Ludus-TPM-Templates

Here are my Packer Templates for Ludus with TPM support.

The following systems are supported:

• Windows Server 2025 - Evaluation
• Windows 11 24H2 - Evaluation

⚠️Support

As of today, Ludus does not support the creation machines with TPM. This is due to the outdated packer-plugin-proxmox.

For TPM support the plugin version 1.2+ is required.

The reason why the maintainer of Ludus cannot upgrade to version 1.2.2 is because the cpu_type is not being passed to proxmox resulting in all hosts taking the default value regardless of cpu_type setting. See this issue.

Therefore, you need to manually build the binary until the fix has been applied and a new version published.

Build the plugin

To make it work and build a compatible version of the packer plugin proxmox follow the steps below.

1. Clone the official GitHub repo:

   git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-proxmox
   

2. Install GO as seen here.
3. Go to the file packer-plugin-proxmox/builder/proxmox/common/step_start_vm.go.
4. Add after line 133 this line as seen here.

   Type:    (*proxmox.CpuType)(&c.CPUType),
   

5. Build the plugin via

   go build
   

6. Upon successful compilation, a packer-plugin-proxmox plugin file can be found in the root directory.
7. Upload it to /opt/ludus/resources/packer/plugins/github.com/hashicorp/proxmox/ with the name packer-plugin-proxmox_v1.2.3_x5.0_linux_amd64.
8. Add the hash of the binary to allow the plugin to load.

   cat /opt/ludus/resources/packer/plugins/github.com/hashicorp/proxmox/packer-plugin-proxmox_v1.2.3_x5.0_linux_amd64 | sha256sum \
   > /opt/ludus/resources/packer/plugins/github.com/hashicorp/proxmox/packer-plugin-proxmox_v1.2.3_x5.0_linux_amd64_SHA256SUM
   

9. Now you can just run ludus templates build without any issues.
