Hello I have two ProxMox servers One on X86 machine and one on Raspberry PI4 machine I was wondering can I somehow convert a raspberry physical machine to proxmox? If so, how can I do it I already have images of the raspberry physical machines made with HDDRawCopy1.10Portable taking the raspeberry's SD creating a rew files in .img format Another Question Can a Raspberry virtual machine also run on the ProMox x86 server or does it only run on the aspberry PI4 server? Thank you
 
Your PVE is x86
Raspberry is ARM
Hence you need to emulate the CPU.
Seems to be possible with qemu according to
https://azeria-labs.com/emulate-raspberry-pi-with-qemu/
Have no experience so good luck ;)
Yes I have two ProxMox servers One installed on an X86 server machine and one on a Raspberry PI4 8G quidi Arm But if emulation works Raspian system on x86 server i will be happy to turn off the proxmox server on PI4
 
Hello,

I've successfully tested https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0661.html (not my site) a few days ago. So ARM does work for me. I did NOT test an actual migration of a real Raspberry though...

Bood luck
Thanks another thing that I would like to understand
is how I can migrate an already existing system on a raspberry
on proxmox even if it is installed on a raspbery
So without the problem of emulating an arm processor

Or how to transform an image
of a raspberry SD or SSD on proxmox

With winodwos systems I have happily migrated physical machine with these commands

copy raw image to
cd / var / lib / vz / template / qcow /
then launched
qemu-img convert -f vhdx image.vhdx -O raw image.raw
qm importdisk 102 image.raw local-zfs

but this thing also works with the .img files of the raspian or those that creates HDDRawCopy1.10Portable when I run a raw of a raspberry SD or SSD? Or should I use another program to make a raw of the raspberry disk to show it to proxmox?

Thank you
