create you LXC Containers with Terraform in Proxmox

first of all create user for Terraform in Proxmox and give it all permissions to create or delete resources

you can name your user anything you want

you can also do all of this steps in the browser at https://<proxmox-ip>:8006 as well

I perfer doing it in command line

connect to your Proxmox machine and run these following commands and do not forget to replace and with your values

pveum role add TerraformProv -privs "VM.Allocate VM.Clone VM.Config.CDROM VM.Config.CPU VM.Config.Cloudinit VM.Config.Disk VM.Config.HWType VM.Config.Memory VM.Config.Network VM.Config.Options VM.Monitor VM.Audit VM.PowerMgmt Datastore.AllocateSpace Datastore.Audit"
pveum user add <USER>@pve --password <PASSWORD>
pveum aclmod / -user <USER>@pve -role TerraformProv

come back to your working directory that you have cloned the repository edit main.tf with your user and password values

terraform {
  required_providers {
    proxmox = {
      source = "telmate/proxmox"
      version = "2.9.0"
    }
  }
}
provider "proxmox" {
    pm_api_url = "https://proxmox-server01.example.com:8006/api2/json"
    pm_user = "<USER>@pve"
    pm_password = "<PASSWORD>"
}

now initialize, this is going to download provider plugin
