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
  • Place ISOs in /var/lib/vz/template/iso
  • VM install from ISO
    • When installing a VM from an ubuntu ISO, install to the drive allocated for the ISO.
    • 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
