I am trying to install Ubuntu Core 20 as a VM (not a CT). I followed a guide here;
https://blog.viktorpetersson.com/2019/10/03/ubuntu-core-on-proxmox.html

As I am using Ubuntu Core 20, I did this;
Code:
wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/20/stable/current/ubuntu-core-20-amd64.img.xz
unxz ubuntu-core-20-amd64.img.xz
qm importdisk 101 ubuntu-core-20-amd64.img vm_hdd

I have also tried to convert the .img to an .iso then just start the VM with the image on the DVD drive I created - that failed to work
I have also tried to use the .img, it too failed

Everytime I boot the VM it just goes into a boot loop saying "No boot device found"

any ideas?

In your VM go to options and check the boot order and make sure the imported disk is in there and checked.
 
I am not sure where I am going wrong?

I import as follows;
Code:
qm importdisk 101 ubuntu-core-20-amd64.img vm_hdd


...
transferred 3.6 GiB of 3.6 GiB (100.00%)
Successfully imported disk as 'unused0:vm_hdd:vm-101-disk-0'
