Ansible Proxmox Setup

Dumb ansible playbook to prep Proxmox Host, using cv4pve-autosnap.

Register Proxmox from the GUI

Make sure that Proxmox, is registered so we can get access to the Enterprise repository

Install Ansible on your PC

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt install ansible git python3-paramiko

Fedora

sudo dnf install ansible git python3-paramiko

Run ansible-playbook :

ansible-playbook -i "192.168.110.83," -c paramiko -k -u root setup.yml --extra-vars "myuser=utente"

Where:

• 192.168.110.83 it's the ip address of Proxmox Host, do not remove the ending ,
• utente it's the name of the new user created with the admin privileges, the password for the account will be random generated.

Example:

TASK [Done!] *************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [192.168.110.83] => {
    "msg": [
        "An additional user has been create with Administrator privileges.",
        "Username : utente",
        "Password : yojVRNpyWFkHhAy",
        "A new cron file has been generated to automate the daily vm snapshot",
        "located at : /etc/cron.d/10-autosnap-px",
        ""
    ]
}
