How do I create a guest VM from qcow2 appliance file

[pint]

Hi

I have downloaded an appliance in qcow2 format.

I have no knowledge of how it was configured originally with CPU, disk, RAM etc.

How do I create a new guest VM on my Proxmox host from this file?

create a new vm with your desired configuration (how much cpu/memory/etc. )
and use 'qm importdisk' to import the qcow2 file

Thank you.

Created a new VM (no media for CD, no start after creation), and ran the qm importdisk.

Had to fiddle a little with the disks on the VM afterwards, removing the empty one that was created with the VM, and then replacing it with the "unused" one that was added by the qm importdisk.

It now works.
