You can select any VM and clone it in VM.

For simpler VMs:

  • provide a hostname and ID for the new VM during clone, and hit OK
  • wait for proxmox to clone it (how do you monitor this, not sure yet...)
  • start it and open a console
  • the hostname will be old, fix it
sudo hostname mahhost
sudo emacs -nw /etc/hostname
  • get the MAC address
ip a
  • add an entry to dnsmasq and restart the service
🌵 m@bitpost  [~/config/etc/dnsmasq.d] emacs -nw /etc/dnsmasq.d/mdm_lan_dnsmasq.conf 
  • reboot the VM
  • verify IP and ssh
  • migrate ~/config

Config will be pointing to the config of the old box. Wow, for some reason, /etc/fstab is stowed and working. OK!

  • create a new development/config/ubuntu/mahhost as a copy of the cloned one
  • point ~/config to that
  • run setup_stow.sh
