Proxmox Installation
- In BIOS, enable SVM (cpu virtualization) (you need a modern AMD or Intel chipset)
- Get the latest proxmox release ISO, dd it to a thumb drive (use Flash_Drives SAM 64 EVO)
- Boot and install onto the primary drive over any existing OSes
- During install, use ext4
- I deemed ZFS too fancy, it's basically software raid, and troublesome according to some
Available VM Types
- Place ISOs in /var/lib/vz/template/iso
- To upload via Proxmox web ui:

VM Installation
- VM install from ISO
- When you first boot an ubuntu iso, it will behave like an installation thumb drive.
- Install to the only available drive of the VM (/dev/sda). Proxmox is smart enough to allow this. The install ISO ends up as a DVD drive.
- Once VM install is completed, remove the DVD:
- sudo umount /dev/sf0 (or whatever)
- Proxmox > (VM) > hardware > DVD > remove
- Proxmox > (VM) > shutdown, then start
Proxmox VMs on Melange
- abtdev1
- Ubuntu 20.04.01 LTS, 4 cores, 4GB mem, 80GB drive, auto-login
