Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Telmate/proxmox-api-go/issues/260

The code for creating a template from a VmRef expects the API response to contain a Task ID it can wait on: https://github.com/Telmate/proxmox-api-go/blob/master/proxmox/client.go#L373-L381

However, a Task ID is only returned in the QEMU VM case: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/template

When converting an LXC to a template, the response contains simply: {data: null}: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid}/template

The client then returns an error:

Can't convert Vm to template:
