XDA ☛ I automated my Proxmox VM deployment with Cloud-Init
Native support for LXCs is one of Proxmox’s biggest selling points, but there are situations where you’ll want the superior isolation provisions offered by virtual machines. While my self-hosted services run inside containers, I use VMs quite a lot in my PVE home lab. My Windows 11 and Arch Linux dev environments run inside virtual machines, and the same holds true for all the cool Linux and OpenBSD flavors I tinker with during my distro-hopping misadventures.
That said, I often create disposable virtual machines for experiments, which get destroyed when I run into unrecoverable errors – or once I’ve finished documenting everything. Up until now, I’ve mostly relied on custom templates for my test VMs. But after encountering Cloud-Init, I’ve since switched to it when deploying expendable virtual machines. Sure, it has a couple of caveats, but it’s hands-down the most efficient option for CLI-heavy distros that require slight configuration tweaks before you can spin them up.
