@olivierlambert I think I have found a fix on the Packer side like you were talking about. I have the templates working being built from the "Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04" default template. I created a pull request here let me know what you think, this is my first excursion with golang

RE: XO Packer template disk issuesposted in Xen Orchestra
Update 1
I rebuilt my template with all of the exact same settings but instead of cloning from the "Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04" default template within XO, I told Packer to clone from the "Other install media" default template. Doing that now makes XO show the cloudinit settings when creating a vm from the Packer generated template. I dont know why changing what template im cloning from changes the results but I think this is still a issue that needs to be fixed. To me it seems like its a disconnect somewhere between Packer and XO. On one side or the other its applying some parameters or not applying some parameters thats needed to see the existing disk. Any ideas?
Debug Logs
For clarity im attaching the same debug info that I did for the other two templates. The new template that I created has a name label of "ubuntu-2004-server-test-golden-v2023.01" and a UUID of "42d967db-44f9-8ba5-37b7-2a09da8b5b7e"

XO Packer template disk issuesposted in Xen Orchestra
To provide some background I was talking with @olivierlambert over on ddelnano's Discord about an issue I was having with the cloudinit options not showing up in XO on any templates I made with the XenServer packer.io builder made by ddelnano.
xcp-ng / xen orchestra setup
- XCP-NG Hosts
- 3x Dell r630's
- XCP-NG Version: XCP-ng 8.2.1
- Build Number: release/yangtze/master/58

- commit f95a2
- xo-server 5.107.4
- xo-web 5.108.0
- 4 vcpu's, 8G RAM, 2 VIFS (one to mgmt net, the other to the storage net), 25G disk
What im trying to do
Im trying to have packer run every month via a CI/CD pipeline to generate a golden vm template every month. My goal for the template is to have it "cloudinit ready" so I can use it in my Terraform configs to provision workload vm's. I also want Packer to use Ansible to install basic system monitoring utilities such as netdata and any other necessary packages for example the xe-guest-utilities.
Where I am right now
Right now I have got Packer working up to a degree, I can create the template completely fine. I have gotten Packer to run my ansible playbooks on the host and have also used the file provisioner and shell provisioner to test installing packages and moving files onto the template vm. Where I am stuck though is getting the cloudinit options to show up inside of XO. I have validated multiple times that my vm template has a disk attached to it and if I create a vm from the Packer generated template I get the options shown below
As you can see the disk from the template is there for sure under the name "Packer-disk" but I still get prompted to insert a iso/dvd instead of prompting me for a ssh key or cloudinit config which by my understanding it should show those feilds if there is a disk in the template which there is but thats obviously not working. If I continue and create the vm with the options as shown below it boots into a fully installed ubuntu 20.04 os and is configured just like it should be with the ansible playbooks, shell provisioner, and file provisioner taking affect and working perfectly. The issue is there is no cloudinit disk which leaves the cloudinit config in the os "broken" due to there being nothing for cloudinit's nocloud or configdrive datasource to read.
Troubleshooting
The first thing that I did to troubleshoot is I downloaded the Ubuntu 20.04 cloudimg ova file and imported it into XO through the VM import utility in the web console. I then immediately turned it into a template and tried to create a vm from that and that showed all of the cloudinit options as expected.
The template has a name label of "ubuntu-focal-20.04-cloudimg" and the template UUID is "d1d97fd9-4d01-39cb-f5b8-e34c3a97ccc8". I then wanted to compare the template parameters so I went and looked for my Packer generated template, it has a name label of "ubuntu-2004-server-golden-v2023.01" and a UUID of "422081e2-6b73-f642-fc82-6cba4313a9da". From there I then went out and got the following data that has been posted in the Debug Logs Section, a list of the template parameters, a list of vbd's attached to each template, a list of the vbd's parameters, and a list of the vdi parameters.
Ive only been using the XCP-NG and XO platform for about 5-6 months so I am sorry if there is somewhat obvious diagnostic data missing, let me know and im happy to gather any information needed to resolve this issue. From my limited knowledge this seems like its somehow related to XO not seeing the attached disk on the template or the Packer plugin not setting some parameters that are required for XO to see the attached disk when converting to a template. If anyone has any suggestions or any ways to help me out it would be very appreciated.

RE: XCP-NG / XO Packer Pluginposted in Development
@olivierlambert Thanks for reaching out so quickly, is the API at a state where it would be stable enough to start to develop a plugin around it? Or is it in the backlog due to the constantly changing API

XCP-NG / XO Packer Pluginposted in Development
Apologies if this is the wrong category but I am currently using the "XenServer packer.io builder" forked by ddelnano which according to the hashicorp docs says "This is a fork of the original, and recommended by the developers of XCP-NG". Just curious if there were any plans to have the vates team contribute or maintain the plugin? I'm very grateful for the work that ddelnano has put in, it just seems like over the past couple months there hasn't been much activity on the management side of the repo and would hate to see it go down the same path of the original repo. I also saw there was some talk about creating a completely new plugin using the XO API by @olivierlambert. I would be more than happy to contribute some time to the project. I just personally don't know the status of the XO API or the future of the existing plugin and didn't want to devote time to something that is going to be forgotten about. I would love to see this maybe even be a community effort like others have talked about in the past and like how the terraform plugin was made.
Sorry for the wall of text but any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am currently migrating all of our hypervisors to xcp and would like to approach the new infrastructure from a IaC standpoint as much as possible.
