Error is here
github.com/Telmate/proxmox-api-go@db6e9b5241/proxmox/config__guest.go (L111)

And it works without any issues after fixing and building the provider.

I did this

// var guestNameRegex = regexp.MustCompile("^([a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9]|-)+$")
var guestNameRegex = regexp.MustCompile("^[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+$")
