Convert Raspberry Pi ubuntu image to Prox Mox VM

[fox95]

I have a raspberry Pi running ubuntu server OS 20.04 that I'd like to duplicate in proxmox but not have to totally rebuild from scratch.

I’d like to create a virtual machine in prox mox that uses the exact image from the Pi micro sd card that has above said server os installed on it.

is this possible? basically I’d like to remove the sd card from the Pi and copy it to a file and then import that file into proxmox and run it as a VM. is there a procedure to do this?

thanks

is this possible?

Technically yes however extremly hard and only possible with binary emultation (binfmt, with some problems - or QEMU) or running an inofficial PVE port on your Pi 4. Best is to not invest time into this due to the infinitisimal small chances of success for 99.9999% of all people and just go with copy a few config files from your Pi-Image to a newly created machine.

ok thanks for the insight.
