These utils are meant to be run directly from a proxmox host.

  • libguestfs-tools
  • wget

Tips

  • ensure qemu-guest-agent is baked into the image (avoid installing with cloud-init)
  • disable full updates of all packages on boot if possible
  • support disk resizing every boot
  • disable crazy nic names
  • do not bake docker into the image
  • take care to properly deal with resolv.conf
  • support basic network storage systems with sane default (iscsi, multipath, nfs)
