-== Steps to get your Proxmox VE up and running ==
-=== Install Proxmox VE server ===
-See [[Quick installation]]
-[http://youtu.be/ckvPt1Bp9p0 Proxmox VE installation (Video Tutorial)]
-If you need to install the outdated 1.9 release, check [[Installing Proxmox VE v1.9 post Lenny retirement]]
-=== Optional: Install Proxmox VE on Debian 6 Squeeze (64 bit) ===
-EOL.
-See [[Install Proxmox VE on Debian Squeeze]]
-=== Optional: Install Proxmox VE on Debian 7 Wheezy (64 bit) ===
-EOL April 2016
-See [[Install Proxmox VE on Debian Wheezy]]
-=== Optional: Install Proxmox VE on Debian 8 Jessie (64 bit) ===
-See [[Install Proxmox VE on Debian Jessie]]
-=== [[Developer_Workstations_with_Proxmox_VE_and_X11]] ===
-This page will cover the install of X11 and a basic Desktop on top of Proxmox. [[Developer_Workstations_with_Proxmox_VE_and_X11#Optional:_Linux_Mint_Mate_Desktop | Optional:_Linux_Mint_Mate_Desktop]] is also available.
-=== Optional: Install Proxmox VE over iSCSI ===
-See [[Proxmox ISCSI installation]]
-==== Get Appliance Templates ====
-===== Download =====
-Just go to your content tab of your storage (e.g. "local") and [[Get Virtual Appliances|download pre-built Virtual Appliances]] directly to your server. This list is maintained by the Proxmox VE team and more and more Appliances will be available. This is the easiest way and a good place to start.
-===== Use a NFS share for ISO´s =====
-If you have a NFS server you can use a NFS share for storing ISO images. To start, configure the NFS ISO store on the web interface (Configuration/Storage).
-===== Upload from your desktop =====
-If you already got Virtually Appliances you can upload them via the upload button. To install a virtual machine from an ISO image (using KVM full virtualization) just upload the ISO file via the upload button.
-===== Directly to file system =====
-Templates and ISO images are stored on the Proxmox VE server (see /var/lib/vz/template/cache for openvz templates and /var/lib/vz/template/iso for ISO images). You can also transfer templates and ISO images via secure copy (scp) to these directories. If you work on a windows desktop, you can use a graphical scp client like [http://winscp.net winscp].
-=== Optional: Reverting Thin-LVM to "old" Behavior of <code>/var/lib/vz</code> (Proxmox 4.2 and later) ===
-If you installed Proxmox 4.2 (or later), you see yourself confronted with a changed layout of your data. There is no mounted <code>/var/lib/vz</code> LVM volume anymore, instead you find a thin-provisioned volume. This is technically the right choice, but one sometimes want to get the old behavior back, which is described here. This section describes the steps to revert to the "old" layout on a freshly installed Proxmox 4.2:
-* After the Installation your storage configuration in <code>/etc/pve/storage.cfg</code> will look like this:
-<pre>
-dir: local
-        path /var/lib/vz
-        content iso,vztmpl,backup
-lvmthin: local-lvm
-        thinpool data
-        vgname pve
-        content rootdir,images
-</pre>
-* You can delete the thin-volume via GUI or manually and have to set the local directory to store images and container aswell. You should have such a config in the end:
-<pre>
-dir: local
-        path /var/lib/vz
-        maxfiles 0
-        content backup,iso,vztmpl,rootdir,images
-</pre>
-* Now you need to recreate <code>/var/lib/vz</code>
-<pre>
-root@pve-42 ~ > lvs
-  LV   VG   Attr       LSize  Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
-  data pve  twi-a-tz-- 16.38g             0.00   0.49
-  root pve  -wi-ao----  7.75g
-  swap pve  -wi-ao----  3.88g
-root@pve-42 ~ > lvremove pve/data
-Do you really want to remove active logical volume data? [y/n]: y
-  Logical volume "data" successfully removed
-root@pve-42 ~ > lvcreate --name data -l +100%FREE pve
-  Logical volume "data" created.
-root@pve-42 ~ > mkfs.ext4 /dev/pve/data
-mke2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
-Discarding device blocks: done
-Creating filesystem with 5307392 4k blocks and 1327104 inodes
-Filesystem UUID: 310d346a-de4e-48ae-83d0-4119088af2e3
-Superblock backups stored on blocks:
-, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208,
-        4096000
-Allocating group tables: done
-Writing inode tables: done
-Creating journal (32768 blocks): done
-Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
-</pre>
-* Then add the new volume in your <code>/etc/fstab</code>:
-<pre>
-/dev/pve/data /var/lib/vz ext4 defaults 0 1
-</pre>
-* Restart to check if everything survives a reboot.
-You should end up with a working "old-style" configuration where you "see" your files as it was before Proxmox 4.2
