Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- name: Deploy Proxmox VE Cloud-Image Template
  hosts: pve
  become: true
  tasks:
    - name: Create Debian 12 Template
      include_role:
        name: vh.pve-template
      vars:
        pve_vm_id: "9000"
        pve_vm_name: "Debian-12"
        template_image_url: "https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/bookworm/latest/debian-12-generic-amd64.qcow2"
