Kaliform - Terraform Configuration for Kali Linux VMs

This repository contains Terraform configurations for automatically deploying multiple Kali Linux virtual machines on a Proxmox virtualization environment. The setup creates two sets of Kali Linux instances with specific network configurations and hardware allocations. Done from my MacBook.

Overview

The configuration creates:

• 2 VMs named kali-linux-21 and kali-linux-22 on storage nvme002
• 2 VMs named kali-linux-11 and kali-linux-12 on storage nvme001

Each VM is configured with:

• 4 CPU cores
• 6GB RAM
• 90GB SSD storage
• Dual network interfaces
• Cloud-init support
• Hot-plug capabilities for network, disk, USB, and memory

Prerequisites

• Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) server
• Terraform installed (version compatible with provider telmate/proxmox 2.9.14)
• A Kali Linux template VM named template-kalilinux in your Proxmox environment ###(must cloud-init image)
• Valid Proxmox API tokens
• SSH key pair for VM access

Network Configuration

Each VM is configured with two network interfaces:

• Primary Network (vmbr0):
  • First set: 192.168.11.101/16, 192.168.11.102/16
  • Second set: 192.168.11.111/16, 192.168.11.112/16
  • Gateway: 192.168.10.1
• Secondary Network (vmbr1):
  • First set: 10.10.10.101/24, 10.10.10.102/24
  • Second set: 10.10.10.111/24, 10.10.10.112/24

Required Variables

Create a terraform.tfvars file with the following variables:

pm_api_url           = "https://your-proxmox-server:8006/api2/json"
pm_api_token_id      = "your-token-id"
pm_api_token_secret  = "your-token-secret"
ssh_key             = "your-ssh-public-key"

Usage

1. Clone this repository
2. Create and populate the terraform.tfvars file with your values
3. Initialize Terraform:

terraform init

4. Review the planned changes:

terraform plan

5. Apply the configuration:

terraform apply

Important Notes

• The configuration assumes a Proxmox node named r630-pve
• VM IDs are automatically assigned in the 2001-2002 and 2011-2012 ranges
• All VMs use virtio networking and SCSI disk configuration
• Cloud-init is enabled for initial VM configuration
• TLS verification is disabled for the Proxmox API connection

Security Considerations

• The terraform.tfvars file contains sensitive information and is excluded from version control
• API tokens should have the minimum required permissions
• Consider enabling TLS verification in production environments by setting pm_tls_insecure = false

Maintenance

Remember to:

• Regularly update the Kali Linux template VM
• Monitor disk usage on the nvme001 and nvme002 storage
• Keep Terraform provider versions updated
• Review and update network configurations as needed
