I've deployed Proxmox VE 5.1 to a bare metal cloud instance that required me to deploy a pre-configured qcow2 image of Proxmox with cloud-init installed. It worked fine, things are up and running.

However, because I wanted to keep the image size small, I made the whole disk only 8 GB, which is too small. Is there a way to increase the size of the root partition from within the running system (online)? I don't have the ability to boot a rescue CD / ISO to do the resize offline.
