Physical Linux Server to Proxmox VM

[Emerson]

Hello,

I have a linux server (debian) to migrate to a bigger disk, in the process I'm looking forward to virtualize this server.
I did a clonezilla disk image of the server (it is on a external HD), how can I import it to proxmox and start a new VM with this image? Couldn't find much info about this on the internet.

have you checked out this wiki page? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE

Yes, but this guide for a two setup computer, I only have one, should be similar the process but with a file image. (the guide is also for windows and other hypervisors).
I even tried moving the folder created by clonezilla to the /var/lib/vz/images/ folder, but I guess since it is not a single file image it didn't work, will try using acronis to image it before trying to import to proxmox.

you can install proxmox ve, create a suitable VM. Inside this VM you should be able to use clonezilla to fill your virtual disk.

Thanks, it worked, on the wiki page it is not clear enough, that that should be done, will suggest a change.
