    I am currently running Qemu-KVM on an Ubuntu 14.04 host. Since I don't have spare hardware, I will need to backup my current VM's to restore them on the new ProxMox environment.

    Hello everyone, has anyone installed CRIU in proxmox nodes to experiment live migration? How did you do so? I know it's not stable and I'll not install it on production. I would like to install it on my laboratory (kind of sandbox). Any guidance would be great! Thanks in advance
