Hi.

Is there a way of creating an ova using Proxmox? I've a project that requires creating an OVA on a regular basis and want to snapshot a specific VM and create an OVA of it at that point.

I've searched through the guides, and google hasn't turned up much either?

Thanks in advance
Matt
 
PVE does not have a builtin export functionnality, but you could create an OVF associated with a disk image using
https://github.com/EmmanuelKasper/import2vbox

then if you create a tarball containing the generated OVF and the vmdk, you have your OVA archive
