Installation - Proxmox VE — by Proxmox Server Solutions (Proxmox VE wiki)

beginnerpageLink only (©)

Wiki page covering the Proxmox VE installer: boot the installer, pick a target disk and filesystem (ext4, xfs, ZFS, or btrfs as a tech preview), set the root password and network, then manage it at https://<ip>:8006. The install wipes the selected drives, and ZFS on top of hardware RAID is not supported.

Quick steps

  1. Create installer media, boot it and choose Install Proxmox VE (Graphical)
  2. Select disk(s), location, root password and network
  3. Reboot and open https://<your-ip>:8006, logging in as root (realm PAM)

advancedforum

A step-by-step NVIDIA passthrough write-up on Proxmox VE 8.4.9 using Intel VT-d: update BIOS, enable IOMMU in GRUB, create a q35/OVMF VM, blacklist nouveau and nvidia on the host, bind the GPU to vfio and add a hostpci line to the VM. Comments add that vfio_virqfd can be omitted on current releases and that Secure Boot can interfere with guest driver installs.
