View source for Adventures in ProxMox

=Monday=
On Monday evening I stood up a ProxMox host server with some lesser hardware than the webserver (though it does have a wee bit more RAM).  Established an ISO folder off the NAS and did some basic things.  Set up a Win7 Home instance just to test getting a VM going: that went fairly well.  Finding a 32-bit browser on the VM was the bigger challenge.

On Tuesday evening, I powered off the webserver and clonezilla'd it.  I thought I was having cloning issues, so I ended up doing that twice.  Just as I was going to bed, I fired up Clonezilla from the blank VM and kicked off the restore... from my phone.  I really missed having arrow keys, but otherwise that was a kick.

==Morning==
This morning, restarted the VM after cloning: "Booting from Hard Disk.." message.  Same thing from last night where I had assumed it was the cloning.  Ends up I needed to change the BIOS to UEFI and then add an EFI disk.  BOOTS GALORE!  Updated the network info and... well, this update is on the VM!
<br><br>
It will probably be a few days before the next steps, which is to remove the disks from the old server and stand up another ProxMox instance, then verify that backups work to where I can restore to a different ProxMox server.
<br><br>
All this for snapshots (I kid, there are many more reasons)!<br><br>
From an "ease of use" perspective, this was very straight-forward, even with the hiccups.  ProxMox+++
==Evening==
Hello from Attic2024-2.
<br><br>
Executed a backup of Attic2024 over to the NAS and then used the backup utility to restore it with a uniqueID.  Threw in another gig of RAM for yucks.
