Installing Proxmox on a Hetzner server.

[thusband]

I currently have Proxmox on a NUC but would like to install it on a dedicated auction server from Hetzner. Installing Proxmox on my NUC was pretty easy as you just boot to the flash drive but some tutorials I've read and looked at about installing on a dedicated Hetzner server seem a bit daunting. Are there tutorials that explain it at a pretty basic level? I'm a Linux novice.

Two of the tutorials I looked are:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgV8B-u9Kps
and
https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/install-and-configure-proxmox_ve?title=Proxmox_VE/en

One of the other members here, (Q-wulf) Hetzner will set up Proxmox via a remote-console using a Proxmox ISO setup on a local USB-Stick. That sounds like the way to go but still a little intimidating.

Many thanks for any pointers.

Hi,

This is also the official tutorial from Hetzner [0], you maybe not need to install Docker as it is not recommended to install docker on top of Proxmox VE, and also you can install it as an ext4 instead of ZFS. Otherwise, you can install a Debian on your Hetzner server then install the Proxmox VE on top of Debian as described in our guide [1].

OK thanks. It sounds a bit complicated. I thought I could load an image on a flash drive locally and then mount the drive to one of their auction servers, reboot and install Proxmox like I did on my NUC.
