Here is a quick guide to setting up SSH on a Linux Container (LXC) on Proxmox. If you're using Proxmox, you'll need to access the command line using the Proxmox console to enter these commands.

Here is a quick guide to setting up a Linux Container (LXC) on Proxmox. I've opted for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for this guide given it's a bit older but supported by a lot of software. You can use another OS if you desire, but for this quick guide, we'll stick with Ubuntu.

There are a whole host of reasons to run a Linux VM on Proxmox -- from simply testing new Linux distros, to running a web server, a VPN server, or implementating a base platform to host a variety of services like Nextcloud, Plex, or Home Assistant et al. If you navigate around this site a bit, you'll find this guide will be referred to over and over again.

In this guide, we will walk through the process of installing a Windows virtual machine (VM) on Proxmox. Proxmox is a powerful open-source virtualization platform that allows you to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. For this quick guide, we will be installing a Windows 10 VM. I've opted for Windows 10 here over Windows 11 beacuse I have a Windows 10 license available and did not want to use my primary Windows 11 machine. I also try to keep some older versions and legacy systems around for testing purposes and to keep my skills sharp.

If that was your first install of Proxmox, congrats! Your journey is just beginning and there are endless opportunities for creating projects and labs and production apps and more. If you have node already functioning and are looking to add a secondary node, then follow me.
