Okay first of all i just want to point im a rookie in those things, for you understand me 4 months ago i even dont know how to navigate in a SSH Console, i have some ideas in my mind for winning some money with a server and i decide to jump in , i just know the basics, i have the server from 2 months ago, and i need to install Proxmox.

Like these i could have necesary OS whenever i need, and have resources splited, windows 10GB 2CPU etc etc etc. Okay now my question.



What is the easiest/Affordablest Way off instaling Proxmox in a hetzner dedicated server? Do you think hetzner offers Proxmox installation? I never see it cause i didnt look up until today, thanks.


PS: I create these cause hetzner dosnt answer support till monday 8:00 so if someone is experienced in these hosting/knows any way to install proxmox easy for a rookie linux user, would be good.



Thanks to everyone who answer and hope to see you more in forums, im new btw.
 
Here is a complete thread about installing a proxmox node on a hetzner server: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Proxmox_VE You´ll not get it easier...
If you intend to create a RAID, make sure that you have a hardware RAID controller in the server and don't use software RAID. The network configuration is a bit complicated, but you will find enough stuff of it here in the forum.

I dont expect to get it easy, since im a noob in linux world

If you intend to create a RAID

I have 2x500GB SSD till now by default hetzner in my ubuntu server puts RAID 1 by default, i have a backup in the other disk and i just use 500GB , anyway i never created a RAID hope in the guide by hetzner there are setups for be able to use 1TB i have and not 500 use 500 backup.

make sure that you have a hardware RAID controller in the server

How i can check these¿?

don't use software RAID

either i dont know these, i didnt install anything releated i think

Thank you

Hetzner creates default RAID Level 1. You can go to robot.your-server.de login and check your server informations. On tab "Hardware" you should have something like this "RAID Controller 4-Port SATA PCI-E- LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i"
Btw.: You have rented a server without knowing if it has a raid controller or not? You should check the requierements before renting any server...

yes it´s a software raid. For Proxmox hardware raid is recommend. I think you can ask Hetzner support for upgrade.

Like you can see im a total noob. What about if i dont create the raid for my disk, ask for hardware raid and just follow guide for install Proxmox? can i have any issues? thanks
 
My Metod:
Run server on Rescue mode = Linux(beta) 64bit

Download iso image:

Run Virtual ENV:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -cpu host -smp 8 -drive file=/dev/sda,format=raw,cache=none,index=0,media=disk -drive file=/dev/sdb,format=raw,cache=none,index=1,media=disk -cdrom proxmox-ve_5.1-3.iso -boot d -vnc :0​

Connect to VNC - install system, rebot

Run system, and setup network card
nano /etc/network/interfaces​

Rebot server. It is olny 5min :)



#/etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp3s0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 68.19.11.155
netmask 255.255.255.224
gateway 68.19.11.129
