Manual, documented bare-metal Proxmox install + cloud-init template build (deliberately not automated — a fragile one-time step). Terraform/OpenTofu config creates rn-platform-01/rn-lab-host-01 from that template via the bpg/proxmox provider, with configurable (not hardcoded) VM sizing. Validated: tofu fmt, tofu init -backend=false (real provider download), tofu validate -> Success. No paid state backend required (local state).

# Proxmox — manual, one-time steps
|
|
|
|
Deliberately NOT automated (Phase 4 §21: "do not over-automate bare-metal Proxmox installation
|
|
if it becomes fragile" — a broken automated install of the one host that IS the only way in is
|
|
a much worse failure mode than a documented manual step reviewed by a human once).
|
|
|
|
## 1. Install Proxmox VE
|
|
|
|
Standard ISO install on the Hetzner dedicated server, once purchased. Follow Proxmox's own
|
|
install guide. Full checklist: `docs/PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT.md` §1-2.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Build the cloud-init VM template
|
|
|
|
One-time, either via `virt-customize`/manual, or Packer if already a comfortable tool here:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# On the Proxmox host, after downloading an Ubuntu 22.04 cloud image:
|
|
qm create 9000 --name ubuntu-22.04-cloudinit --memory 2048 --cores 2 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0
|
|
qm importdisk 9000 jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img local-zfs
|
|
qm set 9000 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-zfs:vm-9000-disk-0
|
|
qm set 9000 --ide2 local-zfs:cloudinit
|
|
qm set 9000 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0
|
|
qm set 9000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0
|
|
qm set 9000 --agent enabled=1
|
|
qm template 9000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then apply `infra/proxmox/cloud-init/user-data.yaml` as the template's default cloud-init
|
|
user-data (Proxmox's own cloud-init snippet mechanism — `Datacenter -> Storage -> snippets`).
|
|
|
|
## 3. Hand off to Terraform + Ansible
|
|
|
|
Once the template exists and tagged `template` (matching `infra/terraform/main.tf`'s data
|
|
source filter), `infra/terraform/` can clone `rn-platform-01`/`rn-lab-host-01` from it, and
|
|
`infra/ansible/site.yml` configures them. Neither of those needs further Proxmox-console work
|
|
after this point — see `docs/RUNBOOK_FIRST_DEPLOYMENT.md`.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Proxmox host firewall
|
|
|
|
Apply `infra/firewall/proxmox-host.rules` manually (rendered with real values) — see that
|
|
file's own header comment for why this one ruleset stays a manual apply, unlike the two VMs'.
