Create a container in the Proxmox system. You can create LXC-based containers, but because they are paravirtualized, you cannot create other types of operating systems like Windows. |
|
| [1] | Log in to the Proxmox VE management console, right-click the [Hostname] in the left pane, and select [Create CT] from the menu. |
|
| [2] | For the [Node] field, specify the node you created if you are using a cluster configuration. For [VM ID], specify an arbitrary ID number. For the [Hostname] field, enter the name of the container. For the [Password] field, set the root password for the container. |
|
| [3] | Specify the storage location for the container and the OS template to use for creation. |
|
| [4] | Specifies the size of the container's storage. |
|
| [5] | Specifies the number of CPUs to allocate to the container. |
|
| [6] | Specifies the amount of memory to allocate to the container. |
|
| [7] | These are the container's network settings. You can change them as needed. In most cases, the default settings are fine. |
|
| [8] | Configure the DNS that the container will refer to. |
|
| [9] | This is a confirmation of the settings you have configured so far. If everything is correct, click the [Finish] button. |
|
| [10] | If created successfully, it will display [Task OK]. |
|
| [11] | Once the container is created, it will appear under the hostname in the left pane. To power on the container, click the [Start] button at the top. To connect to the container's console, click the [Console] button at the top. |
|
| [12] | Connecting to the container's console will open a new window. To log in, you can use the root password you set during creation. |
|
| [13] | After creating the container, check that it's working correctly, including network connectivity. |
