Extend my 'local' disk

[Clemnt]

Hello, I am new to Proxmox, I have just started my own server.
I noticed that my 'local' volume was only 7.56GB even though I installed Proxmox on a 64GB drive.
Can I increase the capacity?
I searched but couldn't find a specific solution to my question.

Thanks in advance to the community

First Question: Did you install PVE to a USB stick or SD card? You shouldn't do that as PVE will kill it in no time and I would highly recommend to install PVE again on a real SSD/HDD.

And PVE will split your disk into two storages. "local" for the root filesystem and all files like ISOs, LXC templates and so on. And "local-lvm" as a block level storage where you can store the virtual disks of your VMs/LXCs only.
You use PVE to run guest, so usually you want most of that storage for virtual disks, so this storage should use the remaining capacity of your disk by default.

When installing PVE you can click on the "advanced option" and specify how much space you want for swap, "local" and "local-lvm". See chapter "Advanced LVM configuration options": https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Installation
