    Old, old openvz conversion

    Hello, I have old openvz ve's (base os centos 5 and 6 - don't ask). What is the best way to move these to lxc (or anything else you recommend). They are located on a server running openvz (not proxmox). Is there a way to transfer the (/vz/private/ve_number) and conver to lxc? Thanks in advance.

    find ip of kvm server

    It is my understanding that virsh, etc. do not work with proxmox but instead one should only use the qm tools. Is there a way with qm or other tools to learn the IP of a kvm server on my proxmox node? Thanks!

    Set IP for VM before guest OS install (network install)

    I have a VM for which I'm doing a network-based install. I need the VM to have an IP address at boot up. Currently it appears the guest OS is using DHCP (supplied to promox I assume?) to get an IP. Is there a way to specify/force a particular IP for DHCP to give out. I have a few public IP's...

    containers whose filesystem is a directory on the host

    I made a few containers by hand using -rootf : pct create 100 local:vztmpl/centos-8-default_20191016_amd64.tar.xz -rootfs /vz/private/100 (I'm used to using openvz). I was surprised this worked as from what I can tell the GUI only allows .raw filesystems. I have a few questions : 1. What is...
