Such a good feeling when you make an automation and you use it over and over again. I don’t know why did I manually create #Proxmox templates instead of using #Packer

I've started a blog (again). Today's fun, #Debian and #Packer with #Ansible performance weirdness:
https://gregharvey.gitlab.io/blog/posts/2026-06/debian-12-scp/

For some reason the Ansible provisioner no longer likes `use_proxy` (which, helpfully, is enabled by default).

Anyone else seen similar Packer + Ansible issues?

GrumblePost Warning: Every time I touch Hashicorp's Packer tool, I lose DAYS of my life to any number of issues. On the surface it sounds like a great thing to use (immutable OS images are A Good Thing). And it is. But it touches so many complex moving parts (infra platforms (permissions, storage options, networking, resource isolation..), OS (cloud init, networking, disks, systemd config), config management tools) that it will eat your time like it's nothing.. #Packer #HashiCorp #OSImages

Hihi, schreibe einen Inception-Artikel...
"#Proxmox, #Vagrant, #OpenTofu
Admins können die neue, dreifach verschachtelte Cloud fortan per Proxmox-Web-Frontend steuern oder per Open-Tofu-Konfigurationsdateien dauerhafte Änderungen vornehmen. Damit das funktioniert, nutzt das Beispielsetup das #Hashicorp-Tool #Packer, um ein #Linux mit Proxmox vorzubereiten, das dann von Vagrant via Konfigurationsdatei provisioniert und mit OpenTofus *.tf-Dateien konfiguriert wird. #adfinis @nikslor #opensource

Hab mir grad mal spaßeshalber das Programm "D-Info 3.0" unter Windows 3.1 installiert. Ja, genau so, wie das hier grafisch dargestellt wird, hab ich mir das Datei-Packen immer vorgestellt! LOL! 😉

Is anyone using Packer and VMware and Rocky Linux? I'm having an issue with Rocky 10 and the packer boot. Using the example boot command here https://docs.rockylinux.org/10/guides/automation/templates-automation-packer-vsphere/ I end up with a boot box that looks like "xt ip=[blah]" because I think grub changed and <tab> isn't the right key stroke to edit the boot, the 'e' from 'text' is. Thats why I get just 'xt' and what follows. I think I need to then send a control-x to boot. Maybe? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? My rocky 9 packer build still works great :-) #rockylinux #packer #vmwareESXi #grub2
