User Guide: Using the Proxmox Auto Installer Build
This document describes how to use the Dockerized Proxmox Auto Installer image to generate unattended Proxmox VE installation ISOs for multiple profiles (e.g., pve-1, pve-2). Overview The proxmox-auto-installer Docker image wraps the official proxmox-auto-install-assistant tool to convert a standard Proxmox VE ISO into an unattended-install ISO using profile-specific answer.toml files. By specifying a profile name, you can maintain multiple configurations and generate distinct custom ISOs in a reproducible manner. Prerequisites Docker installed (version 20.10+). A Proxmox VE ISO (e.g., proxmox-ve_8.4-1.iso). Profile directories each containing an answer.toml file. Write permissions for the output directory.
