Proxmox – an open source virtualization system based on the Debian operating system.
On the test, I will install Proxmox in Debian 9.
Switch to the root user:
su
Open the /etc/hosts file in a text editor:
nano /etc/hosts
Let’s name the server test, replace 127.0.1.1 with the IP-aders server, or comment out the line with 127.0.1.1 and add a new one below. If this is not done, an error is likely to occur during the installation process.
#127.0.1.1 test 192.168.0.101 test
Add the Proxmox VE repository:
echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list
Add the Proxmox VE repository key:
wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg
Let’s update the list of repositories and the system:
apt update apt dist-upgrade
Install the packages Proxmox VE:
apt install proxmox-ve postfix open-iscsi
Let’s check:
lsof -i tcp:8006
After installation, open the Proxmox VE https://IP:8006/ interface in the browser, select “Linux PAM standard authentication” and log in with a root account and a password from Debian.
Add the network bridge to the server.
It is also recommended to remove os-prober if it is installed and on the disk one operating system:
apt remove os-prober
Ready images can be downloaded from download.openvz.org/template/precreated to the /var/lib/vz/template/cache directory.
ISO files for installing operating systems must be placed in /var/lib/vz/template/iso.
The Proxmox system can also be downloaded in an ISO ready form from the official proxmox.com website and perform a clean installation.
