FedoraCoreOS qemu args

[danielraq]

Hi
Is it possible to add qemu args to proxmox_vm_qemu? I need them to install fedora coreos and they need to be passed at the first boot. According to: coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#736 proxmox will handle it

I was looking to provision a cluster to try out OKD and I was also looking at this field to install FCOS. Looks like there is a args argument in the qemu resource, which is undocumented. It is in the code, but haven't tested it yet.

@hellraiserinchief I tried this and it works, except that only root has permissions to modify args

Error: 500 only root can set 'args' config

According to a comment on a related issue I ran into using Ansible (ansible-collections/community.general#1641 (comment)), this is non-negotiable. Unfortunately, in my case my root account is using MFA, which is just cumbersome. I did however manually run through this as a one-off. The API did force me to auth with root + password + otp... even so, it didn't show up in the qm showcmd output, and didn't get picked up by Fedora CoreOS either. :-(

Thanks all. Can confirm it only works with root and even then with only root and password (no API token.)

I guess for now I will continue to provision with an env vars for that and keep an eye on the thread.

Thread to keep an eye on is here- https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/root-pam-token-api-restricted.83866/

For now it appears there is little demand for such a case and the chance to check for those "super" privs in the token isn't present at all.

I tried this git repo from a small company who posted it on proxmox's forum : https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/howto-wrapper-script-to-use-fedora-coreos-ignition-with-proxmox-cloud-init-system-for-docker-workloads.86494/

Can confirm that it works on a standalone basis. I have to tie it to the provider and make it work.

It would make sense to get args documented though.
