@gyptazy been looking at this proxmox and ansible tutorial like a kid looking candy,
I was thinking about automating the installation and administration of both the hypervisor and the virtual machines, using technologies like OpenTofu and Cloud-Init, however the only thing that's keeping me back is that I can't find any library that adds DHCP registrations using either OpenTofu or Ansible in my OPNSense box, which serves DHCP and DNS with dnsmasq.
Maybe I migrate my DHCP and DNS to another service but that's risky, my current instance is both serving my home network and my lab so maybe it's a good opportunity to separate things IDK.
Do you have any tips on this?
Hardware is also installed fully automated (on my blog you’ll find bare-metal auto installer and cloud images [nested virtualization]).
Here, a new system gets added in the cmdb including the HW address which is consumed by the DHCP server. A system gets the assigned the related IP. This way, it’s a straight forward process
