Manage hosts

Create

You first choose VM type between a container or a server.

The form automatically changes.

Server VM Proxmox config tab:

Advanced options could also be modified in Server VM Proxmox config tab.

N.B.: There's a bug in foreman/webpack/assets/javascripts/jquery.ui.custom_spinners.js file. The minimum counter spinner is set to 1 and not 0. It is used in device disk storage field so if you put 0, it could show 1 instead.

Main options:

CPU options:

Memory options:

CDROM options:

OS options:

OS tab with build from network (default):

Network interface tab:

Identifier is required. You must set net[n] with n an integer. If not, a default one is set for you.

The container form slightly differs from the server one.

Container VM Proxmox config tab:

Update

Update config is available.

Clone images

You can also change a host (server or container) into an image, i.e. a template in Proxmox. You update a host. You check the box Create image? to true and save it:

The image is then available in the list of the create image form.

You create an image from your compute ressource:

If previously you didn't created a template vm, the list of vmids is replaced by a single input:

It is not recommended to create an image without a valid vmid template in proxmox.

Then you can make linked clones of this image. To do so, you create a new host and in OS tab you choose build from image and choose the available image:

The the vm is cloned by proxmox in a new VM. The name starts with Copy of image-name.

List hosts

You can list hosts in foreman:

And you can check it in Proxmox Web interface too:
