✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

🔎 Did you run the script with verbose mode enabled?

Yes, verbose mode was enabled and the output is included below

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

ubuntu2504-vm.sh

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/vm/ubuntu2504-vm.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

Default Settings
Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Ubuntu 24.10

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

8.4.14

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

After running the script in proxmox console, it says
"Setup Cloud-Init before starting"
However, before this msg is even displayed, the VM is auto-started by the script. Then there is no way to log into the VM unless you turn off the VM to run cloud init.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Install the ubuntu 25.04 from helper script with the following command
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/vm/ubuntu2504-vm.sh)"
Notice the msg indicating cloud-init should be run BEFORE the vm is started.
Notice the VM is up and running already, and there is no known username or password to login to the VM since cloud init has not been run.

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

No specific error msg. Just no user available to log in with when the VM autostarts.

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

The point of these scripts is to save the users time. However, it did not save me time when I ran the script, and found the VM up and running. Having not needed to use cloud init in the past, I was not familiar with the process.
I ended up running google searches, deleting the VM, re-installing it with advanced settings and looking to add a password somewhere in the advanced settings.

Anyway, I did notice the cloud init msg on the second time around. But then I was further confused that the VM had autostarted, despite the msg saying you need to run cloud-init before the VM starts.

After shutting off the VM, putting in some cloud init settings and clicking "regenerate image" I was able to power it on and log in. Felt like a lot of guesswork, which is par for the course in the open source world... but we can do better.

An additional helpful thing would be to mention cloud-init on the community scripts page with the ubuntu 25.04 installation instructions.
