Sidero and Proxmox CCM

[dhess]

Hi! Thanks for this repo, it's very helpful!

I see you're using both Sidero and Proxmox CCM in your configs. We're using CAPI + Sidero to provision bare Proxmox VMs and would like to also use Proxmox CCM, to label the nodes with the necessary Proxmox metadata (e.g., zone == Proxmox node) so that we can use the Proxmox CSI, but as I understand it, both Sidero and Proxmox CCM want to be a node provider, which seems like it shouldn't be possible.

If I'm reading your config correctly, it looks like you don't run Proxmox CCM in your CAPI + Sidero-provisioned clusters (e.g., cluster-0), is that right? So do you run Proxmox CSI in your CAPI + Sidero clusters, and if so, how do you set the necessary labels?

Hi @dhess, Sidero and CAPI are only used to bootstrap talos clusters on the nodes. Proxmox CCM is used to add some cloud provider logic to the k8s clusters hence Proxmox CSI can be used in conjunction with Proxmox CCM. None of them are used as node providers. You can create nodes whatever way suits you - terraform, ansible, or Proxmox Operator as in this repo.

Yes, you are correct. I am using CCM/CSI in my CAPI + Sidero-provisioned clusters. They are deployed in Management cluster only, for testing purposes. I do not see any issues of adding them to CAPI clusters though.
