I am attempting to install proxmox remotely on a SoYouStart box and am running into problems. I could simply install debian and install proxmox on top of that, however I would like to run with ZFS on root, and there is no option to do this using the default templates. Initially I attempted to boot the server into rescue mode and spin up a virtual machine to install proxmox directly via remoting into the VM, however qemu seems to be pegging a single core at 100% indefinitely without actually booting anything.
An alternative would be to install debian normally and then migrate either debian or proxmox to ZFS on root. However I have not found any resources on whether this is technically feasible or not. Is there an established method for this?
Option 3 would probably be performing an install on a local machine and cloning the disk image to the server via booting into rescue mode. Are there any gotchas I need to be aware of when doing this?
