Description

After the initial netbox's import, several vms are detected as physical devices instead of vms.

It seems it's due to lspci which is not installed (pciutils package) :

root@bojimans:/usr/share/puppet# facter -d is_virtual
2020-10-15 14:06:41.923443 INFO  puppetlabs.facter - executed with command line: -d is_virtual.

2020-10-15 14:06:42.017685 DEBUG puppetlabs.facter - fact "virtual" has resolved to "physical".
false

@olasd proposed to install all the packages with a priority package and ran it on all the running servers with the command :

aptitude -y install "?priority(standard)!~i?archive(stable)

The debian10 template needs to be updated too

There may be relevant information on how the template got bootstraped initially in the sysadm repository [1]

There is a proxmox builder [1] for packer, I will give it a try to check if we can benefit of the work done for vagrant on puppet and have a common base between the real vms and the local vms used to test.
