Unused Disk 0 after creating proxmox vm:s unable to boot
I'm having a problem with deploying the docker swarm using the ansible playbooks in the premix, the playbooks creates the template and the vm:s correctly but when the vm-s startup they have no boot drive to boot from... anyone have any ideas? i had to change the required provider for terraform, since the later versions of proxmox are not compatible with the provider defined in the premix, maybe this is a issue...

mmm, maybe... what do your VMs look like (in the hardware tab)..?
Mmm, yeah something went wrong there, it didn’t attach the disk…
I tried it with this provider instead: https://github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox

Had to lower the disksizes, to put it on an ssd-drive instead of my NAS, will buy bigger ssd-drives today, and try again...
If i alter any settings in the premix, and run the playbook again will it edit the existing virtual machines? or create new ones?
that depends on the provider, and whether terraform "thinks" it can modify a VM or whether it has to recreate it. So IIRC, it depends on what settings you change..
terraform plan in the terraform directory (~/.terraform/funky-penguins-are-funky) should tell you whether a recreate or a change will be applied...Seems to be a lot of problems with the latest version of proxmox, many different forks of the terraform provider, none of them fully working with my setup, but they make different changes in the hardware setups... Might have to reverse the proxmox setup to version 7 or something to get this to work... 🙂
Also I was mistaken the bpg version is not the one I tried I tried these instead: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/thegameprofi/proxmox/latest, https://registry.terraform.io/providers/MaartendeKruijf/proxmox/latest and the https://registry.terraform.io/providers/loeken/proxmox/latest
hi there,
i'm currently running into the same issues, did you manage to find out what's causing this?
It's a matter of compability, the terraform providers either are not compatible with the latest version of proxmox, or the terraform code in the premix, is not compatible with other terraform providers that are compatible with the latest proxmox. I downgraded my proxmox to the latest version 7 and then it worked. But i actually ended up going with TechnoTims k3s solution with ansible instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbkEWcUZ7zM
