Proxmox VE is a virtualization platform that lets you run virtual machines and manage them from a single interface. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to install Proxmox VE on Linux Mint.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to add the Proxmox VE repository to your system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve $(lsb_release -cs) pve-no-subscription" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list
This command will add the Proxmox VE repository to your system.
Next, you'll need to import the GPG key. Run the below command to import the GPG key:
wget -qO - http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Before installing Proxmox VE, let's update our system.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Now install the Proxmox VE by running the below command.
sudo apt install proxmox-ve postfix open-iscsi -y
This command will install the Proxmox VE on your system.
Once you have installed the Proxmox VE, you can access it by navigating to https://<IP-address>/. Replace <IP-address> with the IP address of your machine.
In this tutorial, you have successfully installed the Proxmox VE on your Linux Mint system. You can now create virtual machines and manage them from a single interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
