maintainers are working on a newer version of it's Proxmox provider as well;)

Great video! To the point, with no waffling.

Nice catch, thanks for pointing that out.
One thing - in your GH repo, you're wget'ting the arm64 image, then rest of work is on the amd64 image.
Oh thanks for pointing that out. Just pushed a fixing commit.
Would be great to see an automation of cloud init via packer
Great video!
Excellent Video. Just gain another subscriber.
Awesome, thank you!

How can I share the repos with you? ;)

I'm a simple man. I only dream of automating everything 😂😂😂
Good content, but hard to follow the transition sound is a bit distracting
Thanks for the tip.
