 ====== Proxmox on Raspberry Pi5 ======
+This is a little summary on how to setup an run VMs using Proxmox on a NVMe

+  * Additional information on how to create a VM (section "VM erstellen"): https://www.bachmann-lan.de/proxmox-8-auf-dem-raspberry-pi-4-installieren/
-===== NVMe =====
+First of all, install Raspberry Pi OS as you would normally using Pi Imager or alike
+===== NVMe setup =====
+Edit ''/boot/config.txt'' and add the following lines.
+<code bash /boot/config.txt>
+# Enable NVME
+dtparam=nvme
+</code>
+This will enable the NVMe and it will be list after reboot (''sudo reboot'')
+<code bash>
+ $ lsblk
+NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
+mmcblk0     179:0    0  59.5G  0 disk
+├─mmcblk0p1 179:1    0   512M  0 part /boot/firmware
+└─mmcblk0p2 179:2    0    59G  0 part /

+└─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0   931G  0 part
+</code>
 ==== Install rpi-clone ====
+Now, that we have the NVMe up and running it is time to copy the OS from the SD-card to the NVMe
+using ''rpi-clone''.

-==== Change boot order ====
-Run ''rpi-eeprom-config -e'', change ''BOOT_ORDER'' and add ''PCIE_PROBE=1''
+==== Clone SD-card to NVMe ====
+First, wipe all partitions before cloning the SD card:
 <code>
-BOOT_ORDER=0xf416
+umount /dev/nvme0n1p?
-PCIE_PROBE=1
+wipefs --all --force /dev/nvme0n1p1
+wipefs --all --force /dev/nvme0n1
+dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1024 count=1
 </code>
+Finally clone the OS
-''lsblk'' will show the available device.
+<code>
+rpi-clone nvme0n1
+</code>
+==== Change boot order to boot from NVMe ====
+Run ''rpi-eeprom-config -e'', change ''BOOT_ORDER'' and add ''PCIE_PROBE=1'' or use ''raspi-config'' (Select Advanced Option -> Boot Order -> NVMe/USB Boot Boot from NVMe before trying USB and then SD Card)
-Wipe all partitions before cloning the SD card:
 <code>
-umount /dev/nvme0n1p?
+BOOT_ORDER=0xf416
-wipefs --all --force /dev/nvme0n1p1

-wipefs --all --force /dev/nvme0n1
-dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1024 count=1

-===== Add Proxmox repo =====
+After another ''reboot'', ''lsblk'' will look like this:
+<code bash>
+$ lsblk
+NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
+mmcblk0     179:0    0  59.5G  0 disk

+During install you may have to decide wheather or not to change the ''pveport.list'' file.
+Simply keep the current installed version of the file.
+<code>
+Configuration file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pveport.list'
+ ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
+ ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.

+    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
+      D     : show the differences between the versions
+      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation

 Proxmox is now available under https://192.168.178.26:8006
+===== Login =====
+Proxmox uses system accounts. So you have to set the ''root'' users password using ''passwd''
+when logged in as ''root'' (''sudo -i'')
+===== Required VM settings, otherwise it won't boot =====
+When you get "display output is not active" in console it might indicate
+that you need to change the settings as described below.
+Select the VM to be configured. Click on "Hardware"
+  * CD/DVD Drive: select a ISO file (arm64 images required)
+  * BIOS: OVMF (UEFI)
+  * Machine: Default (virt)
+  * Add -> EFI Disk, select "local"
+Hardware settings
+{{:hardware.png?600|}}
+Add EFI Disk
+{{:uefi.png?600|}}
