new proxmox installation

[wifi75]

hi, i installed proxmox 8 on a mini server, which has two disks, one m2 and one ssd.
Proxmox is installed on the M2.
I would like to use SSD disk, partitioned in lvm I believe, for the Image disk, container,iso,backup,etc, and remove those partitions from the m2 disk.
how should I proceed?

You can remove "local-lvm" from Storage from Datacenter.
Then remove the thin pool "data" which was for "local-lvm" , be careful there isn't VM disks on it ! lvremove /dev/pve/data

do I partition the ssd disk ext4 and create a directory?
or do I have to create a lvm on the ssd drive?
what is the best thing to do?

You can create Lvmthin directly from WebGUI on your ssd sata drive.

But I can leave it xfs or it is better LVM?

LVMThin is better imo.
You will need QCOW2/Directory for VM Disks if you use XFS.
It's less efficient than Block based VM Disks like LVMThin.

the problem is that lvm-thin can only contain disk and container images.
I would also like to have the backup folder on the same disk, iso...

so, require partitions, using CLI yourself,
because PVE WebGUI doesn't support custom partitionning.
