I will create automated proxmox templates using cloudinit and bash
Linux Server Specialist and DevOps Engineer
À propos de ce service
Are you tired of manually installing OS every time you create a VM? Let's automate your Proxmox workflow! I will create high-performance, ready-to-deploy Proxmox Templates using Cloud-Init so you can launch VMs in seconds with pre-configured users, SSH keys, and network settings.
What I will do for you:
- Golden Image Creation: Create optimized templates for Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Debian, or CentOS.
- Cloud-Init Integration: Fully configure Cloud-init for automated user, password, and SSH key injection.
- System Optimization: Shrink disk size, remove machine-ids, and clean up logs for a "Clean Boot" experience.
- Automated Bash Scripts: Provide custom scripts to reset or update templates.
- Network Pre-config: Setup DHCP or Static IP templates as per your needs.
Why this is better for your Business:
- Speed: Deploy new servers in less than 30 seconds.
- Consistency: Every VM will have the exact same base configuration.
- Automation: Perfect for scaling environments or home labs.

FAQ
What information do you need to get started?
I will need SSH access to your Proxmox node or your Proxmox web GUI credentials. Additionally, let me know which Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux) you want as templates and any specific configurations like default users or SSH keys.
Can I use these templates for both VMs and LXC containers?
Cloud-Init is primarily used for Virtual Machines (VMs) to automate OS-level configurations. However, I can also help you set up optimized LXC templates for lightweight applications if required.
Will the templates have a pre-configured user and SSH key?
Yes! The main goal of using Cloud-Init is to ensure that every time you deploy a VM, it automatically creates your preferred user, injects your SSH public key, and sets up the network—eliminating manual configuration.
Are these "Golden Images" clean and secure?
Absolutely. I follow industry best practices to ensure the images are "clean." This includes removing machine IDs, clearing log files, and purging temporary cache before converting the VM into a template to avoid any conflicts in your network.
Can you help if I encounter issues after the delivery?
Yes, I provide post-delivery support. If you face any issues with the templates or the Cloud-Init configuration, I will troubleshoot and fix them to ensure your automation workflow runs smoothly.
