If you ever plan on creating virtual machines in a hypervisor it makes sense to create a template and then clone that as it saves you a lot of time But creating a template by installing an operating system from an ISO image for instance can be time consuming itself And that's where Cloud-Init comes to the resuce because it saves you time when creating templates Now most Linux distros support this and although it's aimed at Cloud providers, you can also use this with Proxmox VE So in this video we show you how to create Debian templates and deploy VMs from them using Cloud-init NOTE: Make sure to delete the CloudInit drive from each VM you clone, once you've tested it works Useful links: https://cloud-init.io/ https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/ https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cloud-Init_Support https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Serial_Terminal ============================= SUPPORT THE CHANNEL Donate through Paypal: https://paypal.me/DavidMcKone Donate through Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/dmckone Become a monthly contributor on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dmckone Become a monthly contributor on YouTube: null ============================== ============================= MY RECORDING HARDWARE: Blue Yeti USB Microphone https://amzn.to/3IfL3qm Blue Radius III Custom Shockmount for Yeti and Yeti Pro USB Microphones https://amzn.to/3G3f89P RØDE PSA1 Professional Studio Arm https://amzn.to/3Z3lPBF Aokeo Professional Microphone Pop Filter https://amzn.to/3VuZl9H Sony Alpha ZV-E10L Mirrorless Camera https://amzn.to/3ITHCoU Elgato Cam Link 4K Capture Card https://amzn.to/43CzQaT Neewer NP-FW50 Dummy Battery Charger Kit https://amzn.to/3qp9Q4s Elgato Key Light Air - Professional 1400 lumens Desk Light https://amzn.to/3G81OB9 Neewer 2 Packs Tabletop LED Video Light Kit https://amzn.to/3CcuN5O Elgato Green Screen https://amzn.to/3CoJBOL ============================= ============================== MEDIA LINKS: Website - https://www.techtutorials.tv/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/dsmckone1 ============================== For more technical information, including commands used, check out our blog post https://www.techtutorials.tv/sections/promox/proxmox-create-templates-quicker/ Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:39 Create Generic Linux Template 08:30 Create Debian Template 26:17 Create Debian VM 36:08 Summary proxmox cloud init,proxmox cloud init template,proxmox cloud init debian,proxmox cloud init ssh key,proxmox cloud init drive,proxmox cloud-init,proxmox cloud-init tutorial,proxmox debian cloud image
