What I ask is that Proxmox offer us a native DHCP server integration, so that we can configure VMs as easily as in cloud-init based VMs or containers.

I do not have a solution but I see the point of José.

The thing is about having untrusted VMs where a user can install any OS and can hack around in the VM as he like (e.g. setting any MAC addresses on the interfaces). Hence, any agent-based solution does not work. So, if the VM uses DHCP and the DHCP is integrated into Proxmox/qemu (if possible) that would be a great feature. Assigning an IP address as any other VM parameter (disk ...) and then beeing sure that the VM got this IP address offered by DHCP (and any other IP addresses, MAC addresses configured in the VM will be refused) would be a very very nice feature.

So why having DHCP integrated into Proxmox instead of adding it outside? Why is storage replication added to Proxmox instead of doing it manually with cronjobs? Why is User management integrated inside Proxmox although could could implement it yourself with some reverse proxy in front of the GUI?  Because it is very useful.

Honestly, the first time I used Proxmox and provisioned a VM I asked myself why I can not configure the network settings of the VM.
