Hi @Not_Oles ,
It was a plesure to read both tutorials. Very good explanations, like a good teacher. Maybe only one small observation regard ssh. You so not need to change ssh/port tcp 22. you can block tcp/22 from Internet, but you could redirect what comming from Internet to pmx host on let say port 2222 to ssh/tcp 22.
Congratulation!

So I've seen that OVH has template for Proxmox but I've never used it. The server in your tutorial and much like mine has Software RAID not Hardware RAID. As far as I've read Proxmox does not support software raid and if you're using anything important for Proxmox I'd probably want to stick with the supported solutions. Because of this I use the IPMI feature of OVH and just mount the latest ISO from my local computer and then go with installation.
Hi @catbodi Thanks for flagging this important point about software RAID being unsupported by Proxmox!
If we check the Proxmox wiki at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Software_RAID , it seems to say that "unsupported" means not tested by Proxmox. The wiki also says that software RAID is "still used by experienced users."
The OVH installer has a checkbox to install on only the first hard disk without software RAID. Installing without RAID is what was done in part one of the tutorial at https://lowendspirit.com/installing-proxmox-ve-6-2-at-soyoustart .
I wonder what are the reasons why Proxmox chooses not to test software RAID?
Best wishes and kindest regards!

We support a software based raid solutions, ZFS. mdraid is nothing what we want to recommend regarding data security.
Again, nothing special, but maybe helpful for new folks, part 3 of the Proxmox at SoYouStart tutorial is up:

Thank you very much Not_Oles for the blog post.
Seems strange in my SoYouStart I can't choose Proxmox 6.2 I only have the 5
I could get it if I create a new template but in the template we can't chose to remove the raid and use all the space.
I'll maybe post to the SoYouStart forum.

Maybe look carefully through the OS choices. In my SoYouStart panel the OS choices are in alphabetical order. One entry is "Proxmox VE 6" The version 5 entries begin with "VPS Proxmox. . . ." So the VE 6 entry is separated from the VE 5 entries.
Good luck!I can confirm, isn't in the list because isn't supported for this server in soyoustart.
That's sad because they choose to not let people install it so you are forced to take a higher tier.
Anyway, I have installed Proxmox 5, successfuly upgraded to 6 but can't access to the 2 other disks
When I installed Proxmox 5, even if I choose Raid 0 I only see the space of my first disk (2000000MB) and check or uncheck the box doesn't change anything.
Really strange.

Hi ganon!
Which server configuration are you using? Which datacenter?
I am using SYS-LE-1 Server - Intel Xeon D-1521 - 32GB DDR4 ECC 2133MHz - 2x 2To HDD SATA Soft RAID in Montreal BHS datacenter. Proxmox VE 6 is supported via the autoinstaller and it seems to work fine for my configuration in BHS at the present time.
Serveur E3-SAT-1-32 - Xeon E3-1245v2 (4c/8th) - 32GB DDR3 1333 MHz - SoftRaid 3x2To SATA in France RBX.
I ended by just installing Proxmox 5 in raid 0 with 1 disk => upgrade to Proxmox 6 via console => configure storage by console => and the rest is pretty standard (adding directory/mnt point and configuring purpose of each one)
