      Hi @slynch, I unfortunately don't have any experience with Talos Linux. It seems like a very promising project. Creating packer images with the xenserver packer plugin is OS dependent. The Ubuntu and CentOS examples provided in the repo use autoinstallation and kickstart respectively. Is Talos Linux based on an existing distro that has an existing unattended / automatic install solution? I think the key to accomplishing this is using an off the shelf auto install tool or finding something that will work for Talos. Talos's nocloud data source will likely be part of this solution, however, for the existing examples it's just a means for configuring the auto install tool for the target distro. There are two platforms they support that they document using Packer - Hetzner and Upcloud - but I can't figure out how to use that knowledge to get this to work with packer-plugin-xenserver. While I'm not familiar with the the Hetzner and Upcloud packer plugins, it seems there "examples" are essentially booting a VM and then dd'ing the raw.xz file over top of a disk device. So unfortunately I don't think those examples will be useful for implementing this with the xenserver packer plugin. [image: 1680243202599-screenshot_20230330_231257.png]

      We had to reorg a bit the team, with the creation of an internal devops team. We hope to get some cool news in the following months

      @slynch OK, that's very good news then! Debian was still having issues where any configuration applied via cloud-init would just be added to the existing default DHCP config, unless you took care to build the VM without the default interfaces config beforehand.
