Running on NAT'ed network (ChromeOS Linux, WSL2)

WSL2 runs a virtual network . If running packer on WSL2, some firewall and port-forwarding settings must be applied on Windows in order for packer's HTTP server to be accessible to the virtual machine. A few packer variables should also be set in order to use the known, port-forwarded port and override the packer HTTP IP with the Windows host IP that's accessible to the VM being built.

Alpine cloud-init drive not loading

cloud-init tries to mount the Proxmox cloud-init CDROM with the -t auto flag. iso9660 is not recognized by default in the virt alpine image. The 'isofs' module needs to be loaded in order for cloud-init to mount the proxmox cloud-init drive

# Check if iso9660 is in /proc/filesystems
cat /proc/filesystems
