The goal is on the one hand to build base images, on the other hand to have pipelines setup infrastructure like you would do on public clouds. Terraform - The inofficial telmate/proxmox provider appeared to be inreliable in many situations. Ansible - There are some community modules, but also they weren't reliable, parameters weren't honored etc. Cloud-init - works OK, but is implemented in a way that appeared very unusual to me. I'd expect to be able to pass user-data via the API directly, like it's the case with many other well-known cloud providers. Full, API-based automation is difficult with the current implementation. Packer builder - might do for building VM images, but doesn't seem to support cloud-init for instance. Any ideas/thoughts? How to do IaC without writing everything on your own? I'm quite new to Proxmox, so of course I may be wrong at some of these points! Thanks in advance. All the best Benjamin
