Hello,

I recently installed Proxmox and would like to use the Citadel KVM image.
Is there a way to install the qcow2 image on the machine?
I am new to this so my knowledge is pretty limited and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
 
yes, just create a new KVM VM with a new qcow2 disk. Do not start it.

now, check the config file (see /etc/qemu-server/..) and find the location of your new qcow2 disk, assign to this new KVM.
move/copy the citatel qcow2 disk file to the same location and rename it to the name of the other disk (delete the empty one before).

thats it.
 
Thank you!
That worked perfectly.
Although, my main concern was actually getting the qcow2 on the proxmox box.
After some searching I found you can use wincp to transfer it over.

Is there the possibility of adding the ability to upload files like this in future releases?
Thanks for your assistance as it helped greatly.
 
uploading big files via browser is not always stable. scp is by far better.
