Overwirte create host view for custom provisioning

How would I overwrite the interface for the operating system tab in Create->Host in a plugin. The provisioning method does not need the Media, Partition Table and Custom Partition Table
field and they are required by default.

Hi @jacac, could you provide bit more context for us?

In general the answer is by using deface, or preferably recently added Slots.

The question is regarding https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_fog_proxmox/issues/134. I’m using it to deploy LXC containers. The provisioning uses container template with cloud-init integrate + foreman user-data. During the create host process foreman requires some fields to be filled out, which are not used for the LXC deploy. Looking into https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_fog_proxmox how would I remove those fields Media, Partition Table and Custom Partition Table. Not sure if the provision method and the build checkbox is required to make the host working with cloud-init user-data.


.

Typically you would switch to Image Based, which would provided you with an image selector for the images assigned to the compute resource. So I would perhaps go the same way with proxmox to be in line with other compute resources.

Thanks Dirk. This makes sense.
