ansible_role-proxmox_cloudbuntu's Issues

Mismatched disk path when setting the boot disk.

I've been trying to use this script to create a cloudinit image using the following basic template:

- name: Ubuntu Provisioner
  hosts: proxmox
  become: true
  roles:
      - role: mirceanton.proxmox_cloudbuntu
        become: yes
        vars:
          proxmox_cloudbuntu_vmid: 9000
          proxmox_cloudbuntu_name: cloudbuntu-test
          proxmox_cloudbuntu_disk_device: loca
          proxmox_cloudbuntu_ci_user: srvadmin
          proxmox_cloudbuntu_ci_pass: test123

Unfortunately I kept running into an error on the Set the boot disk step in the configure-vm task.
| "unable to parse directory volume name 'vm-9000-disk-0'"

Running sudo pvesm list local as the disk was created allowed me to see that the disk was created under local:9000/base-9000-disk-0.raw

Therefore adding the vmid and extension to the step Set the boot disk line below allowed me to continue:

ansible.builtin.command: "qm set {{ proxmox_cloudbuntu_vmid }} --scsihw {{ proxmox_cloudbuntu_disk_scsihw }} --scsi0 {{ proxmox_cloudbuntu_disk_device }}:{{ proxmox_cloudbuntu_vmid }}/vm-{{ proxmox_cloudbuntu_vmid }}-disk-0.raw"

Unfortunately I don't know why qm create has decided to change the scheme of the disk it created. Perhaps it's a versioning or configuration issue?

For reference, I didn't use the Proxmox iso installer, instead I used the lae.proxmox ansible script to install with mostly default options:

        - role: lae.proxmox
          vars:
           - pve_group: all
           - pve_reboot_on_kernel_update: true
           - pve_repository_line: "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription" 
           - pve_remove_subscription_warning: true
