Failing to boot Home Assistant qcow2 image disk - UEFI Access Denied

How does importing an existing QCOW disk work?
I created a VM, stored the QCOW home assisant disk on storage, and then manual renamed it to the disk name as created by the VM.
Or is there a fancier option which just allows you to select the disk via the Proxmox webgui?

Disabling 'Secure Boot' does not get my Home Assistant to work btw?

I used this as a guide :

Worked for me once I changed from Seabios to UEFI bios.

Disabling Secure boot fixed my problem. I should have updated my post earlier, sorry.



Not in your host machine, but in the Proxmox VM. When you see the Proxmox logo when booting a VM, hit escape and then go to Device Manager -> Secure Boot Configuration then disable Attempt Secure Boot.
Created an account just to thank you for this -- most appreciated! :))
