Hi, I just wondering what's going on inside the path. as far as I know, there is a configuration file of our VM in proxmox. but, I have 2 VMs (CT template actually, both of them) in my locals. but when I check to the path, there is no conf file, it's literally empty. is it because I use ct templates rather than VM??? i have no idea about this, the documentation doesn't explain at all.. thanks
 
it stores the config files for qemu based VMs.
oh i got a point. so this is because I'm not using VMs right? i also just checked a site that said, linux container has its own config file. so I guess they (VM and CT) has its own config file. is it true?

Every virtual guest has its own config, Containers and VMs; the path the configs are stored at differs though by guest-type and node they're located on; check stoiko's link for details on that.

Yesss! thankyou for the explanations.. at the end I've got a summary that said:
- if you want to check configuration files of VMs, check this path: /etc/pve/qemu-server
- if you want to check configuration files of CT, check this path: /etc/pve/lxc

Yes, but for clarity: those paths are always OK for a single node, but in a cluster they'd point to the local (ssh/webconsole connected) node, the node specific base path for those directories is /etc/pve/nodes/NODENAME/.
