Reboot to other image from within image

[proximity]

Is there a way to boot to another image from within an image? I have a passthrough image for both windows and ubuntu and would like to be able to swap between them without proxmox access. (Actually so my kids can reboot to another image ).

hi,

you can make use of dual boot and have grub entries for both ubuntu and windows. that way when (re)booting the vm you can choose which OS to boot into.

Thx.

I prefer to use 2 different images.

No way to accomplish that?

i'm not sure what you mean


you can have two disks in your vm, utilizing one of them as a bootdisk.

something like this:

disk1 = ubuntu
disk2 = windows

install grub on disk1 and boot from it.

and when booting you can choose between ubuntu/windows.
