Create Windows 10 Template on Proxmox

Packer
1

Hello everyone,

So far, I have successfully created Linux templates using Packer on Proxmox. Now, I am looking to do the same for Windows 10, but I haven’t been able to make it work. Is there anyone here who can assist me with this or perhaps has a Packer file that accomplishes this? I would greatly appreciate any help.

My file looks like this at the moment

variable "proxmox_url" {
  default = "https://myproxmox:8006/api2/json"
}

variable "proxmox_host" {
  default = "proxmox"
}

variable "proxmox_username" {
  default = "myuser@pam!packer"
}

variable "proxmox_password" {
  default = "my-token"
}

variable "winrm_username" {
  default = "vagrant"
}

  default = "vagrant"

  default = "test"
}

  default = 4
