I had a VM running ubuntu on one of my Proxmox node. While migrating to a new network, I broke my cluster and when wanting to clean it up I deleted by mistake the VM configuration... in the end I lost my VM but still have the disk.

As recommended here:
- I created a new Ubuntu VM with no disk (started the VM after creation but didnt install Ubuntu)
- I run a qm rescan --vmid ID and was able to reattach the disk
I then rebooted the VM.... but it now wants to reinstall Ubuntu, which I suppose is not a good idea.

So what should I do now / what should have I done?

Thank you

PS: and my backups are in a container that will arrive in 3 months...
 
Stop the VM, remove the Ubuntu Installation .iso, check the boot order (activate scsi0) and reboot...

was going to say the same as above - it sounds like you are booting from the installation media. remove that and see what happens.
