Version 1.2.1

• [PROXMOX] Optional cloud-init drive attachment - new cloud_init and cloud_init_storage_pool variables (default false/local) in the rhel, debian and ubuntu templates; when enabled, the finished template gets an empty cloud-init drive ready for cloning
• [PROXMOX] proxmox_generic.sh - new -C true|false flag (default false) to toggle the cloud-init drive; validates the value, rejects unsupported families (sles, windows) with a clear error, and passes the override after all --var-file arguments so the command line always wins
• [PROXMOX] Added cloud-init clean --logs --seed to the rhel and ubuntu builds so clones always run a full first-boot cloud-init pass (debian already had it)
• [EXTRA] Kickstarts for AlmaLinux/Oracle Linux/Rocky Linux 9 and 10 (all hypervisor variants) - added DVD-available baseline packages: rsyslog, zip, unzip, tcpdump, lsof, bind-utils, net-tools, iperf3
• [EXTRA] Debian 12/13 preseeds (BIOS and UEFI) - added rsyslog, iperf3, bat, btop, duf, glances, ioping, nload to the late_command package install
• [EXTRA] Removed ssh_pwauth from the generic cloud-init cloud.cfg files (rhel, debian, ubuntu, suse) so cloud-init no longer writes an sshd_config.d drop-in on first boot; oci/alicloud configs keep password auth disabled
• [ANSIBLE] provision_{alma,oracle,rocky}{9,10}_variables.yml - added EPEL extras bat, btop, duf, glances, ioping, nload (glances commented out on the 10.x files - not yet available in EPEL 10)
• [README] Documented proxmox_generic.sh parameters (including the new -C flag) and added a Cloud-init drive section covering storage pools, retrofitting existing templates with qm set, and cicustom snippet deployment
• [README] Replaced the 104-row per-version command table with two explained usage examples and a compact supported-versions table

1.2.0

• [BREAKING_CHANGE] Removed Webmin from all Linux provisioning - installation block, repository, package, service, and firewall rich-rules are gone; provisioned images no longer ship Webmin
• [ANSIBLE] Replaced neofetch with fastfetch for system information in the MOTD across all RHEL-family and Ubuntu provisioning
• [ANSIBLE] Disabled Cockpit by default and removed its associated service configuration and package dependencies
• [ANSIBLE] Cleaned up unneeded packages from base OS installations across distributions
• [ANSIBLE] Reordered the create_motd condition so r_install_fastfetch_package is defined is checked before is success, preventing failures when fastfetch installation is skipped
• [EXTRA] Added fastfetch.jsonc configs for Ubuntu (extra/files/ubuntu/shared/) and gen2-linux (extra/files/gen2-linux/)
• [EXTRA] Added prepare_fastfetch.sh bootstrap (repo install with a pinned upstream .deb fallback for older releases); removed legacy prepare_neofetch.sh
• [EXTRA] Made fastfetch optional in motd.sh - guarded the invocation with binary and config existence checks so logins no longer emit command-not-found errors
• [EXTRA] prepare_fastfetch.sh now fails the build (exit 1 to stderr) when fastfetch cannot be installed instead of silently continuing with a broken MOTD
• [EXTRA] Fixed the Ubuntu fastfetch logo source to ubuntu_small (was using a RHEL variant)
• [PROXMOX] Reworked proxmox_ubuntu.pkr.hcl provisioning to align with the fastfetch/streamlined base image changes
• [README] Split status badges onto separate lines for readability and to satisfy line-length linting

1.1.9

• [PROXMOX] RHEL 10 family Support - Added variable packs (BIOS and UEFI) for:
  • AlmaLinux 10, 10.1, 10.2
  • Oracle Linux 10, 10.1
  • Rocky Linux 10, 10.1, 10.2
• [EXTRA] Added kickstart configs for AlmaLinux 10 (extra/files/almalinux/10/proxmox/ks.cfg) and Oracle Linux 10 (extra/files/oraclelinux/10/proxmox/ks.cfg)

• [EXTRA] Fixed the services --enabled directive to use comma-separated values instead of spaces in AlmaLinux 10, Oracle Linux 10, and Rocky Linux 10 kickstarts - space-separated values are invalid and prevented chronyd, sshd, and NetworkManager from being enabled during install
• [README] Added AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux and Rocky Linux 9.8 and RHEL 10 family usage examples to the Proxmox command table
