Hi Reckon911, did you ever find a solution for this issue? :-)

[Reckoner911]

@WadDyORedDy , no, I'm newbie in tf, and I don't find any solution for this
Is it my bad? Can you help me?

[Reckoner911]

I don't understand why the plugin doesn't respond and I don't understand how it works under the hood. Usually I just get an error at the terraform plan stage, but here with terraform apply. The VM deployed

[WadDyORedDy]

@Reckoner911 - I just checked issue 1074 and there is a solution.

Update your provider to use the latest version. You might need to fiddle a little with the proxmox_vm_qemu resource.

I'm still trying some stuff, and I'm stuck in a pxeboot-loop on the VM, but it's created and works with the newest version. Remember to use "terraform init -upgrade" when using a new version :-) I'll keep you updated if I get it to work - right now it seems like my network-block needs some looking into.

@WadDyORedDy
Thanks so much, I'll gonna try do this in while workday

[WadDyORedDy]

@Reckoner911 - I got it to work.

First of all, I'm using version 3.0.1-rc3.

My main.tf looks like this:

resource "proxmox_vm_qemu" "debian-template" {
    name = "terraform-vm-1"
    desc = "Terraform created VM from debian-template"
    vmid = "UNIQUE ID"
    target_node = "node03"

    agent = 0
    bootdisk = "scsi0"
    clone = "debian-template"
    cores = 1
    sockets = 1
    cpu = "host"
    memory = "2048"

    disks {
      scsi {
        scsi0 {
          disk {
            size = "32G"
            storage = "local-lvm"
          }
        }
      }
    }
}

I'm also using a provider.tf and credentials.auto.tfvars.

I've used issue #977 and #1074 as references. Also a fair bit of searching for specific issues - but now it works :-)

It seems like the disks {} block and bootdisk had some syntax-errors on my last couple of tries, and it would result in a PXE-boot loop (no PXE-boot on my side). But this works as intended and boots correctly from the scsi0-disk.
