How to disable replacing CTs on `pulumi up`?

[muhlba91]

your code doesn‘t set the disk property. hence, the default one applies and i guess then a diff is detected. when previewing, can you select details to see what exactly changed in the disk property?
that should give you a hint on what you need to set in your code to propose the same configuration than the container has after creation.

if you really don‘t want/need to set the disk property a simple way to ignore that property is the pulumi resource option ignoreChanges to be set to ['disk'].

Fantastic, with ignoreChanges I get the "desired" behaviour:

I'll probably just daisy chain the disk property from the template to the containers, to avoid the default reset, and stay explicit about what's happening.

Thank you very much!

can you please provide an example, and the outcome of a pulumi preview?
i suppose something changed that forces replacement; for this it's necessary to have as many details as possible.

Sure thing (it's very possible I'm doing something wrong?):

To not confuse my OpenWRT router, I generally stick to deleteBeforeReplace: true; however, disabling this (I commented it out to reproduce the "bug"), should result in the default behaviour which recreates the CT before the proxmoxve provider deletes it.

Thanks for any hints, @muhlba91 ! 😄
