Proxmox on top of Debian 10, lvmthin for data?

[Tapio Lehtonen]

On Hetzner dedicated server I installed Debian 10 using installimage, and then apt-get install proxmox-ve per Hetzner instructions

Now /var/lib/vz is on root partition, which is small and most of the NVMe disk is unused.

I read I should create an lvmthin pool for data /var/lib/vz. I did not find info on how to do this and get Proxmox to use it.
Should I just forget this way of installing and do the install again using official Proxmox VE install image?

No need to make a lvm-thin pool, /var/lib/vz/imagens will be the storage for vm disks, the "local" storage.
Have you followed this instructions?

Have you followed this instructions?

Not those, I followed the Hetzner instructions I linked to in #1. But apart from not installing open-iscsi they look similar.
So I just mount the /dev/md1 to /var/lib/vz as dir storage?

root@hetrauta ~ # mount /dev/md1 /srv
mount: /srv: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'.
