Installing Proxmox on Bare Metal - Build VMs Like a Pro

Proxmox is a virtualization system that allows you to spin up VM's and containers with ease. This video goes over the installation of Proxmox on a bare metal system, creating VM's and the features that Proxmox provides.

With Proxmox you can run Linux, Windows and macOS VM's and access them remotely. Install full desktop environments or run them headless, Proxmox gives you everything you need.

Very helpful and well done. I am building my first Proxmox to host a Pi-Hole, and really appreciate you taking the time to put this together.

Excellent video and walkthrough!! Perfectly paced and level of information shared for somebody like me trying out EXSI, XenServer and now Proxmox!! This was exactly what I need to fill in just a couple blanks that weren't already intuitive in their GUI. You video was the first one I watched on this...I didn't even look for 'official' ones on their site and glad I didn't waste time doing that. I am interested in the GPU passthrough though, because I'm looking to add a GPU to the R710 PowerEdge I have (or at least I hope to find that will work in this older gear). Great work!!

Great video, plenty of useful information for anyone looking to learn.

ok how do you get to the web interface? are you rebooting your system into windows? I am not seeing a default browser in the debian environment

Hi everyone, I'm trying to install Proxmox on my Dell R730xd server, but I'm encountering an error during the boot process. It gets stuck on "Loading initial ramdisk..." and then goes blank. I've tried different versions of Proxmox (8.2, 8.1, 7.4, and 6.4) and followed several troubleshooting steps, including ensuring UEFI boot is enabled and secure boot is disabled, but I haven't had any luck. If anyone has experience with this or could offer some guidance, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Hi there can you make a video to install proxmox using wifi rather then Ethernet?

Thank you

How do you setup a vm that can be accessed at a different location? Does it need to be setup with vpn to access my network to access the vm?

so if I use containers, it shares my hardware between all my containers, and i don't have to allocate hardware just to one container? so if I have 3 containers running it's like running 3 programs at once all on the one pc / hardware?

[kjodirect]

Yes, would like to see GPU passthrough video

proxmox cannot be installed on bare metal. It requires a kernel which in this case is linux.
