+
+Using Cloud Images and Cloud Init with Proxmox is easy, fast, efficient, and fun!  Cloud Images are small images that are certified cloud ready that have Cloud Init preinstalled and ready to accept a Cloud Config.  Cloud Images and Cloud Init also work with Proxmox and if you combine the two you have a perfect, small, efficient, optimized clone template to provision machines with your ssh keys and network settings.  So join me as we discuss, set up, and configure Proxmox with Cloud Images and Cloud Init.

+
+## Intructions
+
+Choose your [Ubuntu Cloud Image](https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/)
+
+Download Ubuntu (replace with the url of the one you chose from above)
+
+```bash
+wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/focal-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk-kvm.img
+```
+
+Create a new virtual machine
+
+```bash
+qm create 8000 –-name ubuntu-cloud --memory 2048 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0
+```
+
+Import the downloaded Ubuntut disk to local-lvm storage
+
+```bash
+qm importdisk 8000 focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img local-lvm
+```
+
+Attach the new disk to the vm as a scsi drive on the scsi controller
+
+```bash
+qm set 8000 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-8000-disk-0
+```
+
+Add cloud init drive
+
+```bash
+qm set 8000 --ide2 local-lvm:cloudinit
+```
+
+Make the clud init drive bootable and restrict BIOS to boot from disk only
+
+```bash
+qm set 8000 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0
+```
+
+Add serial console
+
+```bash
+qm set 8000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0
+```
+
+DO NOT START YOUR VM
+
+Configure hardware and cloud init, then clone if you want
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+
+If you need to reset your machine-id
+
+```bash
+sudo rm -f /etc/machine-id
+sduo rm -f /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
+
+```
+
+Then shut it down and do not boot it up
