Install Proxmox on LAMP server

[Kordian]

Hello,
I am new here. I have Debian Jessie installed and configured as Lamp Server. I am considering installing Proxmox and since it has it's own kernel, my question is what will happen to my Apache, MySql and PHP after the installation. Will all this be removed or will it still work? Is it at all possible to have Lamp and Proxmox working together?
Thank you in advance for the prompt answer!
Regards

They will work together, yet I strongly advise against it. Don't mix hypervisor and other stuff. Move everything inside of an LX(C) container or VM and only manage everything as a container inside of PVE. This is more secure.

OK, so I suppose in order for both to work, I should not remove the Debian kernel, should i?
If I boot from Debian, the system with my lamp will start as well as the proxmox virtual environment?
I may switch totally to Proxmox in the future, but for the time being I already have almost everything up and running. My only problem now are the old vmware server 2 machines, which I would like to migrate to proxmox as well. This is also possible, if I am not mistaken?

No it can be installed, but not used at the same time.

If I boot from Debian, the system with my lamp will start as well as the proxmox virtual environment?

In general, yes.

This is also possible, if I am not mistaken?

Nothing is impossible. Please refer to https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE

Now I am a little bit confused. My goal is to have lamp up and running together with virtual machines. Can it be done with Proxmox while I have already installed the lamp, or not? Instruction says Proxmox kernel will be installed aside the Debian, advising removing the latter. After removing the Debian kernel, what happens to lamp?

Nothing. LAMP does not care about the running kernel.
