How to enable the qemu-guest-agent?

[inlann]

Hello,

Glad to find this awesome provider! 🚀

I created a Proxmox 8.1.3 environment. And then, I'm trying to create some virtual machine Terraform and the provider.

I created an virtual machine template using ubuntu-22.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img:

wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/22.04/release-20240126/ubuntu-22.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

# Create an virtual machine with the cloudimg
qm create 9000 --name "ubuntu-2204-cloudinit-template" --memory 1024 --cores 1 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0
qm importdisk 9000 ubuntu-22.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img local-lvm
qm set 9000 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-9000-disk-0
qm set 9000 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0
qm set 9000 --ide2 local-lvm:cloudinit
qm set 9000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0
qm set 9000 --agent enabled=1

# Convert it to template
qm template 9000

And then, I created the role and user for terraform in the proxmox:

pveum role add TerraformProv -privs "Datastore.AllocateSpace Datastore.Audit Pool.Allocate Sys.Audit Sys.Console Sys.Modify VM.Allocate VM.Audit VM.Clone VM.Config.CDROM VM.Config.Cloudinit VM.Config.CPU VM.Config.Disk VM.Config.HWType VM.Config.Memory VM.Config.Network VM.Config.Options VM.Migrate VM.Monitor VM.PowerMgmt SDN.Use"
pveum user add terraform-prov@pve --password Test123456
pveum aclmod / -user terraform-prov@pve -role TerraformProv

At last, I created the terraform configuration file:

provider "proxmox" {
  pm_api_url = "https://192.168.2.150:8006/api2/json"

  pm_user     = "terraform-prov@pve"
  pm_password = "Test123456"

  pm_debug = true
  pm_log_levels = {
    _default    = "debug"
    _capturelog = ""
  }
}

resource "proxmox_vm_qemu" "ubuntu-test" {
  count = 1
  vmid = 100
  name = "ubuntu-test"
  desc = "Ubuntu test vm"

  # Valid nodes: proxmox-1, proxmox-2
  target_node = "proxmox-1"
  clone = "ubuntu-2204-cloudinit-template"

  agent = 1
  os_type = "ubuntu"
  bios    = "ovmf"
  cores   = 32
  sockets = 1
  cpu     = "EPYC-v3"
  memory  = 8192

  scsihw = "virtio-scsi-pci"
  bootdisk = "scsi0"

  # Disk settings
  disks {
    scsi {
      scsi0 {
        disk {
          size = 500
          storage = "local-lvm"
        }
      }
    }
  }

  # Network settings
  network {
    model = "virtio"
    bridge = "vmbr0"
  }
  ipconfig0 = "gw=192.168.2.1,ip=192.168.2.152/24"
  nameserver = "192.168.2.240 223.5.5.5 223.6.6.6"

  cloudinit_cdrom_storage = "local-lvm"

  # User settings
  ciuser = "test"
  # cipassword = "test123456"
  sshkeys = file("/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")
}

But when I executed export TF_LOG=debug && terraform apply, it got stuck:

proxmox_vm_qemu.k8s-master[0]: Still creating... [20m30s elapsed]

I tried to change the agent in the terraform configuration file to 0 and terraform apply worked but network and ciuser are not set successfully since I cannot ping the target ip (i.e. 192.168.2.152).

Since the ubuntu cloud image does not contain any default user and password, how can I enable the qemu-guest-agent service of the virtual machine?

Any help? Really appreciate!

I tried to clone it with qm set command and it works:
