I've used Packer to build VMWare VMs, and this is my first attempt using it with ProxMox, so I won't discount user error.
My system (RHEL 8 with 16GB RAM) running Packer (1.8.6 [go1.18.9 linux amd64]), and the ProxMox server is version 7.3-3.
But when I run it with PACKER_LOG=1 and -debug, the ISO upload/download appears to work, but it soon exits with fatal error: runtime: out of memory
Reproduction Steps
Run the PACKER_LOG=1 packer build -on-error=ask -timestamp-ui -debug ./rhel-8.pkr.hcl command with the simple Packer build file (below) against a ProxMox 7.3-3 system and it bails.
I am open to suggestions to simplify this to remove points of errors for further debugging.

This is the main portion of my HCL file (omitting the local variables). The storage_pool, iso_storage_pool, and the hostnames in the URLs below have been redacted, but are correct for my network (using copy-and-paste from the debug output into a browser retrieves expected files).
And yes, for now I'm using my "root" account in ProxMox to login - trying to eliminate permissions errors where possible.
