Previous Step
Proxmox Lab: Game of Active Directory - Creating VM Templates
In this module, we’ll be taking steps to create some Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 templates using Packer for use in the Proxmox Game of Active Directory lab
0xBEN
Objectives for this Step
- Configure the Terraform variables, recipe, and plan
- Create the lab environment with Terraform
Terraform the Lab
Variables
cd /root/GOAD/ad/GOAD/providers/proxmox/terraformcp variables.tf.template variables.tfnano variables.tfvariables.tf (click to expand)
variable "pm_api_url" {
default = "https://172.16.1.14:8006/api2/json"

default = "root@pam"
}
variable "pm_password" {
default = "ENTER_YOUR_ROOT_USER_PASSWORD"
}
variable "pm_node" {
default = "proxmox-um690"
}
variable "pm_pool" {
default = "GOAD"
}
variable "pm_full_clone" {
default = false
}
# change this value with the id of your templates (win10 can be ignored if not used)
variable "vm_template_id" {
type = map(number)
# set the ids according to your templates
default = {
"WinServer2019_x64" = 0
"WinServer2016_x64" = 0
# "Windows10_22h2_x64" = 0

variable "network_vlan" {

## the following variable is only for telmate provider (not used)
## change this value with the name of your templates (win10 can be ignored if not used)
# variable "vm_template_name" {$
# type = map(string)
#
# default = {
# "WinServer2019_x64" = "WinServer2019x64-cloudinit-qcow2"
# "WinServer2016_x64" = "WinServer2016x64-cloudinit-qcow2"
# "Windows10_22h2_x64" = "Windows10x64-22h2-cloudinit-qcow2"
# }
# }
❗Changes Made to the Document
variable "pm_api_url" {
default = "https://172.16.1.14:8006/api2/json"
}Sets the correct IP address of the GOAD PVE node
variable "pm_user" {
default = "root@pam"
}
variable "pm_password" {
default = "ENTER_YOUR_ROOT_USER_PASSWORD"
}Sets the correct username and password
variable "pm_node" {
default = "proxmox-um690"
}Sets the correct PVE node name
default = {
"WinServer2019_x64" = 100
"WinServer2016_x64" = 102
# "Windows10_22h2_x64" = 0
}Sets the IDs of the templates in PVE and comments out Windows 10, since it is not used in our lab
variable "storage" {
# change this with the name of the storage you use
default = "local-lvm"
}Changes to default = "local-lvm". My node uses local-zfs, but I've used the default here that will be standard in most people's PVE nodes.
variable "network_bridge" {
default = "vmbr1"
}Changes the default switch to vmbr1 in accordance with the existing Proxmox lab environment. See the network diagram for more info.
Create and Run the Plan
cd /root/GOAD/ad/GOAD/providers/proxmox/terraformterraform init
terraform plan -out goad.plan
terraform apply "goad.plan"
ℹ️
As noted by the author, if you get any errors during the
The whole idea with Infrastructure as Code is "idempotency". So, if you run a plan once or ten times, the result should always be the same, and only apply what needs applying.
terraform apply operation, just run terraform apply "goad.plan" again.The whole idea with Infrastructure as Code is "idempotency". So, if you run a plan once or ten times, the result should always be the same, and only apply what needs applying.
