Enhanced the installation script to provide clearer success and error messages, added exit on critical failures, and improved verification steps for package installation, Podman, and UniFi OS installer. Also refined the startup sequence and logging for better troubleshooting.
Enhanced error handling and user feedback during base package installation, Podman configuration, and UniFi OS VM startup. Added clearer status messages, improved retry logic, and more informative progress updates for VM boot and UniFi OS installation steps.
Replaces complex QEMU guest agent and fallback IP detection with a simpler method using a fixed wait and direct IP query. Streamlines UniFi OS installation monitoring by checking port 11443 instead of script existence, and suppresses libguestfs random seed warnings in virt-customize commands.
Suppress libguestfs warnings, enable and start QEMU Guest Agent during first boot, and enhance VM IP address detection by waiting for the guest agent to become available and adding a fallback method. These changes improve reliability and provide better feedback during VM initialization.
This update introduces interactive selection of operating system (Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04) and Cloud-Init support for VM creation. The script now fetches the latest UniFi OS Server installer dynamically, configures VM settings based on user choices, and injects the installer into the appropriate cloud image. Cloud-Init configuration is handled automatically for Ubuntu and optionally for Debian, improving flexibility and automation.
