Error creating VM: error creating VM upload 'Content-Type 'multipart/form-data

[guillemlc]

Overview of the Issue

I am trying to build a Fedora CoreOS template with Packer, and later use the template with Terraform.

I am getting stuck, however at the VM creation step.

Reproduction Steps

Create a build file similar to the one supplied. Run: packer build --on-error=ask .

Plugin and Packer version

Packer v1.8.6 packer-plugin-proxmox_v1.1.2_x5.0_linux_amd64

Simplified Packer Buildfile

The relevant part of the Buildfile:

  additional_iso_files {
    cd_files = ["./config/template.ign"]
    iso_storage_pool = "ISOs"
    unmount = true
  }

  # CoreOS does not support CloudInit
  cloud_init = false
  qemu_agent = true

  scsi_controller = "virtio-scsi-pci"

  cpu_type = "host"
  cores = "2"
  memory = "2048"
  os = "l26"

  vga {
    type = "qxl"
    memory = "16"
  }

  network_adapters {
    model = "virtio"
    bridge = "vmbr0"
  }

  disks {
    disk_size = "45G"
    format = "qcow2"
    storage_pool = "datastore"
    storage_pool_type = "nfs"
    type = "virtio"
  }

Operating system and Environment details

Running from Fedora37 Proxmox is v7.3-3 pve user has full privileges ( I kept adding in case )

datastore is a nfs datastore for images and snippets ISOs is an nfs datastore for ISO files

Same error here, as a workaround I downgraded packer to v1.8.5-1 and it worked

I think this is duplicate of #154

@nbensa yes, very much likely.

@guillemlc I can't see from your example which Proxmox builder you use, but it looks like proxmox. Can you test if the error also occurs when you use proxmox-iso?

For details see this issue: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/12309

[nbensa]

I'm also using proxmox. I was not aware of proxmox-iso. I just built an image using proxmox-iso. Thank you!
