While attempting to build an Ubuntu 22.04 image using Packer, with the build running on a Proxmox VM, I got the following error:
==> proxmox.ubuntu_k3s: Post "https://<ip>/api2/json/nodes/proxmox/storage/local/upload": write tcp <local ip>-><ip>: write: broken pipe
==> proxmox.ubuntu_k3s: delete volume failed: 501 Method 'DELETE /nodes/proxmox/storage/local/content/' not implemented
Build 'proxmox.ubuntu_k3s' errored after 20 milliseconds 690 microseconds: 501 Method 'DELETE /nodes/proxmox/storage/local/content/' not implemented
After a few searches, I found an open issue on GitHub pointing to permissions being lacking for the user configured for Packer. The fix was to add the correct Datastore permission. I probably added too many because I wasn’t sure which one to add, but here’s the set that worked for me:
pveum role modify <role-name-here> -privs "VM.Allocate VM.Clone VM.Config.CDROM VM.Config.CPU VM.Config.Cloudinit VM.Config.Disk VM.Config.HWType VM.Config.Memory VM.Config.Network VM.Config.Options VM.Monitor VM.Audit VM.PowerMgmt Datastore.AllocateSpace Datastore.Allocate Datastore.AllocateSpace Datastore.AllocateTemplate Datastore.Audit Sys.Audit VM.Console"
