default ipv4 address for an instance

[Romeriz]

When I used the Telemate provider I was able to retrieve the IPV4 address assigned to the VM (whether via DHCP or static) and I used that to create my ansible hosts file. I am trying to replicate that.

This is an example :

data "template_file" "templs" {
  template = file("./templates/hosts.tpl")
  vars = {
    master_ip = "${join("\n", [for instance in proxmox_vm_qemu.master_vms : join("", [**instance.default_ipv4_address**, " ansible_user=", var.user["name"]])])}"
    node_ip   = "${join("\n", [for instance in proxmox_vm_qemu.slave_vms : join("", [**instance.default_ipv4_address**, " ansible_user=", var.user["name"]])])}"
  }
}

Is there some way to replicate this in bgs provider? If not could I request it please

I believe you can use ipv4_addresses attribute, usage example is here. That particular example produces a structure like this:

resource_proxmox_virtual_environment_vm_example_ipv4_addresses = tolist([
  tolist([
    "127.0.0.1",
  ]),
  tolist([
    "192.168.3.251",
  ]),
  tolist([]),
])

It is basically a list of lists of IP addresses that you can pick the required IP from, depends on your network configuration.

But make sure the qemu agent is installed and enabled on the VM.

I found I can use the ipv4_addresses attribute on the proxmox_virtual_environment_vm resource. It produces a list of lists which is a little awkward, so I flatten() it, and then use setsubtract() to remove localhost:

setsubtract(flatten(proxmox_virtual_environment_vm.control_plane[0].ipv4_addresses), ["127.0.0.1"])
