## Purpose
|
|
You may need to deploy many copies of a virtual machine rapidly, and don't want to go through the hassle of setting up everything ad-hoc as the needs arise for each VM workload. Creating a cloud-init template allows you to more rapidly deploy production-ready copies of a template VM (that you create below) into a ProxmoxVE environment.

|
### Pull Down Ubuntu Server Cloud-Init Image
|
|
You will first need to pull down the OS image from Ubuntu's website via CLI, as there is currently no way to do this via the WebUI. Using SSH or the Shell within the WebUI of one of the ProxmoxVE servers, run the following commands to download and import the image into ProxmoxVE.
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Make a place to keep cloud images
|
|
mkdir -p /var/lib/vz/template/images/ubuntu && cd /var/lib/vz/template/images/ubuntu
|
|
|
|
# Download Ubuntu 24.04 LTS cloud image (amd64, server)
|
|
wget -q --show-progress https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/noble/current/noble-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
|
|
|
|
# Import the disk into ProxmoxVE
|
|
qm importdisk 9000 noble-server-cloudimg-amd64.img nfs-cluster-storage
|
|
``` |
